Athing Mu TRIPS, misses on Paris Olympics as Nia Akins wins 800m final | NBC Sports


Defending women’s 800m Olympic champion Athing Mu shockingly tripped and fell just seconds into the women’s 800m final and will miss out on the Paris Games. Nia Akins powered to win in 1:57.36 to head to the Olympics.

  1. 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.

  2. 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…🤷‍♀️

  3. 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.!
    ☮️✝️☮️✨✨✨🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🍀🍀🍀

  4. 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!

  5. 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.
