That's wonderful,that they helped, but you don't get to say you"finished a race" if someone carries you part of the way, and in fact the person carrying him is guilty of interfering with another contestant. Before you haters get your dander up, notice that I said it's wonderful what was done. I'm just giving you the normal rules for a race. The gesture was more important than the rules of the race.
So, gentlemen start your anger engines.
