RIO DE JANEIRO — Instead of making the finals, Jasmine Camacho-Quinn ended up in a tearful heap on the track in the Olympic 100-meter hurdles semifinals Wednesday night at the Olympic Stadium.
Camacho-Quinn, competing for Puerto Rico, was among the leaders through seven hurdles. But she knocked down the eighth and ninth hurdles as she cleared them and then stumbled and fell through the 10th and final hurdle.
On her hands and knees, she slapped the track with bitter disappointment and shook with tears before getting up and crossing the finish line, though she was disqualified, and then collapsed in agony again.
