Cannot play media. Sorry, this media is not available in your territory.
Turkish athlete Merve Aydin struggles to complete heat two of the women's 800m.
She limps round the track to a rousing reception from the crowd inside the Olympic Stadium in a scene reminiscent of Derek Redmond at Barcelona 1992. Like Redmond, she completed the race in tears.
