Character and ethics at the Olympics. After having their races cut short, Isaiah Jewett and Nijel Amos showed the ultimate sportsmanship and finished the race together.

Character and ethics demonstrated at the Olympics.

“Kanoa Igarashi of Japan was disappointed when he lost to Brazilian Italo Ferreira in their sport’s Olympic debut.

He lost his chance at gold on the beach he grew up surfing.

The Japanese-American surfer could have stewed in silence, but he instead deployed his knowledge of Portuguese, helping to translate a press conference question for Ferreira on the world stage.” AP Newswire
