Guinea-Bissau's Braima Dabo produced a heart-warming display of sportsmanship as he helped an exhausted Jonathan Busby of Aruba across the line in the 5,000 meters at the World Championships in Doha.


Busby finished in Dabo's arms to huge cheers at the Khalifa International Stadium on Friday before collapsing to the track.

The runner needed medical attention after finishing the race – thanks to the help of Dabo in the final 300m – and was eventually taken away in a wheelchair.

Dabo sacrificed his own race but still ran a personal best of 18 minutes, 10.87 seconds, although Busby was disqualified.

The race, in which Great Britain's Andrew Butchart finished seventh to scrape into the final, was won by Ethiopia's Selemon Barega in a time of 13 minutes, 24.69 seconds.

But for many, it was Dabo who ultimately won with his selfless act.




Some even called for Dabo to be rewarded for his actions.

Kudos To Dabo for giving the world a beautiful moment to cheer for.

Stephen Miller Caught On Camera Letting Out Heavy Sigh As Trump Tries To Justify Iran War

White House Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller was caught on camera letting out a heavy sigh as President Donald Trump spoke at a Memphis Safe Task Force roundtable in Tennessee about his ever-changing justifications for going to war with Iran.

A WSMV 4 Nashville broadcast showed Miller briefly turning his head and letting out a sigh as Trump described Iran’s missile capabilities as “growing so fast” that the U.S. needed to act before it became “virtually impossible to stop them.” Miller then composed himself and faced forward again toward the president, who was seated at center stage.

Video Of ICE Detaining Sobbing Mom At San Francisco Airport As Her Young Daughter Watched Has People Seeing Red

MAGA Republican President Donald Trump's administration is coming under fire again over White nationalist White House advisor Stephen Miller's immigration guidance.

Campaigning on a promise to deport violent criminals, the Trump administration has instead become the violent (often masked) aggressors that Americans fear. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) employees have repeatedly targeted individuals without warrants or just cause based solely on racial profiling, denied people's constitutional rights, and killed people in their detention centers and on the streets with impunity.
