Explanation:
What?
Hey Mate!!
No they were not!!
Something strange happened. The rest eight of the sprinters, who had trained as hard, noticed the plight of their crippled mate. They held back their surge, and turned around to the rescue of their battered friend. They helped him to stand on his feet. They lavished their care and comfort on him.
Thereafter, the whole contingent of nine sprinters walked their way to the finishing line holding one another’s hand. The banner that fluttered read ‘Special Olympics’. It was indeed special, because in no other Olympic, one could see fiercely competing athletes aborting their dream runs to aid a fellow athlete. It was a sacrifice of the rarest kind. It was a show of empathy of the most exemplary kind.
The 100-yard dash came to a dramatic end heralding the victory of compassion and fairness over selfishness, and aloofness. All nine were awarded a gold medal each. The spectators gave them a rousing ovation for demonstrating the loftiest values of sports and games.
