The interview with the German television company ZDF was actually over when Kolbe spoke:
"Can I say one thing? I read so many comments and I'm really happy about all the support we get. But despite that, I see really rude comments in the comment sections of some athletes. And I would like one thing: We represent Germany here and get support from everyone who watches. And I expect a little more respect," Kolbe said on Thursday after failing to advance from her 800-meter semifinal.
