Exhausted from a previous race, a high school track star from Ohio was in last place in a 3,200-meter race last year when she saw the competitor in front of her start to fall just a few meters from the finish. Though runners can be disqualified for physically helping other runners, Meghan Vogel put her arm around Arden McMath and helped carry her to the end — even making sure that McMath crossed first. "It's strange to have people telling me that this was such a powerful act of kindness and using words like 'humanity,'" Vogel said. "When I hear words like that I think of Harriet Tubman and saving people's lives. I don't consider myself a hero. I just did what I knew was right and what I was supposed to do."
We should lend a hand to people who are in need.
Although it is a competition,she still lend her hand to help her to finish the race.
Competition is not all about winning the sport or game.
Each sportsman need to have sportsmanship.
Sportmanship is an aspiration or ethos that a sport or activity will be enjoyed for its own sake, with proper consideration for fairness , ethics, respect, and a sense of fellowship with one's competitors.
Although we are not sportsman, but we should practice the sportsmanship.
