She Didn’t Have To Do That 🤯

[0:00]Everybody got confused when this French athlete gave her pole to another competitor, even though it could cost her a placement in the competition. Because during the 2019 women's pole vault in finals in Doha, Swedish pole vaulter Angelica Bengtsson was on great form and clearing heights effortlessly. But then just as she was about to try and break the Swedish national record by jumping over the 4.80m bar, her pole ended up snapping on her last attempt. And even though the rules dictate that an athlete can have another attempt if their equipment ends up failing, she didn't have any spare poles to even try the jump with anymore. But then something unexpected happened, as the French athlete Nino Chapelle loaned her pole to Angelica, even though she was currently ahead of her in the standings. Meaning that she could end up losing a spot on the leaderboard if Angelica managed to make the jump. But yet she still chose to rather lose fair and square than to deny her rival a fair chance. And to everyone's surprise, Angelica actually managed to clear the jump with the borrowed pole, breaking a new Swedish record and moving from 12th to sixth place in the competition, while Mi ended up placing 12th.
