#GoodNews: Stranger Helps Olympic Runner Win Gold Medal

Aug 16, 2021

The Jamaican runner who won the gold medal in the men’s 110 m hurdles almost missed his race! 

He accidentally went to the aquatics arena instead of the track stadium on the day of his race. He didn’t have any money on him, but a woman paid for his taxi. 

He tracked the woman down the next day to repay her and show her his gold medal.
