I hope it is a learning moment as all athletes fail and have bad days..remember Usain false starting…need to learn to take the bad and acknowledge the fans that love and adore you. As much as it must have hurt, she should have acknowledged and saluted the crowd for their support.

Terrible to see her fall and very sad for Athing, but at the same time it was nice to see the happiness of the 3 all making thier first olympics

@ajjaw2487

They should let her run alone and see if she can beat time.

@rodneytimpson1608

Ato and Sandra..say stupid stuff….

@rodneytimpson1608

Get Sandra…off communication

@drummajor

Well the US did not place in the 2024 Olympics… and only one runner Juliette Whitaker made the finals…

One of those runners should have stepped aside… but the days of respecting legends are long over…🤷‍♀️

@laymansjournal

and none of them medaled in Paris. Proving how STUPID this process is. Mu should have made the team regardless.

Play it back in slow- mo –
she got tripped by the-
woman right behind her.! 😮
She shoulda been allowed –
to advance.!! 😮
We are not fair here –
very rarely.!

@rivtrvlr

That strategy of a tall, long runner, working/forcing her way inside is highly questionable. Athing MU breezing through would have won this.

@irtnyc

What happened, Kate Grace?

@juliemont.566

MINUTO 0:44 she gets distracted, seen like she fell by herself.

@enriquesoteno7898

Everyone feels bad for her because she fell but what about all the other runners she threw off because of her mistake? I feel bad for THEM

@shulestuff

The result of not racing enough

@antoinette4568

I'm literally heartbroken for her. 😢

Qué fue lo que pasó

@JeffreySmith-m3y

This is the reality of racing

@guittadabe5214

I was wondering why I couldn't see Athing Mu in Paris. I just found out she tripped during the trials! We love you Athing! I'm so sorry this happened to you! Thank you for representing us so well in the last Olympics. You have a special place in our hearts no matter what happens in your career. We are so proud of you!

@dariusc9780

On the day she was born her parents just said 🤷🏾fvck it and grabbed a pen and wrote down "Athing Mu" on the birth certificate

@froggey5689

Whittaker only one to make the finals and came in second to last… we should have sent Athing Mu

@RealHumbleOne

Another 4 years 😢

@BryanHawn

The girl who fell ran faster times than the gold this year at Paris

@gentleeyes

GB just won the women's 800m gold today, a full 2 seconds slower than Athing Mu's time. I'm happy for them, but it's terrible that she was denied a chance to defend her gold because she would have gotten it again.

@ThanuD2012

We miss Athing Mu in 800M Olympic. Wish you were there to get the gold 😢

@edwarddesmond2975

Wow just wow

@9thwardless

That was just devastating,in catastrophic proportions…

@johnrogan9420

Don't cry for me, Sudan!

@johnrogan9420

Allie Wilson..a wasted spot come to find out in Paris..ran 2 comfort zone 1:59 800s…then cried when eliminated.

@johnrogan9420

The world don't stop every time you fall.
