There is no shortage of spectacular moves in professional sports - a gate at the hairdresser, a resounding dunk, an elegant drop-shot - but from time to time we witness a truly extraordinary moment.

It is not necessarily shiny, but embodies the whole spirit of sports.

This is exactly what happened at a triathlon competition held a few days ago in Spain.

The British James Tegel was on his safe way to finish in third place, but 100 meters before the finish line he made a wrong turn and got off track.

The Spanish Diego Mantrida overtook him, but immediately realized the mistake and signaled to Tigel where he should run.

Moreover, before the finish line, the 21-year-old Mantrida stopped, and Tigel can be bypassed and finished ahead of him - because he was ahead of him all the way.

"This is something my parents have taught me since I was a child," said the young Spaniard, who received the honor from the organizers and was also placed in third place, alongside an accompanying prize of 300 euros.

"For me it's the logical thing to do. When I saw him get off the track, just stop. James got that medal."

Increased to make Javier Gomes Naia, who finished in first place, and crowned the tribute as "the best in history."

Liverpool goalkeeper Adrian was also delighted from the magical moment, writing on his Twitter account: "The true values ​​of sport".
