Katie Moon and Nina Kennedy decided to share their pole vault gold medal in a touching moment at the World Championships in Budapest.
American Moon and Australia's Kennedy both cleared 4.90m but missed all three attempts at 4.95m after a draining two hours and 10 minutes.
They could have gone to a jump-off but ultimately decided to share the gold.
"It is so beautiful - it really displays what our sport is about," Dame Jessica Ennis-Hill said on BBC TV.
The moment was reminiscent of Qatar's Mutaz Essa Barshim and Italy's Gianmarco Tamberi sharing high jump gold at the delayed 2020 Tokyo Olympics.
What a lovely story... admittedly, it's not the first time this has happened, but it's always pleasing when it does.
Congrats to both of them
