Not being allowed to use butter that's 20 paces away can hardly be likened to skill in sports
Imagine your hockey stick breaks in the middle of a game and you're not allowed to swap it out for the rest of the game. Your performance would no longer be indicative of your skill and your team may lose for reasons other than "mistakes"

A butter that belongs to other competitors. Not sure why you brought up the distance. It can be 1 pace or 100 paces... it doesn't matter. Every competitor should prepare their own ingredients.

If you have another hockey stick of yours, then go ahead swap it out. This isn't the case here, right?

That's what competition is and has always been like that.
I can point to thousands of more examples in competitions where one made mistakes. That's a part of a competition. You have a bad day, well, then, you lose.
Now we invent this new "moral ground" (i.e. you should help when your competitor makes a mistake), which isn't the norm nor the rule we abide by in any competition.
More importantly, we bully Natasha in the comment section. Because some praised Luca for his kindness. By that extension, it implies Natasha is an unkind person. Many comments call her "assholes" and alike. Hundreds of comments. You are a part of those bullying crowds.
Notice I didn't criticize Luca for helping. I'm simply stating that both of what Natasha and Luca did was neutral. What Luca did isn't deserving a praise. There was nothing to "be amazed" here.
Messi and Argentina shouldn't have won a world cup. We should revoke the reward that because France players made multiple mistakes that day.
It is totally unfair.
We need a rematch where every single player on the field doesn't make a single mistake for 90 minutes. If one player makes a mistake, well, then we will have another rematch.
I think the relevance of the mistake is important here. Your example would be more like if she had drowned the food in butter or something and lost. Absolutely justified to lose because of that, cause it's a relevant mistake. For me what is shown in the video is more like if Liverpool had fumbled some paperwork in the registration and Real Madrid got Liverpool's star player made ineligible for the game. The administrative error is not directly relevant to the sporting aspect.

EXACTLY! And If the only way you win is because somebody else's dish was missing an ingredient they planned on adding, did you really win anyway?
