Do you think that the Olympics are all about winning? Not always.Here's one thing that 1 during the 2006 Winter Games.It shows the true Olympic spirit.
In the middle of a huge race,the Norwegian crosscountry skiing coach did something really 2 .But it had 3 to do with helping his team win a medal.
It was the twoperson women's relay race.The Canadians and the Norwegians were among the hopeful 4 to win.Which team would 5 home the gold?
The 6 was going well for both the Canadians and the women from Norway.Somewhere near the middle of the race,one of the Canadians broke one of her ski poles (滑雪杆).There was no way to 7 now.
8 ,the coach from Norway came,running from the sidelines.He had a ski pole in his hand and passed 9 to the Canadian skier.In the end,the Canadian girls came second,finishing ahead of the Norwegians.
In Norway,some people were 10 with their coach at first.Then,people started to 11 what the coach had really done.He could have stood there watching as the Canadians lost.12 he decided to help.To him,it was the right thing to do.
Later,the coach was treated 13 a hero.People understood that his actions were those of a 14 sportsman.He put the spirit of 15 ahead of the desire to win at all costs.That's the Olympic spirit.
