Disaster Strikes during the 5,000m trial heat It all started when New Zealand's Nikki Hamblin took a tumble on the inside track. Impossible to avoid the fallen runner, D'Agostino tripped over Hamblin, stumbling to the ground herself. Rather than get up and plow past Hamblin, D'Agostino stopped to check to see if her Olympic rival could continue and helped her off the ground. The selfless move quickly caught the notice of Olympic broadcasters, who commented on her show of sportsmanship.

Continuing on, it was clear the pain of D'Agostino's ankle injury was settling in. Meters later, she collapsed to the ground. It was Hamblin this time who came to her aid, checking to see if she was okay to continue. But D'Agostino wouldn't back down. She got back up on her feet, and completed the rest of her laps at a slow pace.

Finishing at 17:10.02 – more than two minutes behind heat winner Almaz Ayana – D'Agostino appeared to be all smiles. Waiting for her at the finish line was Hamblin, who quickly embraced her rival in an emotional moment.
And she's on to the Finals! Like Ethiopian runner Etenesh Diro – who made the 300-meter steeplechase finals after falling during qualifiers – Team USA successfully protested and got D'Agostino a spot in Friday's 5,000-meter final. Here's hoping she recovers quickly from Tuesday's injury to compete.
