I watched that race with my heart in my throat. Peres Jepchirchir and Joyciline Jepkosgei were pushing each other at a crazy pace — the kind where every breath looks borrowed. You could almost feel the pain through the screen. Then it happened at the water station. Peres grabbed her bottle. Joyciline, right beside her, missed hers. In a race where every second is life or death… Peres turned and gave Joyciline her own water. I honestly froze. That wasn’t strategy. That was pure humanity. She chose kindness over an edge. Not because she had to — but because she could. In that moment, I was reminded that greatness isn’t just about crossing the line first. It’s about how you treat the person running beside you when it would be easier not to. That was elite sportsmanship. Real strength. 🦾 #ValenciaMarathon #Sportsmanship #HumanityFirst #RunWithHeart #RespectTheRace #PeresJepchirchir #JoycilineJepkosgei #JohnKorir #AthleticsKenya
