Olympic Runner Helps Her Opponent
Talk about good sportsmanship! Track and field star Abbey D’Agostino had one of the most inspiring moments of the 2016 Rio Olympics. Abbey stopped to help her rival, New Zealand star Nikki Hamblin, finish the race. Hamblin took a tumble, injuring herself and leaving her unable to go any further. To avoid Nikki, Abbey tripped, stumbling to the ground and injuring herself. The two finished the race together. The moment made Olympic history and warmed the hearts of viewers all over the world. It’s rare to find two athletes who would toss aside a potential win to support and aid and competitor in need.
