Rio Olympics 2016: US and NZ runners help each other

An American runner has been praised as a true Olympian after stopping mid-race to help a fallen rival on to her feet.

Abbey D`Agostino helped New Zealand`s Nikki Hamblin who was lying dazed on the track after the two entangled and fell in the 5,000m heats in Rio.

"Get up. We have to finish this," D`Agostino told her.

It was then Hamblin`s turn to help D`Agostino, hanging back to encourage the injured American, who hobbled over the line in last place.

They embraced before D`Agostino left in a wheelchair with a hurt ankle.

Neither initially qualified for the final but they earned much praise for their spirit.
