Integrity: Losing a Race Made Him Famous - Ivan Fernandez, Spanish Long-Distance Runner 

Integrity:
Integrity is the steadfast adherence to moral and ethical principles, even when faced with challenges or temptations to compromise. It involves consistently acting in accordance with one's values and beliefs, regardless of external pressures or personal gain. Demonstrating integrity fosters trust, respect, and credibility in both personal and professional relationships.
When long-distance runner Ivan Fernandez was given the opportunity to pass Kenyan runner Abel Mutai at the end of a race because Abel had misunderstood where the finish line was, rather than exploit Abel's mistake and take the first place honors, Ivan chose to point Abel forward and let Abel cross the finish line first.
Iván's gesture of kindness transcended the boundaries of sport, leaving an indelible mark on millions who have since heard his story.
