Still some "good guys" around

Sportsmanship is seriously underrated.

During the Winter Olympics in Sochi, Swiss cross-country skier Dario Cologna was able to win a gold medal for his home country, collapsing at the finish line.

However, instead of going off to change or rest, Cologna decided to wait 28 minutes for the person that came in last to cross the finish line. The last-place finisher was Roberto Carcelen from Peru, finishing 11 minutes after everyone else had finished. Still, he was greeted by a standing ovation and grabbed Peru's national flag.

Cologna still waited, and ended up shaking Carcelen's hand in one of the cooler moments from the Olympic games.
