Womens 800m Olympic Trial Final 2024 Paris Olympics

Athing Mu falls in 800m olympic trials final. She was favored to win.

I hope she can be an alternate on the 4x400. My heart broke to hear her crying 😭 😢😢😢

There goes our only shot to medal in the women’s 800

[bluerfoot]

Poor girl who had to step off the track lost her chance too.

[spope]

What was she looking at before the fall? Feel like she wasn’t focused

[klove]

That was Mu's fault she never cleared the girl in the blue shorts but she still tried to move in front of her

[apcook]

I hated that they kept the camera on her crying, so classy nbc

[apachec]

God bless. You're a winner always. It hurts, but we got you. Respect 🙏🏽

I know how it feels like kid. Sometimes life will punch you in the face. Hold your head up. We all know you're a gift. 2028 will be here before you know it.

3:03 She showed true grace by high fiving a fan. I hope she makes the 4x400.

I think they need to change the stagger. Run the 1st 400 or 500 in lanes, then break for the pole. Less congestion, contact and more pure speed racing.

If you race once every 3 years you will end up like this

This happened at the Kenya trials. But they gave the guy a place on the team.

It's not her style to slow it down after they break the lane separation. When she is in dominant form, she goes to the front and contols the race from the front. The moment she didn't do that, it felt odd, and then came the fall. The Kenyans are going to eat up the 3 going to Paris.

Athings success in her early years was to get out in front of the pack and go! She doesnt have experience running in a pack. Coach Kersey is not the coach Id want for my kid. Hides them away from competing, making this their 1st one of the year. changes totally Mu's approach to racing and training, that she has had great success with. Cashing that Nike paycheck, Coach? for what? How many times have you seen Sydney McLaughlin run in the last 2 years? He's been keeping her off the track too. Sponsors can't be liking that.

[pokethekat]

She has to get out right away or stay back. Poor racing.

[michaelmc]

Anyone who is trained by Bobby Kersee is suspect. Flo Jo & Jackie Joyner Kersee (who had positive tests covered up before Seoul 1988) why does she hardly race? To avoid the testers. Keely is clean abd truly deserved the olympic gold.

[anthonyk]

Need a mechanism to do something about this....smh

[kimberlyw.]

I need a side-view replay because there wasn't enough surprise on some of those faces when she fell for me

[kimlee]

This is bigger than us. Not the 1st time this happened. Just look back. Soooo sad. Sorry Athing

Reviews will be done to see if she was tripped by anyone. I have played the video at 0.25 normal speed. So far all I seem to be able to tell is she was NOT clipped from behind by the eventual winner or the girl to her right. She doesn't appear to have been clipped by Rogers either. I would like to see video from behind, inside, outside & above. My initial opinion is she mis-stepped, started to fall, then her left arm connected with the right arm of the girl who placed 3rd. If any protest is to be launched, she had to complete the race.
