Briesmīgi vai varonīgi? Japāņu skrējēja pabeidz savu stafetes distanci, rāpojot ar lauztu kāju

Princeses Ekidenas 41 km garais skrējiens notika oktobra beigās, un tagad nofilmētais video sociālajos tīklos ir sasniedzis visu pasauli.

Ne visi plašajā ir priecīgi par Rei Iidas varonību. Jeb precīzāk – par šādas rīcības slavināšanu. Upurēt sevi un savu veselību komandas labā – vai tas bija tā vērts? Droši vien uz to var atbildēt tikai viens cilvēks – pati Rei Iida!

Japanese Runner Iida Rei crawls to the finish line on bloody knees after leg injury in a marathon, she made it because she refuse to be called quitter, and because of those who count on her.

The "Japanese runner who broke her leg during a relay race & crawled to her partner so the team would be able to continue the race" story is such a nightmare.

Stop encouraging self-destruction for the team. I can’t believe people are celebrating this. #Japan

How about we start by realising this episode shows the complete & systematic abdication of duty of care rather than pretending it’s just a profile in individual courage.
The leg is broken.
Everyone should have realised the race isn’t that bloody important & stopped it. https://t.co/yt7J42ltLQ
