We all know for a fact that in order for you to win a race, you should be the fastest runner. But in this race, a runner proved that winners don't always have to be the fastest, sometimes they are the kindest.
She is Jacqueline Nytepi Kiplimo, a Kenyan woman who ranked second place in the Zhengkai International Marathon in China. She was supposed to be the first place in that marathon but then she chose to win the hearts of everybody instead of claiming the grand prize.
She was about to win the said marathon but then she suddenly saw this Chinese runner who's part of the 10 kilometer track, he is disabled, he has no arms. This man was obviously dehydrated for not being able to drink that water that was handed out in every end of a kilometer. Proving that she don't need the title, she slowed down and helped this man put some liquid on his body.
Considering that she slowed down on the 28 kilometer to help the Chinese, she somehow lost the chance to win, but she didn't thought of that and still helped the Chinese national til' the end.
Jacqueline might have lost her chance to win that marathon but still, she managed to win the hearts of everyone for such kindness she showed for the Chinese runner.
