In November 1966, a secondary school in the city of Osh in the former Soviet Union in the Kyrgyz Republic, the annual school sports kicked off, the focus was on the marathon, the women’s competition was going on, and there were very few applicants, only three girls. Such a match referee exceeds the athlete.
On-site observation of many students and the public, three athletes are ready to go, one of the girls is called Otunbayeva, she is medium-sized, slightly thin, is the most powerful of the three students, everyone She has a warm expectation. Many classmates enthusiastically supported her and set a water storage point along the way so that she could replenish energy in time.
Because of the physical strength of the students, the entire schedule was shortened to 8 kilometers, and the distance specified by the international competition was not implemented.
The game started, the three athletes immediately separated the high and low, Otunbayeva is physically strong, far ahead of the other two students, when she ran to 2/3 distance, she has already led the second place more than 100 meters.
When she was about two kilometers away from the finish line, she felt that her physical strength had dropped so badly that her mouth was dry and her feet were heavy like lead. She told herself that she was in a bad state in the second half of the day. One of the later classmates surpassed her, and she took the courage to follow up, but she was still half an arm away from her opponent.
Otunbayeva feels dry and dry. She wants to drink water. Instinctively, a classmate gave her a bottle of water. After she drank a few mouthfuls, she was ready to throw it on the ground. This is also a habit of long-distance runners.
To everyone’s surprise, she gave the bottle of water to the classmate who was running in front of her. Everything happened in an instant. When the classmates exclaimed, the classmate took the water bottle and drank a few mouthfuls and threw it. Into the rice field next to it.

The results of the competition can be imagined. The classmate broke the record of the school marathon due to the timely supplement of nutrition.
The classmates blamed Otunbayeva for not giving the bottle of water to the opponent. It was the bottle of water that saved the opponent.
She said in an interview with the school magazine: I have already felt that I can't do it. I can't help myself. Even if I add water, I can't beat her. I want to help her break the record. I know that this record has not been broken for more than 20 years.
Helping the opponent to win the game, Otunbayeva's behavior in the school a stone provokes a thousand waves, some people say she is stupid, some people say she is kind and generous.
This girl, called Otunbayeva, embarked on a political journey after graduation. She served as the foreign minister of Kyrgyzstan, the leader of the opposition, and led the "Tulip Revolution." Seeing her opponent as a friend, this is her consistent principle of life, which has earned her a good reputation both in the middle of her friends and among her opponents.
In July 2019, there was a riot in Kyrgyzstan. Otunbayeva was in danger of serving as the transitional president of Kyrgyzstan. She became the real head of Kyrgyzstan.
Even if you can't win the game, at least let the person running in front of you break the record. This may be the key to her success.
