Almost a fairy tale took place in Tokyo at the Olympics a few days ago, it definitely deserves attention even now. Jamaican 110-meter hurdles champion Hansle Parchment ran for the gold medal, but threatened not to compete at all. Before the semifinal run, he got the bus wrong and instead of going to the stadium, he went to the Olympic swimming pool. He was rescued by one of the volunteers who broke the protocol and helped him get to the right place. He then sought her out to thank her.

The whole world is now moved by the story of the 110-hurdles Olympic champion, Jamaican Hansle Parchment, who shared a video on social media telling the pains that accompanied him before the triumph, and most importantly set out to find a volunteer to fight for his gold.
Before its semi-final start, Parchment boarded the wrong bus, which took him to the swimming pool instead of the Olympic stadium. Time passed and the distance was great. By the time he took the next bus to the right place, it would be after the race.
At the Olympics, Jamaican hurdler @ParchmentHansle accidentally showed up to the wrong venue for his race.
A young woman gave him taxi money to get to the right stadium.
He won gold.
Then, he tracked down the woman to say thank you.

Desperate, he sought the help he received from one of the volunteers, who did not hesitate, and despite violating the coronavirus protocol, lent him money for a taxi that took him to the stadium where the Jamaican sprinter ran the second fastest semifinal time behind Grant Holloway from the USA and went to final.
Two days later, the roles were reversed and Parchment defeated the American to win the most precious metal. However, the Jamaican did not forget that if it was not for the volunteer, he would not have won the medal at all, so he set out to look for it.
And he did find her, she was thrilled only to see the sprinter again. He then showed her his medal and gave her a T-shirt and also returned the borrowed money. Video on the networks caused an avalanche of emotions. The gentlemen probably haven’t died out yet.
