[buffalobeast13]

Wasn't the guy a priest or something? Either way that was horrible and ruined the race

[caravaggio31]

The pshyco not only ruined Vanderlei's race but Baldini's victory too, because we'll never know if the Italian would make it without the incident. In fact we only think yes or no.

Vanderlei actually was turned in an Olympic icon as Dorando Petri, ironically an Italian as Baldini.

[l29zen12]

DAMN MOTHERFUCKER THIS IRISH MAN

[PhotoshopDesing1]

maldito escoceso irlandesloq sea como va hacer eso a un brasileño a un latino americano aesar de q yo soy peruano nome gustaria q pase eso maldito europeo se creen los mejores pero los latinoamericanos somos mejor q esas kagas E DICHO!

[Dragon7F1]

Vanderlei de Lima was leading, he could have won!

That guy who stopped him is an asshole.

[themaxalvarez]

Being the event it is, running the race this man was running, knowing he was not going to finish first no matter the incident, to me the meaning of this act was close to terrorism. The bravery of this man is amazing. Recognizing also the quality of the winner and runner up, knowing this is an isolated incident of a loser, hoping this guy has no family to ashame, to me in this race Bronze is more than gold !

[KrackowKid]

I wish somebody would just assasinate that bollix Neil Horan. He's a bigger national embarrassment to the Irish then the IMF coming into the country.

[kaliumist]

Baldini was going to catch de Lima anyway...speaking of facts..Baldini's pace in the last kms was the fastest of all the althletes..maybe he would have catch him later..but that was the way..baldini was flying..

[Bastiaanwoudenberg]

@kaliumist

Maybe maybe not, whe can never say because that idiot interupted the poor guy.... so dont make any excuses.

[markius199]

menudo hijo de su madre me lo hace a mi y le mato a puñetazos

[sallatti]

não sei o q é pior:esse filho da puta lunático vestido de irlandês ou a organização que nada fez a respeito do brasileiro.se fosse americano teríamos uma outra corrida,com certeza.

[snowsblinks]

fucking asshole.

completely ruined his chance at the gold and all of the hard work that he had put in for his entire life.

and Britain's got talent put him on after this... fucking disgusting.

Go de Lima !

[GusLeBandit]

Une balle dans la tête.

[mgrosenstein]

These Irish drink too much!

[alipitogen]

@mgrosenstein Which Irish are those you specify?

[mgrosenstein]

@alipitogen The vast majority of them, according to the WHO.

But I don't take it as a demerit. It's just a conjecture about what could be Mr. Horan's problem.

[alipitogen]

@mgrosenstein I'd bet anything he never touches a drop . A great many rurally raised Irish Catholics are fiercely opposed to alcohol. We do have a drinking culture but if you check the statistics of Northern European countries who endure dark, dreary winters you may notice a correlation between dismal climate and alcohol consumption. I am Irish, I drink (usually not to hangover level), and it is a national problem, but our perceived international stereotype is, I feel , nonetheless exaggerated.

[lakerschampions8]

Vanderlei de Lima is my hero

[HFKSJHGJFHGJF]

a typical european reaction,a crazy behaviour and psycho.Vanderlei went down in History.

[digoufmg]

MOTHERFUCKER !!!

[jonastucker1]

they should make that guy run a marathon sometime, chained to a car moving at 8:00 / mile pace

[Maxush]

What happenend to the Irish dude ? Really sad he fucked him up like that.

[3101jimbo]

i dont understand how he got to go on britains got talent, he just wants attention, hes a fuckin freak lol

[hanyzzka]

What an ass destroyed his dream of gold!

[DRUGIFU]

Desgraciado, lo mas indignante es que los policias y la gente no hace nada por ayudarlos, si esto hubiese pasado en America Latina nos tildarian de salvajes, sin embargo aqui lo habriamos reventado a patadas a ese tipo.

De Lima tu has pasado a la historia. Viva Brazil. Viva Sudamerica

[glr123456]

@DRUGIFU

VIVA!

[TamborAtronador]

Lunatic people

[ARQFIN]

que estupido sujeto vestido de irlandes o escoces o que chucha maldito malparido

[jonatam54]

que pena por el atleta y el imbesil que entro le falta que le corten los huevos

[davibulcao84]

Honestamente, eu não sei dizer se Vanderlei Cordeiro venceria se o idiota irlandês não tivesse atrapalhado.

Mas com certeza teria sido uma disputa bem mais difícil, decidida nos últimos metros.

[adamseecbrown]

that guy is the one that he runs on the track on f1

[promarcelo]

Those who REALLY know about road races are those who RUNS the road races. For 2 times, I have waited for the chasers, only to react at the moment of almost been passed. The results were excellent: for the 2 times, I saved energy to left the tired chasers behind.

De Lima was saving energy for the last kilometers. He is a very fast finisher: have you all seen his victory at the Tokyo Marathon? I think you don't know so much about the marathon history...

[carlosjist]

They Robbed!

[Trulyloyale]

An external factor changed the event ?

Yeah in your dreams , 'cos it didn't absolutely , maybe it accelerated a little but Baldini at that point had already won effectively the race with still 7 kms left .

And only Brazilians ( of course they support Da Lima ) or those not Brazilians childishly blind , envious and not very informed tell the bizarre nonsensical joke of DaLima 1st at finish line.

[Trulyloyale]

You think very possible a Da Lima

reaction ?? Well then you really have no idea not only of marathon but also of any agonistic sports competition .

Those who have enough knowledge & competence about marathon and can make fine judgements gave no excessive importance to that incident and they rightly pointed to the true race beyond

apparent occurences.

Baldini's victory was too sad ? Maybe to you 'cos for many was a truly happy & deserved one.

[Trulyloyale]

The world knowing marathon knows the one winner is Baldini , all the rest can say whatever nonsense they like more , they will just stay ridiculous & bizarre nonsenses and nothing else .

[crmonteir11]

How do you possible know that ? are you Nostradamus ? Are you god ? Nobody knows what possible happened if the invader did not attack De Lima. At that point De Lima did not have visual contact with Baldini. I think it's very possible De Lima react. The fact is the we'll never know and Baldini's victory was too sad because a external factor changed the event.

[Trulyloyale]

You don't need to be Nostradamus or even God to follow out marathons in the season and know something about : millions and millions of people do it and a big part of them would'n have bet a penny on Da Lima's victory before the incident looking at how Baldini was making up . About that TV images speak so clear and you can see it by yourself beyond any specific technical explanation by marathon experts commenting live and predicting Baldini was going to win .

[Trulyloyale]

Bizarre Idiocies ! ! Everyone who knows a bit of marathon knows so well that Baldini was in plain forcing and he was producing his famous tremendous finish and he was in total contro of Da Lima.

When the incident happened Baldini had already reduced his disavantage to 22 secs with still 7 kms left.

No way, Baldini would have won by miles

those years he was the best marathon runner in the world.

Don't spell out bs if you have no idea of what u r talking about ...!

[Leohanks]

Esse era o ouro que ninguém mais esperava. Para os brasileiros, os jogos olímpicos terminaram no vôlei de domingo, e depois disso, foi só esperar a festa de encerramento. Foi uma surpresa ver o Vanderlei em primeiro, e se não fosse por esse idiota irlandês, teríamos ganhado a medalha de ouro e este seria o momento mais importante de nossa história esportiva.

[Fabregasanddagunners]

When you lose your rhythm that's it, it's extremely hard to recover. That Irish twat ruined it for him, was interrupting Grand Prixs not enough for him? Lock the bastard up I say and give this guy gold, we all know Lima would've won it by a country mile had it not been for that controversial incident :l

[amosis2000]

this newager gay must die...is the time that all of this boring person go to crematory.

[epd20]

Baldini already took 18s on him in the 5km before. The brasilian wouldn't probably have win anyway. That said, what a pity to see that dick...

[CRAIGP1992]

imagine runnin 26 miles for that fucking dick to ruin it for you

Neil Horan....you are a wanker

[sprintbwoy0501]

what a prick, a few minutes away from the ultimate sporting achievment and that irish twat ruined it

[sarahowes]

I'm brazilian, and this Irish man made my country cry...

[KDmami]

I'm peruvian and also made me cry, but truly, the world knows Vanderlei was and is the winner.

[BeatlesRRock]

What an idiot, this man has trained all his life to reach the goal he was just minutes away from. I'm very ashamed to be Irish at this moment

[PhatAmbassadorII]

This is the only time anything interesting has happened in the history of televised marathons.

[alexparaclitoo]

Wanderlei é o melhor!!

[rameltonlad]

makes u proud to be irish dont it just lol

[rathkeale27]

britans got talent. he was on it sathurday. sad bastard. ashamed to say he is irish

[erlcom]

This makes me really pist off! I gets totally out of rythm...i think i got third in the end...probably won if this had not happend...! FUCK FUCK FUCK!!

[scrateismyword]

He's a sad bastard

[salvasirignano]

They should have taken him around the corner after that and put a couple of bullets in his legs.

[marciomamachado]

Europa fede.

[kkbighoselovely]

Ta se 'Stone Mad'!!

[keithmcgrath]

Niel is stone mad!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! and he was on Britains got talent last night

[jucanopelo]

wanderlei cordeiro,mais q um vencedor,eh um heroi bresileiro!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!!!!!!!!alguem duvida disso?obrigado por ser brasileiro,valeu wanderlei................

[chalkie214]

i live 5 minutes from him

[scotlandr]

Horan's a capital prick!!!, seriously if i was an athlete competing in this marathon, who has to train for fucking years for being in the olympics, and gets stopped by a fucking cunt like horan. I would with all my strengh that i would have and smack him on the ground and just jogg on, he was going to get brazil its first gold medal until that Horan wankstain stopped him, ARGH!!!!. Apparently he did this to try to spread the awareness of the imminent second coming of jebus...WTF?!

[KonstantinosXXL]

FUCK YOU HORAN !!!!!!!!!!!

[jegspillerpiano]

the fucking idiot. what was his point? attacking a dedicated athlete who has trained for years dreaming of this race which is the most important day of his life.

[wolfdog45]

you think that was a stupid thing for him to do? the dipshit already had a file for standing in the middle of a british indy 500 race, some should have hit the wanker.

[Evanz450]

british indy 500 race?...WTF i think you mean F1 ;)

[CrustPunk668]

@jegspillerpiano I agree fully, that guy is a Idiot.

[phoneix91]

lima should have won. that dumb ass irish priest dumb fuck

[racketer]

he would of gotten caught anyway

[phoneix91]

they should have fucking killed that motherfucker that tackled that brazillian dude that SHOULD have won. Someone should kill that irish motherfucker.

[Tripuma]

Cornelius Horan, agarra tu puta biblia y metetela por el culo

[guilherme2087]

melhor de tudo isso foi a atitude do wanderley q ficou muito feliz com o bronze...mais vale a humildade do que qlq ouro !!

[JLoso1]

just moved new area

funny video lets chat T3

[Brazucamilo]

nossa eu tinha arrebentado ele todinho nunca mais ele ia conseguir estragra a vida de ninguem . filho da puta .vai pro inferno.

[azsports13]

Bronze and Pierre De Couperin metal is more than gold. He is the best because of the Pierre De Coupertin metal, and If this didnt happen, he would have got gold.

[mikeyboy2810]

wot a prick!

[rafaenery]

padre fila da puta!

[littleman9996]

did lima win?

[ApianoNeto]

No... he reached third place

[marto214]

@littleman9996 no, he got third...

[cool1522]

the crazy man who stoped the athlete was irish

[sweeneybroz38]

AND???? it wudnt hav made a differance wat country he is from he wud still b a prick

[ItheCapo]

is the IDIOT of Silverstone 2003!!

FUCK OFF!!

[Zurzi]

Neil Horan is my uncle, it was a mistake. he was only running to 7/11 shop and just bumped into the marathon runner by mistake. big misunderstanding

[Laurenkaseydawn]

highly doubt that was a mistake. if it were a mistake he woulda stood back when he ran into the runner and not kept pushing him into the crowd.

[creatyve]

lmao Zurzi that's the lamest excuse ever. I suppose he was running to the 7/11 on the other side of the track too in Silverstone, hmm?

[f1baker]

That priest Bastard!!!!! why did he obstruct that brazilian lima? what was his problem? he should go to a mental institution!!!!!

[chadmw45]

He is a genius and only in time will we be able to fully understand it.

[miler726]

I understand his intentions, but my god, why would you do something like this?

[mattfreeride]

why has this twat not had his head kicked in yet?

[EJ25RUN]

They should put that hell sent shit stain on a stake and have a world feed as his face is ripped apart by an angry badger. The that runner should be allowed to burn the remains.

[bojangles03]

I thought he was going to show up this year in Bejing and mess things up again! He makes us Irish look bad.

[ernest72]

No way he would succeded in Bejing becoz the security was so tight that even those terrorists was no where to be seen! It's pity that this psycho got away with it! London 2012beware!

[JFB33]

Did you see his latest appearance on Friday? I saw him on BBC Breakfast in the background at that Knief Crime March in london.

[kbplaya33]

this is horible they should have gave him the gold anyway

[leprechaz]

he speaks "qu'est que c'est passé" : means what just happened

[jace89]

HE SHOULD OF PUNCH HIM IN THE FACE.

[stefan2494]

what does "keski se passe" (or something like that mean? the commentator keeps saying it!

[AlanSmitheeman]

He's saying "what's happening?" or "what happened?" and his colleague says "J'en sais pas" which means "I don't know".

[stefan2494]

thx

[gted18]

FILHO DA PUTA!!! Acho que ficar perdendo tempo odiando pessoas eh algo desnecessário. MAS ESSE CARA EH UM FILHO DA PUTA! NÃO HÁ COMO NÃO ODIA-LO!

[Trulyloyale]

see you again when you will be grown enough

to properly debate .

[Subiromba]

I understand your point, Baldini was already faster than Wanderlei, and PROBABLY would have won anyway, but, it's a FACT that Wanderlei was highly affected by the irish: he could have some trick or holding something for the final kilometers. We would never know what could have happened because we can't predict things (you can't assure Baldini would have won without the irish entrance), but it's a FACT that this marathon was a shame for everyone involved.

[baptista42]

vanderlei c de lima deveria ser agraciado com a medalha de ouro, por fair play. Ele não contestou o resultado, e certamente ganharia a maratona se esse irlandês de merda não tivesse interferido.

[Titan124]

Wow, I though #1234 was someone who ran onto the course and was running the marathon unauthorized because of his number, lol.

[Bucklund]

I remember this. Was very sad that someones lifetime ambition was ruined by some burnt out religious cretin. Hope he was sectioned afterwards.

[PeteTheRock2002]

Well, de Lima did win the bronze, and was awarded a good sportsmanship award. If I saw that, I'd get a kick to what was hidden under the kilt. Let him feel the pain of interfering, himself. Would you do the same?

[TheFunicator]

I wish I could find the guy right now and kick the shit out of him.

[KaiserTota]

The greek guy who helped him was received as a hero when he went to Brazil on invite from the Brazilian Olympic Comittee.

[debugator]

Filha da puta, segurança de merda.

[kayapofc]

Brazil Forever

[bugs1yb1ins]

What a fuckhead.

[lorysss93]

baldini 6 fantastico

vincevi lo stss

[bru222]

esse velho irlandes é um filho da puta.. tem que dar um cacete nele!!

[Trulyloyale]

A pathetic ignorant child brain is hurted by the truth on here , then I repeat this holy truth : at the moment the intruder made his job , Baldini was in full progress and making his tremendous & well known marathon finish and he had reduced his disavantage from 1 min 40 secs to only 22 secs with still 7 kms left .

So no doubt at all Baldini had won the gold

and deserved it as 2004 strongest marathon runner of the world .

This is the only one TRUE FACT, all the rest

only rubbish & garbage.

[pitmie]

You're talking like you know everything that no one knows. The fact is de Lima's progress was massively & significantly affected after that incident, lost his rithym & lost about 20sec+. Baldini was catching up but who knows what would be the outcome had the incident doesn't take place.

[Trulyloyale]

YOU are talking about something you really have no idea about. EVERYBODY knowing a bit of marathon and being enough competent of run

agreed with Da Lima having yet lost from superior Baldini , his advantage from 1:48 had been reduced to 22 secs before ( and not after, just watch the video instead of saying ridiculous nonsenses ) the accident.

Baldini's progress was massively & significantly increasing at marathon leading , while Da Lima's action had already

exhausted .

[Trulyloyale]

Just watch the video and realize what comes out from : wihouth the accident Balidni could have catched the brazilian 1km after, but the final result would have not changed .

Find better arguments than trying to change true facts to not accept Baldini's right & deserved victory .

[MEYERNET]

Shut up cock sucker!

[Trulyloyale]

so YOU are the child brain hurted by the truth MEYERNET ?? :) XDDD

[pitmie]

Yeah...yeah..ya rite. Ok you win, your Baldini is the best, better than Usain Bolt or Michael Phelps etc. Satisfied?

[MKav930]

How can you compare Bolt and Phelps to Baldinia anyway? Phelps is swimming and Bolt is a sprinter which are completely different than running a marathon. Whoever compares those 3 is a moron.

[pitmie]

I know that, damn it! By the way i was just kidding with trueloyale for god's sake. Even my little brother knows that usain & phelps aren't in the same dicipline with baldini.

[pitmie]

Plus, generally they're all sportsmen & sportsman of the year award does compare every great sportsman's respective achievements no matter what sports they're in.

[MKav930]

That may be true, but achievements is one thing. There is a big difference in the events. Phelps had to achieve his record 8 golds in swimming, Usain in sprints, and Baldini in distance. The competition in all of those is quite different.

[pitmie]

Yes the competitions they're in are totally different, everyone knows that. Thing is i was just kidding with trulyloyale, & you took it serious out of nowhere.

[MKav930]

You acted as though YOU were serious and gave no signs as to kidding around so don't tell me I'm being the serious one. I just thought your comment about how Usain, Baldini, and Phelps can be compared was stupid.

[pitmie]

I was serious? Let me quote it again, "Yeah...yeah..ya rite. Ok you win, your Baldini is the best, better than Usain Bolt or Michael Phelps etc. Satisfied?". Does that sound serious to you? Psycho.

[MKav930]

You were serious, bud. I read through all the comments you posted, and it didn't sound like you were having fun or kidding around at all. Psycho? Lol, is that supposed to be an insult or something? If so, then I suggest you try again. Better yet, put your foot in your mouth and don't reply at all.

[pitmie]

I don't know what the f**k is your problem. Total retard. I think everyone knows i was just kidding, that's why nobody bothers to reply that comment i made except you, came out of nowhere & try to act clever. Don't waste my time anymore, enough!

[MKav930]

Nobody bothered to reply because they were dying of laughter at how much of a pathetic loser you are. You're the one wasting your own time by reading and replying, and you are obviously getting your feelings hurt by swearing, calling me stupid names, and using an exclamation mark(GASP! Not the exclamation mark!)to show actually care about what I'm typing. I voiced my opinion on a stupid comment and you're whining about it like a child. Grow up, lol.

[cayuya81]

le corto la fueza que idiota ese irlandes de mierda pobre corredor.

[srorienteer]

this makes me cry. thats a life objetif ruined. that guy deserves torture.

[nacht98]

fuking greek this is not possible in the olympics!!! How come poor guy, he was leeding!!!

[MonjeCelta]

pinche irlandes de mierda, q se meta su iglesia por el culo

yo soy catolico pero esto me enferma, los pendejos fanaticos y mas si un pendejo te caga la carrera de toda tu vida.

MALDITO DEGENERADO DE MIERDA OJALA TE TUVIERA AKI PARA DESMADRARTE LA PINCHE CARA A PUNTA DE MADREASOS PENDEJO DE MIERDA

[ww1313]

i'd have killed that guy?

is it possible to file a petition to get gold?? thats just not fair

[iracem34]

ciao vanderlei lima ,solo Dio puo perdonare quelo coglione ---

ma tu 6 sttato grande L'oro era gia tuo .

[bryemycaz]

This total Tosser was also running down the track at Silverstone in 2003 at the British Grand Prix with cars doing 150mph straight at him.

[Trulyloyale]

He should have only dreamed about winning the gold !

Before that accident Baldini had reduced the disavantage to only 22secs with still 7 km left and he was increasing more & more his running action !

No way , that year Baldini was the strongest of the world and he was predicted by the experts as olympic gold medal, so he would have got a confortable 1st place the same.

[fabiomedeiros1974]

Maybe. We will NEVER know.

[HUSTLAMTY]

FUCKIN´GAY SCOTCH.!!

[marcelscheisse]

what a bastard. this is one of the best examples ever seen of what the concept imbecil means (in the case of the stupid who interrupts the rythm of the brazilian athlete. and in the case of vanderlei de lima, you can understand what bravery means.

[alfaceandrice]

You can see that he felt it, he should win a Gold medal.

[dwilliams02]

That's so terrible. You could tell how much it affected him too. When you're in that kind of running pace and you get forced to stop like that it's SO difficult to ramp it up again. You can tell right away that he's not able to find the pace again. I'm very proud of him that he was able to still be a good sport about it.

[pteleos]

poor athlete
