Spanish Athlete sets example of kindness, sportsmanship
Spanish athlete Ivan Fernandez Anaya did a very sportsmanship like task in the Burlada Cross race in the city of Navarra. As he was finishing the race with 150 meters left, but instead he stopped and encouraged African runner Abel Mutai to finish the race and come in first place. Honestly, this was a very bold act of sportsmanship something I’d probably wouldnt have done but it takes a true gentlemen to do this. The Kenya runner couldnt speak english, he thought the race was over but he had roughly 30 meters left in the race. So Ivan went behind him and pushed him encouraging and guiding him towards the finish line. In the end of the interview Anaya quotes “On this occasion I let myself win because my heart told me that he was the winner of the race,” (anaya). In the worlds eyes Anaya is the true winner.
