cnn

The Spanish triathlete Diego Mentrida has earned praise for an act of sportsmanship which saw him allow a rival to finish in third place at the end of the competition, after that rival, James Teagle, made a route mistake near the finish line.

Diego Mentrida, who would then get the third place and go to the podium, stopped before the finish line, waited for James Teagle, greeted him and let him cross the finish line first.

Actor Will Smith praised Mentrida on his integrity and sportsmanship.

Race organizers decided to award Diego Mentrida with an honorary third-place finish.

Santander Triathlon Race took place in Spain, on September 12th.
