When Eisier Juitt of the United States, who was ahead, tripped and fell, even Nigel Amos of Botswana, who was following him, fell.
The two runners, who were stunned, stood side by side, held each other's hands, and ran slowly to finish the race, ending an impressive race.
Fortunately, Amos was admitted to be caught in Juitt's foot and made it to the finals.
