BuzzFeed - Moments like this are what the Olympics are all about. Swiss skier Dario Cologna won the men's cross-country 15km classic event in Sochi on Friday with a time of 38:29. Kai Pfaffenbach / Reuters After crossing the finish line, Cologna collapsed into the snow, which makes sense considering he'd just skied 15km (that's approximately 9.3 miles). Stefan Wermuth / Reuters 28 minutes after his victory, however, Cologna was waiting to congratulate the two last-place finishers as they crossed the finish line. Stefan Wermuth / Reuters Dachhiri Sherpa, Nepal's only athlete competing in the Olympics, finished the race with a time of 55:39 and joined Cologna to wait for the final athlete to cross the finish line.
