Ethiopia’s Etenesh Diro got tangled up with two other runners in yesterday’s 3,000m women’s Olympic steeplechase and stopped to tear off her damaged right shoe and sock, but she kept on running to finish seventh. Diro, a 25-year-old who placed fifth in the event at the 2012 London Games, broke down in tears after finishing in 9 minutes 34.7 seconds, more than 20 seconds off her personal best. But it did not mark the end of her Rio Olympics after officials granted her a spot in tomorrow’s final. The International Association of Athletics Federations also cleared Ireland’s Sara Louise Treacy and Jamaica’s Aisha Praught to run in the final after reviewing video replays of the race following protests by their teams.
