Have you heard about Spanish long distance runner Iván Fernández Anaya?

Running 2nd to the bronze medalist at the London Olympics, the leader stopped short of the finish line, thinking he had already crossed the line and won. Anaya could have passed him. Instead, he informed the leader of his error through hand gestures and allowed him to finish 1st.

I would say that knowing where the finish line is is an extremely important part of racing. -- nm - Reagen Jan 18, 08:25 2
- and since when when runners cross the line, just fucking STOP. - groiny Jan 18, 08:25 1
  - I like how the guy is like, "Thanks, but you're kind of a total sucker." -- nm - Reagen Jan 18, 08:26
