What a classy way to handle things, you really don't see this much in sports these days, which is a shame really.

Don't everyone stone me at once! But while that was very sweet and incredibly generous...she did not win the race. Though she may be faster by a long shot, following the rules is a part of winning the race.
Just to relate it to something I'm more familiar with... I watch my godson wrestle all the time and even when the ref calls it wrong and the other kid admits it...it's just sucked up as being part of the sport. Even at national levels. So, I guess I'm just used to THAT attitude being good sportsmanship and not giving up medals to those who technically got pined just cause you know he's normally the better wrestler. Isn't the competition what makes it a sport after all? Just how I see it. I am very glad there are kids sweet enough to be so giving at their own expense though...don't get me wrong.

I tend to agree with you. I think a better example of sportsmanship was when the two players of the opposing softball team carried the other player around the bases after she hit a homerun but couldn't run the bases because of a knee injury. Their actions contributed to their team not making the playoffs. The whole story is at http://nbcsports.msnbc.com/id/24392612/ |
