Chari Hawkins had a really rough moment during the 2024 Paris Olympics that she's not shying away from on social media.

While competing for Team USA in the heptathlon, she was given a "no heighted" score after failing to clear the 1.71 meter mark in the high jump portion of the event. That had come after she said she didn't want the points from her previous successful jumps, a decision that backfired as she ended up with zero points.

She shared video on Instagram of her tearful moment caught on camera, and had this to say: "I have never watched my own heart break before. I wish I could give her a hug. Thank you to everyone who has shared kind words and comfort over the last few days. More from me soon."
