It was Zola Budd, the barefoot runner, I believe '84 Olympics

she got clipped, and fell, and just sat there on the track crying.
She didn’t look like a teenager.
idk, why didn’t she get up, and finish. Sh-it happens.

I remember that Zola Budd ran barefoot. It was the big story about her, until she accidentally tripped up Mary Decker, then that became the big story.
