RIO DE JANEIRO -- The Olympic spirit was on full display during the second heat in the womens 5,000 meter run Tuesday morning.New Zealand runner Nikki Hamblin tripped and fell to the track during the race, with American Abbey DAgostino then tripping over Hamblin and falling to the ground as well. Hamblin lay there wondering what had happened when she felt DAgostinos hand on her shoulder.Get up, get up! We have to finish! DAgostino told her. This is the Olympic Games. We have to finish this.DAgostino helped Hamblin up, and the two continued to run. Having injured her knee during the fall, DAgostino was not running well and when Hamblin looked back to see if she could help, the American simply said, Keep going, keep going.The two finished last and next to last (Hamblin in 16:43 and DAgostino in 17:10) and hugged afterward.Despite the poor finish, they both will advance to the final due to having been tripped. DAgostino did not go through the mixed zone to speak with reporters due to her knee injury but Hamblin expressed nothing but eternal gratitude to the runner she had never met before.I am so grateful to Abbey for helping me, Hamblin said. That girl was the Olympic spirit right there. I am so impressed and inspired by that. TreQuan Smith Womens Jersey .

I think the members are all very worried about his well-being and the prospect of him being incarcerated.---AP Sports Writer Stephen Wilson contributed to this report. ' ' '
