'So alone': Niyonsaba criticizes own team after Olympics DQ

Olympic silver medalist Francine Niyonsaba criticized her own team officials and said Saturday she felt “so alone” after she was disqualified for lane infringement and denied a place in the 5,000-meter final at the Tokyo Olympics. Niyonsaba, who is from Burundi, then unexpectedly finished among the leaders in her 5,000 heat at the Olympic Stadium on Friday night. The lane infringement in the bustle at the start of the race wasn't her fault, she said.
