The high quality is still encoding, but the video is up.

Her fault. Still sucks for her though.
Im trying to figure out what happens from that angle, it sorta looks like she clips her own right leg with her left foot. I can't tell if Aragawi catches her heel or not
after watching that video, i'd say the fall was nobody's fault but uceny's.
Glad I get to see the video before you are forced to remove the video by the IOC!
she has contact first with a runner behind her, then ahead of her, and just totally loses her balance for what looks like no reason.
After slowing it down frame by frame, it looks like the fall was definitely caused by her foot catching her own calf. What caused that to happen... I can't definitively tell
Thanks dude, best video of the fall I've seen.
Yep. Her knee hit the trailing spike in front.
Take that, morons who thought it was from kicking the Egyptian!
It will stay up for a while. No keywords or anything.
It's pretty damning evidence that it's entirely Uceny's fault. She kicks the Ethiopian runner, who is off to the left and behind, with her left foot. Uceny's left foot bounces of the Ethiopian's thigh, and into Uceny's own right calf, causing her to fall, and Uceny almost takes out the Kenyan and the Ethiopian runner.
Nobody clipped Uceny's heel or any of that nonsense. She literally kicked herself in the calf and fell down.
At first it looked like she tripped over her own feet. But after a closer look I believe Uceny's left foot hit the Ethiopian's right thigh, then Uceny's left foot clipped her own right calf and she went down. It sucks, but I don't think you can blame any other runners.
ok maybe she did kick her calf. Never mind.
Definately her own fault.
Yes, it looks like there was no foul. Uceny is going to have to make herself into a front-runner or at least learn to take on the race from 500m out if she wants to avoid this type of jostling which she apparently cannot handle.

That's what I saw also. Uceny's back kick hit the thigh of the Ethiopian causing her to trip. Agree, just contact in a race. Uceny might want to keep closer to the front where extreme jostling is a little less.

I don't think it's anyone's fault so to speak but you're right about the sequence of events. Clearly an accident and no one will be DQ'd because of it.
Cant play this video. On the BBC archive go to 2:14 and watch the chain of events with Kostetskaya almost falling on the inside, affecting Aregawi in front, which leads to her getting too close to Uceny and contacting her leg. The final stumble by UCeny is not her own fault.
If the fall was indeed caused initially by contact with Aregawi's thigh, that should be considered Aregawi's fault. Nothing she can do about the runners behind her and out of her field of vision.
Either way it just f*cking sucks, doesn't even really matter whose fault it was

I agree. It has nothing to do with anything that happened in front of her. Her left heel goes back and as she brings it up to drive forward, her left heel hits the knee of #7 behind her. That pushes her left heel across the midline of her body and as she brings it forward, it catches on her right calf causing her to trip.
Definitely incidental contact, but not as if she tripped over herself for no reason. I don't think it was preventable by her other than by reacting super fast and not kicking herself (unlikely), or having really good balance and catching herself before she went down - also super hard.
Too bad for her - sucks.
Kostetskya is not falling to the inside at all. Not sure what you're seeing. Someone other than Kostetskya?
