Cyclist Agustin Navarro was coming fourth in the contest in Spain. But as he got close to the finish line, (sudden) he saw that his competitor had suffered a puncture (轮胎上刺破的小孔). Ismael Esteban was running toward the line his bike over his shoulders. Mr. Navarro slowed down and refused (pass) him. Instead, he rode behind Mr. Esteban, (allow) him to win the bronze medal.
The people standing along the way applauded (为……鼓掌) Mr. Navarro's (behave) and cheered the two men as they made it over the finish line — , on foot; the other, on his bike. Mr. Esteban later tried to give prize to Mr. Navarro, but he refused it.
Mr. Navarro (praise) online for his unusual act since then. He told people that he didn't want to win like that. That's the spirit in a sport lies: respect competitors, teammates, (coach) and even themselves.
