Alessia Zarbo collapses

During the women's 10,000-meter final at the Paris Olympics, French runner Alessia Zarbo, 22, collapsed on the track, prompting immediate medical attention as the race continued. The crowd at Stade de France offered support while she was taken off on a stretcher, but no updates on her condition have been released. Beatrice Chebet from Kenya won the gold medal, while Italy's Nadia Battocletti and the Netherlands' Sifan Hassan secured silver and bronze, respectively. Zarbo's collapse adds to a series of troubling incidents at the Games, including Ethiopian runner Lamecha Girma being hospitalized after a severe fall in the steeplechase and Germany’s Sophie Weissenberg suffering an Achilles injury during warmups. The worrying trend raises concerns about athlete safety amid the demanding conditions of the Olympics. The event's emotional atmosphere may have contributed to Zarbo's distress, as reported by several broadcasters.
