That ran out and grabbed one of the marathon runners who was winning the race in the olympics. And that wasn't the first time he did something silly. I don't know if it affected the outcome or not but that guy needs to be watched from now on. He is dangerous.

They should throw him in jail for a year or more for that. Can you imagine what it must feel like to work your whole life for something and some nut case with nothing to lose ruins it for you? What a scum bag that guy is.:mad:

A guy from Brazil was winning the marathon by 40 seconds with 3 miles to go and some guy jumped out of the crowd and tackled him into the crowd. He ended up third overall.

It was pretty shocking to watch... the crowd managed to help the Brazilian get back to the race... but it would have been interesting to see what they did to that dude before the police got him...

What ever happend to caining? You know, like that guy in Singapore that spray painted all those cars. Didn't they cain him like 9 times or something? Sounds like a fitting punishment.

Word out of Athens today is that he was fined and given probation. As long as he gets in no further trouble in Greece he will do not jail time. (He is going back home to England anyway)

Maybe the next time he tries this at a car race he can get his just reward.
