The Olympic’s 10,000m final produced a scary moment as medics were required after French runner Alessia Zarbo collapsed during the race.
Zarbo frighteningly fell to the ground on the home straight, with just a few laps left; the event continued while she lay motionless. The athlete was quickly attended to by medics and taken off the track on a stretcher.
