Just horrible

I felt bad for her. But she did that to herself. She didn't run all year and it showed. She usually leads from the front since her stride is so long. She doesn't do best when running in the pack.

Agreed.

The article here explains it well.

Mu tore her hamstring just weeks earlier, making her fall in the final that much more “traumatic,” her team says, while also spotlighting the cutthroat process.

This is Mu though. She is probably the only American who would have gotten a medal, injured or not.
