WATCH: Heartwarming scenes as runner helps stricken rival stagger across the line at World Atheltics Championships in Doha
There were emotional scenes at the IAAF World Athletics Championships in Doha as Braima Suncar Dabo of Guinea-Bissau helped stricken rival Jonathan Busby of the tiny Island nation of Aruba across the line.
Both runners are the sole men to represent their nations at the championships in Qatar, and put any notion of rivalry aside in a truly touching moment in their 5,000m heat at the Khalifa International Stadium on Friday.
In energy-sapping conditions, Busby was struggling badly in the final stages of the race, and with Dabo also way out of contention, he gave up on his own time to help Busby stagger down the home straight and finish the race.
Добрейшая история дня. Бисби из страны Аруба не мог добежать 5 километров, но тут на помощь пришел Дабо.
Максимальное уважение обоим. Первому – что не сдался. Второму – что не бросил
