Uceny falls with about a lap and a half to go.  Not sure if she completed her run.

She didn't.

[Jordan 04]

Thanks. Too bad. No telling what would have happened, but the pace was very slow so it appeared to be anybody's race.

[phillysportsfan]

Wow that is a real shame, especially with the slow pace and since that was the second time that happened to her.

Clearly accidental, though, which this sort of thing often isn't.

Zola Budd taking out Mary Decker is still one of the greatest moments in Olympic history.
