Her moment of compassion occurred at the World Athletics Championships Budapest 23, where after securing silver in the women’s 10,000m, Gidey comforted Netherlands’ Sifan Hassan, who had a dramatic fall.
Gidey expressed her empathy, stating, "When people are happy, I’m happy. I feel sad when they’re sad".
