Brazilian Attacked During Men's Marathon
The Canadian was merely a distraction, while this guy got physical with the athlete.
Quote:ATHENS, Greece Aug. 29, 2004 â The defrocked Irish priest who bolted from the crowd and tackled the marathon leader about three miles from the finish Sunday has been arrested before for disrupting sporting events.
Cornelius Horan, 57, was wearing a green beret, a red kilt and knee-high green socks when he attacked Brazilian runner Vanderlei Lima, knocking him into the crowd. Lima was able to recover and finish, but had to settle for the bronze medal.
The Canadian was merely a distraction, while this guy got physical with the athlete.
