HOW CHEPROT 'STOLE' THE SHOW AT OKPEKPE 2019

This runner gave up on a gold medal, but proved he has a heart of gold. The Kenyan runner was awarded $15,000 after giving up his chances of winning a race to help a competitor finish.
Simon Cheprot was about to cross the finish line in the Okpekpe Internation 10-kilometer Road Race in Nigeria when he noticed a fellow Kenyan runner, Kenneth Kipkemoi, collapse. He stopped, lifted Kipkemoi up and carried him across the finish line. Cheprot won the 2016 Okpekpe Race and finished second last year. He was a strong contender to be the first person to win twice in the seven years the annual race began.

[@JUSTDIDXD]

If you can’t run walk, if you can’t walk crawl, If you can’t crawl roll, if you can’t roll squirm. This guy is a true legend…

[@ivensjacques1538]

Same here

[@marriageworks3328]

When you have a good heart, winning alone is never an option but finishing together makes you stronger and greater. Thank you chep and you will always be my champion. salute 💪

[@vika0194]

Yes, but this wasn't about winning. He wouldn't be 1st.

[@festuskipleting3278]

It's better to have a golden heart than a gold medal

[@dwayne601]

Couldn't have said it better myself

[@seand4033]

One of the most beautiful things that I have ever seen. Thank you!

[@mcworks6822]

when u want to say something beautiful but u dont know much about english, so heres my ❤️

[@Anthonyngoploti]

Look like it was not the one winning the race. Or I am making a mistake. Anyway this is an act of bravery and humanity. What a deep message to world. Values are superior to money definitely.

[@Affenhirte]

I don't understand it either. How did he give up a gold medal, as it is stated in the video description, when there are half a dozen runners already across the line when he enters the screen?

[@thequixoticangler3364]

The Okpekpe road race is one if the hardest in the world. 100+ degree heat, real hill climbing, it's basically a tour de France stage that you run. For cheprot to stop and help, that was awesome. He never wasn't going to. He made that decision when eounded the corner and saw 2 others just pass him by. A true champion, both of them. The other guy wouldve literally clawed himself to the line.

[@user-rl9us5ux2p]

United we stand divided we fall

[@vasinvic]

Awesome gesture indeed, although the Medics response was totally sub-standard _ Observing how long it took for even a single medical personal (AT THE FINISH LINE) showed some sort of appearance / even to the extent of being summoned by a runner equally exhausted . Geez!! We have a long way to go

[@sachinbodhe3300]

Never words for this moment 🙄

[@fahid3342]

Why isn't this viral tho

[@joshuapaullim7216]

A noble kind gesture on the part of Cheprot...he could have crossed the finish line first then help afterwards his competitor for there was about 2 meters left to finish the race...Hats off and Baravo to you Mr. Cheprot...

[@Sammker]

It wouldnt evr feel good if your opponent who was way before u just collapsed and u win . What value does that win make , he is just real competitive . And he got millions for the good heart

[@noily8974]

And no one help but one

[@jdhv968]

I don't know why 8 dislikes for this master piece......???

[@electrodynamicorb6548]

[@user-ng3em5pp1w]

Зачем нужны такие длинные забеги? Просто бой на смерть идёт. Жалко спортсменов. А то, что вот так помог финишировать, то это Человеческий поступок. Уважение ему. Но зачем такие мучения?

[@n.herbig7592]

Where the hell were the medics they kept saying they're rushing over but I haven't seen one lol lol

[@lorischacha6368]

Hello! My name is Loris and I'm a producer in Brazil. We are doing an advertising about the changing of mentality and how important is to have empathy and help others when they are most needing. This add will be streaming in a tv channel in two states of Brazil. We are mixing scenes that exemplifies this concept, and this video will be perfect to show that. So, could you give us the formal permission to use it?

[@soiledhalo2296]

Congrats. You've figured out how to live without a heart. 🤮

[@juliuskariuki8896]

Very stupid mind

[@revolveswayyy]

@@soiledhalo2296 it was pretty funny tho, but this was wholesome

[@giuseppesavaglio8136]

As professional athletes go, you want to finish, but you want to finish on your own. As nice as the act was, the runner helping out was not going to win, so yes did a nice thing, but the runner he helped was robbed of simply finishing by his own steam. A better act would have been to stay with him and encourage him to finish with words of encouragement and support sans physically helping him.

[@futuremakerzent]

I'm Crying Laughing Like Ah Mufqkah 🤣🤣🤣🤣. He Tired Like A MFn Runaway,.I can hear him breathing hard az hell like "OhhhShiii,OhhhShiii🤣🤣🤣😭😭😭. I'm Not Bullying But That's Sum Funny Az Shitz Mane.
