MARY DECKER
Mary Decker, the reigning world distance running champion, had already won gold medals in the 1500m and 3000m events at the 1983 Summer Olympics in Los Angeles. Her preparations had given her high hopes going into the race, but she got tangled up in a 3000m run.

Despite her best efforts, she is unable to stand. After a collision with Zola Budd of Great Britain, she was able to continue, but she was shaken as well. Before the incident, Zola was leading the race, but she dropped to seventh place. However, Mary Decker was forced to abandon the race after suffering a hip injury.
