That was nuts. He was in first with a diminishing lead and was stopped for 10 seconds, but lost the race by over a minute and is protesting that he deserves gold citing psychological issues from the incident.

You see that the US finished with 103 total medals? Now that is incredible

Umm what tackle? The one where the citizens helped him? Not their fault. He ran into the fans while trying to avoid the heckler

He did get pushed into the crowd by the guy...at which point he disappeared amongst the crowd for a few seconds. I don't think he got knocked to the ground, but he definitely got physically shoved.

Ok just to set the record strait. It was mile 23 and he was leading by 45 seconds. The man that tackled him had a previous stunt during a Grand Pre race. He ran out with signs saying some guy sucks.

He had flown in the night before just for the marathon. It didnt matter that it was the Brazilian, he would have done it to anyone who was in first. Good thing the American wasnt in first at that moment. And when he was arrested, I heard he was drunk too. On top of all this, he is an Irish PREIST. I know I couldn't believe it either.

You would think he would be pissed off but he had a big smile on his face for the bronze medal. He also won the Sportsmenship award.
