Ten-year-old carries injured friend to race finish

Two friends in Grimsby had their own 'Brownlee brothers' moment when one carried the other across the finish line in a cross country race.

10-year-old Riley Watson was just metres from the end of the challenging run when he collapsed with a stitch.

However, his classmate 10-year-old Julian Otu came to his aid and carried him over the finish line in a move reminiscent of the moment when Alistair Brownlee helped his brother Jonny over the finish line at the Triathlon World Series, sacrificing his own chance of winning.

Julian, who is a School Sports Partnership young ambassador, said: "I'd rather not have won and helped my friend than leave him there."

The touching moment happened during a Year 5 race in an inter-schools cross country event at Weelsby Woods in Grimsby.
