Alessia Zarbo, a first-time Olympian from France, faced a challenging moment during the women's 10,000 meters event at the Stade de France. Zarbo, who graduated from the University of Oregon in 2023, encountered difficulties throughout the race, falling behind the pack early on.
As the race progressed, Zarbo found herself lapped by most of the field before collapsing on the track. Medical personnel swiftly responded, and she was carefully placed on a stretcher and taken off the track for further evaluation and treatment.
