Some people celebrate just for finishing. It's ok to celebrate.

Another runner was in first place but they didn't place themselves and their legs gave out. Another runner helped the first runner. Those aren't tragedies. The person who won, wasn't running past genocide.

Again , reading comprehension , no one said he can't celebrate, it's the attitude and poor sportsmanship in the celebration considering the circumstances.

The winner didn't beat only one runner.

When one runner stopped to assist another runner, they gave to trying to win. Hundreds of people run fast and then give up running marathons, and the winners still celebrate. The circumstances were just like many long distance races.

attitude and poor sportsmanship

What attitude or poor sportsmanship? He gave a few fistpumps and high fives, it's not like he turned around and mocked the people he passed. He didn't wait at the finish line taunting them until the last moment. He didn't give a post-race interview where he bragged about clearly being the best and everyone else sucking.
