The most valuable Olympic medal gave this girl is not for victory

all started in the qualifying race at a distance of 5000 meters, when Nikki Humbly New Zealand faced a US runner Abby D'Agostino. < Nikki got up and was about to continue the race, but I noticed that Abby is injured and needs help.







That's when she committed an act that has become one of the most exciting and touching story in the Olympic Games in Rio. Nikki Humbly helped his opponent up with the words: «Get up, get up! It is necessary to run to the finish line! »

They never ran - supporting and helping each other. < The girls finish last. Because Abby was seriously injured, she had to leave the track on a wheelchair.







Despite all this, it would seem a terrible coincidence, the two girls went to the finals and have been awarded the Pierre de Coubertin medal for showing generosity and the true spirit of sport during the Olympic Games, and it is - Higher the reward for this athlete But most importantly -. they have shown the world that in the event there is a place kindness, compassion and humanity
