Here in Brazil we were shocked to see a brazilian leading the marathon and being attacked by a crazy irishman ! Really sad ! Who knows how much that might have affected him and his losing gold. I hope the crowd gave that wacko a good beating up… if he didn’t come out of it at least badly bruised I won’t be happy enough. Sick asshole. ---
