yeah that was crazy. i was watching the event live when it happened. he had a lead of like 50 secs. he was just killing it. then they went to commercial break, and when they came back that dumbass had apparently come on to the track and pushed him off. i felt so bad for the brazilian...he was running a wicked race.

The guy was dressed up as an Irish Priest!! I guess he was saying that Christ was coming or some crazy shit like that. He has to go in for physiatric assesment!!

I feel bad for the Brazilian, really bad for him actually, but when he crossed the finish line, he looked so overjoyed with just winning the Bronze medal, but still he deserved the Gold.

they should definately give him a 2nd gold.. esp. with 5 km to go like that .. he did get a sportsmanship award.. total bigUPS to him!
