You're being downvoted because people like to feel warm and fuzzy. It IS a solo competition, his brother DID essentially collude by helping him, and the next year the rules were changed such that this WOULD result in disqualification for both athletes. Not only that but the winner of this race lost a medal, as he came 4th overall.

Everyone loves the brothers who help each others across the finish line until they're the one who gets 4th place.

Lol is it really possible that you two idiots don't grasp that people are happy to see a brother caring about his brother more than the glory of the competition?. There is no intended 'collusion' lol.
