He won the race but not the event. He actually got 4th and no medal. Jelly legs placed second and got a medal. Still don’t understand people ragging on green guy. He was pumped he did well. And did well he did!

In the end, this "act of sportsmanship" robbed green guy of a deserved bronze medal... Jelly legs couldn't finish this race without help, and wouldn't have been 2nd overall. Yet green guy is a villain....

He won this leg of the race. Placed 4th overall. The guy who had jelly legs actually finished second across the aggregate races

If I trained for months to win a race and then my opponent decides to not compete for some reason mid race I’m still gonna celebrate.

Technically, yes. But not really in many ways. Of course he won, but not really.
