这样的体育精神,对很多人来说,根本不可理解?

 

"Remember this Kenyan runner Abel Mutai who was just a few feet from the finish line, but became confused with the signage and stopped, thinking he had completed the race. A Spanish runner, Ivan Fernandez, was right behind him and, realizing what was happening, started shouting at the Kenyan to continue running. Mutai didn't know Spanish and didn't understand. Realizing what was taking place, Fernandez pushed Mutai to victory.
A journalist asked Ivan, "Why did you do that?" Ivan replied, "My dream is that someday we can have a kind of community life where we push and help each other to win."
The journalist insisted, "But why did you let the Kenyan win?" Ivan replied, "I didn't let him win, he was going to win. The race was his." The journalist insisted again, "But you could have won!" Ivan looked at him and replied, "But what would be the merit of my victory? What would be the honor in that medal? What would my mother think of that?"
Values are passed on from generation to generation. What values are we teaching our children? Let us not teach our kids the wrong ways and means to win. Instead, let us pass on the beauty and humanity of a helping hand. Because honesty and ethics are winning!"

这跟中国早年弘扬的友谊第一,比赛第二的意思差不多,很理想化,但是现实中早就吃不开了 -永远老李- 给 永远老李 发送悄悄话 (134 bytes) () 08/05/2024 postreply 15:45:56

完全不一样。友谊第一是那次乒乓外交,打开国门的情况下的国家策略。这个是诚实,目的不是友谊。 -布兰雅- 给 布兰雅 发送悄悄话 布兰雅 的博客首页 (0 bytes) () 08/05/2024 postreply 16:48:48

中国的“友谊第一,比赛第二”的提法远远早于70年代出的乒乓外交 -永远老李- 给 永远老李 发送悄悄话 (240 bytes) () 08/05/2024 postreply 17:18:23

在我印象里,中国以前很多地方写着“友谊第一比赛第二”“发展体育运动,增强人民体质” -永远老李- 给 永远老李 发送悄悄话 (320 bytes) () 08/06/2024 postreply 05:54:59
