Ethiopian runner Etenesh Diro finished seventh in her steeplechase semifinal heat on Friday despite running the last 800 meters of the race with only one shoe.
Diro was leading her heat when her right shoe came loose and she collided with other runners. She then attempted to put the shoe back on, but eventually ripped it and her sock off before attempting to chase down the pack.
Diro was able to make up some ground and finished the race in seventh place. She finished with a time of 9:34.70, which was not good enough to advance to the final round.
