On this occasion, both the athletes decided to share the gold medal by refusing to play any more games to become the sole winner of the gold medal.


While mental health was the topic of discussion at this year's Olympics, extraordinary events of sympathy made the Games everlasting.


The best athletes from all over the world were seen showing sympathy and warmth to each other. They were seen rejoicing with others, encouraging each other and wiping away tears of frustration.


On Sunday, a match between Italy's Guyanmarco Tambari and Qatar's Moataz Barsham ended in a draw, but the victory could not be determined.

In the high jump, the competition between the two was tied by jumping 2.37 meters. The two were given a new target of 2.39 meters to win, which they could not cross despite three attempts. The two could have continued to compete until the winner was determined, but they decided to share the gold medal.

"I deserved a gold medal for what I did. He (Gianmarco Tambari) did the same. So, I know he deserves a gold medal," said Qatar's Muataz Bersham. But this is an opportunity to do more than just play, that's what we want to convey to our next generation. "

After the decision to share the medal, the two players shook hands and Tambari jumped up and hugged Mutaz. "Sharing victory with a friend has its own beauty. It's a magical feeling," Tambury said.

Another such incident occurred on this track when Asia Joyet of the United States and Najeel Amos of Botswana collided and fell during the race. Instead of being angry with each other, the two helped each other get up and crossed the finish line holding hands.

Human sympathy has found a large place in the delayed Olympic Games due to the global outbreak of the corona virus. The experience of being away from other human beings during an epidemic has increased the desire of most people to live together.
