That was absolutely despicable to watch. Forget about the 10 or so seconds lost, just think about the psychological effects of having to recover from a shock like that...de Lima just wasn't the same after that. I have the utmost respect for de Lima for coming back to get the bronze, especially as enthusiastic as he was while approaching the finish line. It's too bad though because he deserved better.

Granted it's not much of a consolation, but they're giving him an additional medal for sportmanship and being the embodiment of the olympic ideal or something along those lines. I only heard about it through the local news.
