University returns home to play Bethune-Cookman on Thursday.

RIO DE JANEIRO -- New Zealand runner Nikki Hamblin was lying on the track, dazed after a heavy fall and with her hopes of an Olympic medal seemingly over. Suddenly, there was a hand on her shoulder and a voice in her ear: Get up. We have to finish this.It was American Abbey DAgostino, offering to help.I was like, Yup, yup, youre right. This is the Olympics Games. We have to finish this, Hamblin said.It was a scene to warm the hearts of fans during a qualifying heat of the womens 5,000 meters. Hamblin and DAgostino set aside their own hopes of making the final to look out for a fellow competitor.It started when DAgostino clipped Hamblin from behind and they both went sprawling with about 2,000 meters to go.Hamblin fell heavily on her right shoulder. DAgostino got up, but Hamblin was just lying there. She appeared to be crying. Instead of running in pursuit of the others, DAgostino crouched down and put her hand on the New Zealanders shoulder, then under her arms to help her up, and softly urged her not to quit.That girl is the Olympic spirit right there, Hamblin said of DAgostino. Ive never met her before. Like I never met this girl before. And isnt that just so amazing. Such an amazing woman.As it turned out, DAgostino probably needed more help: She soon realized shed hurt her ankle in the fall.Grimacing, she refused to give up, though, running nearly half the race with the injury. Hamblin did what she could, hanging back with DAgostino for a little while to return the favor and offer encouragement.She helped me first. I tried to help her. She was pretty bad, Hamblin said. She eventually had to leave DAgostino behind and was certain that the American would have to stop.Nope.I didnt even realize she was still running. When I turned around at the finish line and shes still running, I was like, wow, Hamblin said.She waited for her new friend to cross the line -- DAgostino had been lapped -- and they hugged.This time, it was DAgostino who was in tears.As DAgostino was about to be taken away in a wheelchair, she stretched out her right hand and the two runners gripped each others forearms for a few moments.In an Olympics that has seen a few unsavory incidents -- the Egyptian judoka who refused to shake hands with his Israeli opponent, the booing of a French pole vaulter by the Brazilian crowd -- Hamblin and DAgostino provided a memory that captured the Olympic spirit.Olympic officials also decided that both runners, and Austrias Jennifer Wenth, who was also affected by the collision, would have places in Fridays final.Im never going to forget that moment, Hamblin said. When someone asks me what happened in Rio in 20 years time, thats my story ...

LOS ANGELES -- UCLA guard Jordin Canada was focused on grabbing the rebound she needed for her first triple-double.So when teammate Monique Billings flung away the rebounded ball they both held, Canada glared at her. Players and coaches on the UCLA bench all knew what was at stake and collectively groaned in disbelief.Everyone finished with smiles because Canada notched her 10th rebound with 48 seconds left.Canada had 11 points, 10 rebounds and 12 assists to lead No. 9 UCLA to a 95-47 win over Southern University on Friday night.Its the sixth triple-double in school history, and Canada also crossed the 1,000-point mark, a milestone she didnt know about until after the game.Its also an honor. Its a great feeling to know that Ive put in the work, Canada said. Im very proud of myself, but its not all about points. Yes, its a great honor, but its not everything.Kennedy Burke led the Bruins with 23 points, including a career-high five 3-pointers. UCLA finished with a school-record 14 3-pointers, breaking the 12 set against Hawaii in 2009.Billings had a double-double with 22 points and 15 rebounds, her fifth consecutive since last season. She also set a career high with six steals.But she drew the ire of her point guard.We have goals that we have to meet. Mo was one rebound away from getting 15 rebounds, which was her goal, Canada said. I was one rebound away from getting a triple-double. At the time, I thought she already met her goal. When the ball went up we both had it, and I was screaming because I wanted it. She took it away. I was mad.I didnt realize she hadnt met her goal until afterward, so I felt bad. Were just really passionate about getting our goals.UCLA had just nine players available for the game. Four players arre injured and have yet to play this season.ddddddddddddCanada prides herself on passing, defending and, when a milestone is on the line, rebounding.Ive never seen Jordan so mad at me running down the court, said Billings, with a laugh. She got her rebound, too. So its all good.Skylar OBear scored 14 points and Briana Green added 12 for Southern (1-2).BIG PICTURE:Southern got the experience of playing one of the best teams in the country on the road and will have plenty of learning opportunities in a postgame film session.UCLA has its sights set on a national championship. With an 84-70 loss to No. 2 Baylor on the road four days ago, it showed theres work to be done. UCLA dominated Southern at home, where it plays so well, but hasnt won a road game against a ranked opponent in its last 13 consecutive games. After the loss to Baylor, UCLA likely will fall out of the top 10.QUOTABLE:I think were still not playing anywhere close to what were going to become. Thats a good news-bad news. Its bad news because we missed an opportunity at Baylor. The good news is that theres no danger this group is going to peak early. We have so many things we still need to work on. On the other hand, were shooting the ball great. Were a selfless team. -- UCLA coach Cori Close on ways to improve after a 48-point win.UP NEXT:Southern University returns home to play Bethune-Cookman on Thursday.
