From El Pais:
[Fernández Anaya] 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.
