EUGENE, Ore. -- Track officials denied an appeal by 800-meter Olympic champion Athing Mu, who got tangled in a pack of runners and fell at the U.S. trials, denying her a chance to defend her title.
Coach Bobby Kersee said Mu got clipped by another runner on the backstretch of the first lap, which caused her to veer to her left and tumble to the ground.
USA Track and Field officials reviewed footage of Monday night's race deep into the evening but eventually denied the appeal.
