RIO DE JANEIRO: The US 5,000m runner who stopped to help a fallen competitor back to her feet tore a ligament in her knee and will not be able to run in the final. Abbey D’Agostino finished the race Tuesday after helping Nikki Hamblin of New Zealand back up and urging her to finish. The two clipped heels during the later part of the race and tumbled to the ground.
