great to see Allie Wilson get an Olympic gig!
During the 800 meters race, approximately 200 meters into the event, Mu suffered a fall. She was in the middle of the pack when she veered slightly to her left.
In an unfortunate collision with fellow runner Raevyn Rogers, their feet nearly tangled. The impact threw Mu off-balance, and she tumbled to the ground.
While Rogers managed to stay upright, Mu struggled to regain her rhythm. By the time she got back up, it was too late to make up significant ground in the race. However, injury issues had sidelined her until the beginning of the track and field trials.
Probability poor running strategy considering she has long legs and a her gait.
That was heartbreaking.
I agree 💔
Ok we can put her in the 4 by 4 mixed relay & 4 by 4. She is also a superb 400m runner.
0:30 - kinda reminds me of the Zapruder Film. I feel sorry for Athing Mu, mostly because Nobody greeted her at the finish line with a consoling hug. Not even Raven Rodgers, the runner who caused the trip and fall.
Well, the American system has robbed the world of an epic Olympic 800m final...maybe. in a way the Olympic Committee could protect track fans by having some sort of wild card system that would allow, for example, reigning champions to defend their title. Even though I' m a Brit and Athing 's absence in Paris we increase Keely's gold medal chances, I am not happy. Athletic fans deserve to able to see the best of the best competing but unfortunately the Olympic Committee aren't willing to put things in place to make that hapoen
I fully agree on your point. And why make runners run 3 times just to qualify? Another potential disaster in the making is in the 100m/110m hurdles.
I sort of agree but it is the US choice how they pick their athletes. I don't think the Olympic committee should get involved other than setting qualifying times and I don't agree on a place for people to defend their title. 4 years is a long time and they need to prove themselves again just like everyone else. The trip is unfortunate but so is injury, illness, etc. Who knows, the person who qualifies instead of Mu may end up winning Olympic gold anyway. Not saying there can't be a better system but this is sport and these things happen.
@@hertor8803 Disagree! The Olympic are about the-best-of-the-best but the US often prevent that happening and that is bad for the sport and definitely bad for the fans.
I think the “solution” might be to have athletes run in their individual lanes longer than just 100 meters. Modern tracks are set up with 3 turn staggered starting lines. There would be fewer “NASCAR Crashes” in the 800m at least.
Hopefully Phoebe Gill doesn't have similar problems in the GB trials and she wins it in Paris, with Hodgkinson getting ANOTHER silver ;o) The GB trial system seems a bit better with first 2 from the trials + 1 discretionary place BUT the US dominates the Track and Field/Athletics medals so why would they change their system?
She avoided Allie and Nia caught on camera. No sportsmanship on her part. Even a slight tap will be enough.
Congrats Nia, Allie and Juliette. Anything is possible in Paris. Good Luck.
Reminds me of Mary Decker's experience after being tripped, accidently, by Zola Budd in the 1984 1500m Olympic finals.
Mary Decker was not tripped. She fell because she tried to overtake Budd on the inside lane. She herself admitted it later. The American media and American people of course went to town and howled that she was tripped.
From watching the slow mo at NBC, Athing was the only one wearing pink shoes and her left foot did something odd right before she fell. Am sure the refs have more access to videos than we do and we just have to trust their judgment.
@@josephlim6854 "...we just have to trust their judgment..." The hymn of the feeble-minded.
So sad for Athing.
Devastating. She deserves to be in Paris no matter what. She’s the best.
Can they put Athing Mu back in the Team please? There is no WAY those girls can beat Kelly nor Jemma in Olympics. Anything could be done here?
Nope.
She unfortunately fell but this is not a video game you don't get a second chance better luck next olmpics trials
I can't see Juliette doing great things in Paris, although her great finish could see her do well in a slowish prelim. However, I can see her doing great things in the future
Prudence for gold in Paris!
Sick? Injured? Tripped on the track? Or just unfit? I love her so much as a powerful, graceful runner and this is a shock.
I guess if you can't beat the best .... trip them 😎 Problem solved
Mu should have raced to the front of the pack immediately !
Judging by the times being put up at the Trials, there will not be many medals for the U.S. in track & field in Paris.
Are you slow? If these athletes don't f*** it up then they'll be getting medals...Crouser, Kovacs, Valman, Mclaughlin (obvi), Richardson, Holloway, Lyles, Anna Hall, Coleman, Norman, Quincy Hall, I personally think Atkins could get at least a bronze in the 800m, Cunningham, Natgeotte, 400 relay men's and women, 100 relay men's and women.....y'all acting like Athing Mu is the only damn athlete in the US, tf?
@@Potatoed9 My memory is a little longer than yours, so I see the decline more clearly than you.
@@paulfhoffman longer to what extent? It has been pretty constant, the last four olympic games: 23....30....32....26 seems pretty constant to me and I don't see it changing from its average.
@@Potatoed9 I started racing and following T&F internationally around 1954, between the Helsinki and Melbourne Olympics.
Bunch of cheats tripping Mu
She appealed it and nope
All 7 tripped Mu? I did not see that😄. She did not qualify, deal with it.
@@dijkb She was not a Good Sport. Did not congratulate the girls.
ATHING MU DESERVES TO LOSE... If she did not fall and got left behind by MILES, she will lose anyway... What does she expect? She may be expecting that her "superstar" status can get her to the Paris O. She has not been running competitively, been out of the competition, for the last 9 to 12 months... She barely made it to the semis...! Again, what does she expect? I think its her stubborn, superstar mentality that cost her her defeat... And MU DESERVES IT!
You are so wrong by saying that. She has been working very hard to defend her title and her coach better than anyone knows when she can compete. You have no empathy at all smh
Check yourself son. Homegirl has been injured for most of this last year. Also, Athing Mu has not made any special requests to be placed on the Olympic team. She knew she was out, that’s why she started crying when she hit the finish line. Unfortunately for A.M., the mainstream media and corporate sponsors build up their chosen athletes star power way beyond a level that anyone could live up to.
What! Keely was out for the same amount of time ( almost) and ran a fabulous time in Eugene.
@@RobertJohnson-bj5lk What! If you don't finish in the top three there are no grounds for " special requests".
@@musik102 But Keely had competitions run after her healing... Athing has absolutely none... Get the point?
