Title: Anyone just see that
Post by: pappy on August 29, 2004, 10:47:50 AM
During the mens marathon this guy in brazil was in the lead with a decent lead at that 2 gots attacked by some wack job in the crowd.  He was dressed in traditional greek costume an a sign on his back saying something like israel the prophecy is fulfilled lol.  The guy from brazil came back into the race but finished in 3rd.

Italy Gold USA Silver the Brazilian Bronze

I don't think he would have won anyway, he lost by over 2 minutes and that delayed him 10 seconds max

the guy that ran on the race,  this isnt the first time he has done something like this.  A year or 2 ago he ran on the track of a grand prix race.

Funny stuff.  I smell conspiracy, though.  The Republican National Convention is this week, this obviously has something to do with it, but I haven't figured out what, yet.

this is not cool. it's funny when some dude runs on a soccer field and jumps into the net or shit, like in the Euro 2004. Stuff like that you know. But somebody attacking an athlete, and maybe ruining the gold medal for him, this sucks.

3 miles left in a Marathon(26.2 miles) and the Brazilian had a 46 sec lead. Not only was grabbed and forced to curb for 10 secs he was shaking for the rest of the race and came up with cramps in his legs. Don't forget about the energy he wasted trying to free himself. Btw the guy was a crazy Irish priest.

I agree, the man probably would have won the race.  You can't judge what he lost on strictly a time scale, these guys are in a fucking zone and when somebody interferes with that it screws their whole mental focus up.
