Did anyone catch the Olympic marathon today? Well this Brazilian runner, who was in first place was about 3 miles from the end of the race, and then suddenly this man, jumps into the street and pushes the runner into the crowd. The runner is held there for about 15 seconds, until the crowd starts to pummel this intruder. It ends up the Brazilian loses his lead, and comes in third place. I think he would have won gold if not for this stupid, stupid man. I hope he goes to jail for a long time. Link
The dude was losing his lead at the time of the attack. No way you can say he definitely deserves a gold.
He had a huge lead, and then had the sh*t scared out of him. He probably thought he was going to be killed. Then he got up and took off running again. That's a gold medal performance.
He was fading, but the guy that did this was an absolute moron. And AGAIN it was religiously motivated... So Sad.... At least this religious idiot was not blowing innocent people up. DD
I heard this guy was an ex-priest, but I didnt know why or how this was religiously motivated. Anyone care to explain?
damn....all those years of training and preparation for this guy....down the drain b/c of some jackass
He did get a sportsmanship award that gets handed out very rarely for graciously accepting the bronze metal without any complaints. I believe the rate of that award being handed out is less than one per olympics. That preist needs to have his head checked out.
I, a casual olympics viewer, demand that whoever won the gold medal give it to this man, the true and deserving winner.
