Fairness in sports: a triathlon hero moment in Barcelona!

On December 10, 2024, pastors report on moving experiences in Advent. Among them is Matthias Blaha, pastor of St. Anton in Ingolstadt. In his contribution, he emphasizes the heroic gesture of a triathlete in Barcelona, which is not only important in sports, but also in life. In an exciting race for third place, the Briton James noticed that he had overlooked a crucial curve and ran in the wrong direction. At that moment he saw his competitor Diego, who was already on the right track. Surprisingly, Diego stopped to enable James to overtake him. This sporting fairness ultimately led James to reach third place, while Diego, who finished fourth, received the same prize money for his noble deed. This story recalls that humanity is also very important in competitions, as reported in the article by Regensburg ( Bishopric of Regensburg ).

Another point is important the Mount Olivet Cemetery in Nestor, California, which has been a place of commemoration since its foundation in 1899 by Hollis M. Peavey. Although the cemetery tells a picturesque story and is considered one of the smallest cemeteries in Southern California, it is badly affected by vandalism. Access to this private site is limited because the gate is closed and many gravestones have been damaged. The non -profit Mount Olivet Cemetery Association was founded in 1954 and is committed to preserving the cemetery. Different resources, including gravine writings and images, are available online to raise awareness of this historical place. The latest reports on the cleaning of the cemetery by volunteers underline the constant commitment to the preservation of memories of the deceased, as was found by Kusi, a regional news provider ( SSC Graveyard Rabbit ).
