Runner in the olympics gets tackled by a crazy preacher?

Question

I was wondering where i could find the video of the preacher hiding in the bushes and attacking the runner.

I heard about it but obviously havent seen it yet.

I tried youtube but couldnt find it

Answer 1

The incident you mentioned occurred in Athens four years ago. The guy who was attacked was Brazilian and up 'til that moment he was leading the competition. He ended up third. I never understood why the Brazilian delegates never complained. Try looking up the Marathon for Athens 2004.  

Answer 2
