Good People Doing Good Things -- A Trio Of 'Em

Good People Doing Good Things — A Trio Of ‘Em

Well, folks, it’s Wednesday morning again, time for more good people doing good things! A bank with a heart – no joke! Typically, if you pondered a business that was least likely to win an award for altruism, it might be the banking industry.  Banks and bankers are not known for giving or being compassionate.  There is at least one exception, though … Ulster Savings Bank (USB) in upstate New…

A Story of Goodness

The text can’t be copied-pasted, so I’ll re-write it. Its author can’t be found, yet I wanted to offer the gift to you. It’s a running story, after Martin Meijer’s image. “Last month, the Basque (Spanish) athlete Ivan Fernandez Anaya was competing in a cross-country race in Burlada, Navarra (Spain). He was running second, some distance behind the race leader Abel Mutai, bronze medallist at the 3 000 meters steeple-chase in London Olympics. As they entered the finishing straight, he saw the Kenyan runner (the certain winner of the race) mistakenly pull up about ten meters from the finish, thinking he had already crossed the line. Fernandez Anaya quickly caught up with him, but instead of exploiting Mutai’s mistake to speed past and claim an unlikely victory, he stayed behind and, using gestures, guided the Kenyan to the line and let him cross first”.

Very little has been said about this.....On 22 December 2012, Basque athlete Iván Fernández Anaya was competing in a cross-country race in Burlada, Navarre. He was running second, some distance behind race leader Abel Mutai - bronze medalist in the 3,000-meter steeplechase at the London Olympics. As they entered the finishing straight, he saw the Kenyan runner - the certain winner of the race - mistakenly pull up about 10 meters before the finish, thinking he had already crossed the line. Fernández Anaya quickly caught up with him, but instead of exploiting Mutai's mistake to speed past and claim an unlikely victory, he stayed behind and, using gestures, guided the Kenyan to the line and let him cross first. Ivan Fernandez Anaya, a Basque runner of 24 years who is considered an athlete with a big future (champion of Spain of 5,000 meters in promise category two years ago) said after the test: "But even if they had told me that winning would have earned me a place in the Spanish team for the European championships, I wouldn't have done it either. I also think that I have earned more of a name having done what I did than if I had won. And that is very important, because today, with the way things are in all circles, in soccer, in society, in politics, where it seems anything goes, a gesture of honesty goes down well." He said at the beginning: unfortunately, very little has been said of the gesture. And it's a shame. In my opinion, it would be nice to explain to children, so they do not think that sport is only what they see on TV: violent kicks in abundance, posh statements, fingers in the eyes of the enemy ...
