What a beautiful example of true sportsmanship. Ariana does not need the gold medal, her heart is made of the stuff.

[elijah]

Cant believe she let her finish first, she has a lot of heart

[mohammadshah]

That girl who helped should be given a medal for a true sportsmanship displayed.

[KS-wkuk]

I guess both of them cared about getting to the finish line more than the medals because touching another runner is automatic disqualification

"She's gunna be fine"
-Wheeles her around-
"I thi- uh we've seen this before" LMAO.

It looks like the brunette, even tho she was tapping out, STILL didn't want the blond to finish before her. 😆

The "second place" won the heart of many, including mine.❤💐💐💐

[phucknaw]

They are both true winners. One pushed herself way beyond her limits and the other sacrificed the win to help a fellow out even if it meant 2nd place. That’s what being human is about.

This clip is so beautifull, you can see the pain on her face but give up was not a possibility. Thank you Blonde Hero for helping this brave woman. Both deserve the best.

My eyes shed tears after seeing this...true humanity never look ahead for him or herself.... surroundings and step down people will always be protected in their arms.... A big round of applause 👏👏

Ariana (the blue girl) deserve more credits! Awesome sportsmanship! This video is her gold medal!

[novaordemdesantiago]

She reaches for the line with her hand to be sure she was first. I would have give the win to the girl that helped me finish the race. 👎🏻

[peacewillow]

you go, ariana! 🌻
that was one of the most beautiful displays of compassion and kindness that i have ever seen. 💕

[jadhen]

Thats me doing my best to get through this semester

[ivanbaraba]

I could feel this completely, i didn't run marathon but the half one . My first run was so painful, couldn't walk normally and felt pain after 2 or 3 weeks still.

Big respect for both runners 💪

[Ro-phtj]

The blonde one helped her, and the only thing she cared was to win, not even a "thanks", she deserved to lose

[markcollins]

Love seeing that, that's great sportsmanship when she got in the wheelchair she looking like she was ready to go into the light.

[TheBurninator]

When you're five and your parents say it's bedtime lol 😂

[timeagain]

Tremendous example of sportsmanship and humanity

[chrisgoo]

so...who wins the prize the girl being helped or the girl helping her?
