RIO DE JANEIRO, Aug. 16 (Xinhua) -- They may not have achieved what they came for, but middle-distance runners Nikki Hamblin and Abbey D'Agostino are assured of their places in Olympic Games folklore.


New Zealand's Hamblin and D'Agostino of the United States fell to the ground after tripping in the early stages of Tuesday's second women's 5000m heat here.


D'Agostino was first to recover, urging D'Agostino get back on her feet and finish the race. Both regained their footing before D'Agostino again went to ground. This time Hamblin played the role of motivator.


"Someone had to go help her," Hamblin said. "And if I could even give her one per cent back of what she gave me when she helped me get off the track, that would be amazing.


"She was like, 'go on, go on, I don't know if I can run, keep going, keep going!' "She was saying, 'I can't put weight on my knee.' It was buckling."


Despite both athletes showing obvious signs of discomfort, they managed to finish the race, albeit well behind their fellow competitors.


In moving scenes at the Olympic Stadium, the crowd rose to its feet and offered rousing applause as Hamblin crossed the line in 16 minutes 43.61 seconds. D'Agostino finished 26.41 behind her.


"She ran four and a half laps barely being able to run," Hamblin said.


Both athletes embraced each other after the heat before D'Agostino departed the arena in a wheelchair.


It isn't the first time Hamblin has stumbled during a major event. The 28-year-old also suffered a nasty fall while competing in the 1500m at the 2011 World Championships in Daegu.


Hamblin said it didn't matter that she failed to advance beyond the heats, adding that she and D'Agostino would share a lifelong bond as a result of their experience in Rio.


"You come into an Olympic Games and everyone wants to win, everyone wants to medal," Hamblin said. "But, really, as disappointing as this experience is there is so much more to this than a medal.


"When someone asks me what happened in Rio in 20 years time, that's my story."






THIMPHU jordan retro 13 cement grey for sale , May 7 (Xinhua) -- After being trapped in a house of a fraudulent overseas employment agent in Malaysia for more than two months, a 24-year old Bhutanese female job seeker finally managed to escape through traveling to Bangkok.


Like thousands of Bhutan's young job seekers, Zangmo also tried her luck through an oversee employment agent to get a job abroad, but instead she had to pay USD 4,500 to escape the trap in January this year. It took more than two months for her to mentally recover and would take many years to recover from financial loss.


Born and brought up in a small society of Bhutan air jordan 13 cement grey for sale , Zangmo never thought people could cheat her to this extent, she told Xinhua. She found herself landed in the hands of a couple of Sri-Lankan origin residing in Malaysia disguised as overseas employment agent.


For the first time in her life, Zangmo saw how the couple was also cheating other Bhutanese job seekers, with some even sending prior fees.


"The couple have links all across the globe and could avail official documents within no time," she said. "Sadly jordan 13 grey toe size 12 , despite sharing my story, there was no one to help me except for my family."


She was one of the many young job seekers, who failed to get jobs abroad despite spending their parent's lifelong savings. Local employment agents promising them with a job and handsome salary cheated most of them, and many ended in court cases.


On May 5, around 50 Bhutanese youths working in Qatar's quality hypermarket reported to the country through local media claiming that they were not paid for more than three months despite working for 10 hours a day. The Global recruitment overseas employment agent air jordan 13 grey toe for sale , a local firm, sent the youths to work in Qatar.


Considering its small population and fear of being exploited, Bhutan had seldom tried to send unemployed youths to work abroad before.


However, the issue started following the People Democratic Party government's ambitious pledge to send some 30,000 unemployed to work aboard after wining the election.


The ruling party promised 100 percent employment after coming into power in 2013. According to the latest records with the ministry of labor and human resources air jordan 13 black infrared for sale , the youth unemployment rate is 9.2 percent.


When faced with increasing job seekers in a small country with limited opportunities, the government saw overseas employment as an option to fulfill their pledge.


The government's plan is to send more than 6,000 job seekers to work abroad mostly in Middle East countries every year, and within five year it is to resch to 30,000.


Initial plan was to send through government jordan retro 13 black infrared 23 , which has been introduced by the former government, and managed to secure good number of teaching slots in Thailand, and it indeed came out as a success story.


However, later the government decided to give the opportunity to private entities, local and overseas employment agents. Most of the agents were new to the business and didn't have much links jordan retro 13 french blue size 12 , said the labor officials.


The ambitious promise failed. Into its third year, only 1,432 job seekers have found jobs abroad since the overseas employment program started, according to the latest report compiled by the ministry of labor.


Of which most of the youths were placed in India, followed by Thailand air jordan retro 13 french blue for sale , Malaysia, United Arab Emirates, Doha, Qatar, Israel and Kuwait.


To protect the youths from being exploited by the employment agents air jordan 13 bred black red , the ministry of Labor even created the regulations on Bhutanese overseas employment agents 2013. One of the regulations is to send job seekers to those countries where worker's rights are well protected.


The regulation also requires proper physical and mental medical examination of job seekers before sending to work abroad. However, the rules failed to protect the youths.
