Chemtai’s left knee, running in the lead group, touched the obstacle. He lost his balance and fell violently, limp and couldn’t move. Approximately 10 emergency staff members rushed over to take the lead and headed off course. He left the door in the middle of a nightmare and was put on a stretcher and left the venue. Cellotic won the gold medal with a new tournament record of 8 minutes 51.59 seconds, but after the race he was worried, saying, “I feel sorry for the athlete who fell.

I’ll tell her (Chemtai) that I’m sorry next time,” said Cherotic. “That’s what racing is like, and you have to continue to challenge no matter what happens. I’m grateful to God that I completed the race safely. I didn’t fall.”
