Los Angeles, 1984: The fall heard 'round the world #50Days50Moments USA's #MaryDecker writhes in pain on the side of the track after colliding with South Africa's #ZolaBudd during the women's #3000m final. Decker, a two-time world champion and #GoldMedal favorite, was seeking her first #Olympic medal, having missed the 1976 and 1980 games due to injury and the U.S. boycott. But halfway through the race, Decker got tangled up in Budd's foot, falling to the ground in agony. With a torn hip muscle - and her Olympic dreams dashed - Decker is given medical treatment on the infield with tears streaming down her face. As boos reigned down from the enormous #LAColliseum crowd, the visibly distraught Budd pulled up, ultimately finishing in seventh place. The controversial collision is one of the most unfortunate and unforgettable moments in Olympics history | August, 1984 | 📷: Bettmann | #CountdownToRio #Rio2016 #RoadToRio #TeamUSA #Running #🇺🇸
