“In one of the most notable moments in sports history, Kenyan runner Abel Mutai was just a few feet from the finish line, but became confused with the signage and stopped thinking he had completed the race.
A Spanish athlete, Ivan Fernandez, was right behind him, and after realizing what was happening, he started shouting at the Kenyan for him to continue running; but Mutai didn’t understand his Spanish. Fernandez eventually caught up to him and instead of passing him, he pushed him to victory.
A journalist asked Ivan, “Why did you do that?”
Ivan replied, “My dream is that someday we can have a kind of community life where we push and help each other to win.”
The journalist insisted “But why did you let the Kenyan win?“ Ivan replied, "I didn’t let him win, he was going to win.” The journalist insisted again, “But you could have won!”
Ivan looked at him & replied, “But what would be the merit of my victory? What would be the honor of that medal? What would my Mom think of that?” Values are transmitted from generation to generation. What values are we teaching our children? Let us not teach our kids the wrong ways to WIN.”
For those who were wondering WHERE is this, it’s the “Quartier Gay” at Montréal (province of Québec, in Canada)

It’s a really cool city and I love living there ngl
I miss the gay balls… I walked under them to get my groceries for two years. I confessed to my first girlfriend while walking under them. They made me feel at home in the Village and proud to be queer.
This whole thing was installed in summer 2011. The first few years, they were all pink, but in 2017 they got updated to the rainbow version from the picture. The installation was supposed to be temporary, but everyone loved it so much that they kept putting it back every summer for nine years . In the end, Claude Cormier (the artist) asked to have it taken down so other artists could use the space.
They sold the rows of balls to the public in 2019, and my mom actually got me one! It’s one of my favorite things I own.
Hey, @the-rain-on-your-dandelions, has anyone told you that you’re a genius? That’s an incredible system. I wish I had a friend group that could function for!
I could see this working for dinners, too
it’s like the Mom Friend Anxiety Hack, but for chores.
this is how a society is supposed to function. this is the norm we’ve all forgotten
