Abel Mutai, a Kenyan runner, was just a few metres from the finish line. Suddenly, he became (1) bewildered by the signage and stopped, thinking he had completed the race. A Spanish runner, Ivan Fernandez, was right behind him. He noticed the situation and (2) signalled the Kenyan to continue running. However, Mutai could not (3) comprehend the language. Seeing the situation, Fernandez gently (4) nudged Mutai forward, ensuring he crossed the finish line first.
When asked by a journalist why he acted this way, Fernandez said, "If I had taken advantage of the situation, I wouldn't have earned the medal (5) honestly. My mother has always taught me to make choices that I can be proud of."
