At times, when competitors compete in any sport, more often than not the sportsmanship takes a back seat. They say, winning the competition is what it is all about. However, it is not the truth always. On Day 4 of the Asian Games 2018, it wasn’t all about winning for Iran’s Wushu competitor Erfan Ahangaraian.
The match was over. The referee had announced the result, and it was Iran’s Erfan who was declared as the winner. India’s Surya Bhanu Pratap Singh was seen limping after the match, probably because of the injury he sustained on his knee during the match.
After their semifinal showdown, which the Iranian Erfan won 2-0, he carried his Indian counterpart on his shoulders and helped him reach the Indian quarters. It was quite a spectacle!
