Long distance runner representing Kenya, Mutai, was only a few meters from the finish line, but because he was confused by the finish line signs, he stopped. He thought he had finished the race. The Spanish athlete, Iván Fernandez, was right behind him and realizing what was happening, he started shouting at the Kenyan runner to keep running, but Mutai did not speak Spanish and did not understand. So the Spaniard pushed him towards the winning line.
A journalist asked Iván:
"Why did you do that?"
Ivan answered: "My dream is that one day we will live together and have good morals in society."
The journalist insisted: "But why did you let the Kenyan win?"
Ivan replied: "I don't let him win, indeed he will win"
The journalist insisted again: "But you can win if you don't help him."
Ivan looked at him and answered: "But what is the benefit of my victory? What is the honor of the medal? What will my mother think and say about it to me?"
