Cool! Ya think it meant just a wee bit to him to get across that finish line.

i can't believe those guys ran past him and left him like that!  I hope they're ashamed of themselves.

I was there!! I didn't see this guy, but I visited the medical tent (I crashed on the bike and they were taking care of my wounds after I finished) for the first time in any tri I did and I couldn't believe how people end up... Either I don't push myself very hard or people go nuts beyond their limits.

Btw, people are crazy fast over there...

Isn't it a DQ if they help him?

plus it looked like when the volunteers tried to help that he waived them off - the problem is we only see the last 100m or so - who knows what happens prior to that - people may have tried to help him etc

No.  It's technically a DQ if you get outside assistance (like the people who came running from the line)

Although it says something about someone if they would leave someone like that for fear of DQ if that was their (incorrect) reasoning

to be fair, ALL of these people are at the very end, NONE of them have brains that are telling them anything other than, You are there! They are drinking it in, to come running around the corner with the crowd cheering and bright lights, how many of them had brains that immediately said, look, a guy struggling. then when their brain processed it, the brain then had to think, can I help him? does he need my help? does he want my help? that's an awful lot for the brain to process when it is already exhausted and focused on nothing but the finish line. They don't deserve to be shamed for their brains being fried - how do you know they didn't turn around and try to go help? or tell the volunteers, that guy needs help?
