The men's marathon event at the 2004 Summer Olympics took place in August 29, 2004 in the streets of Athens, Greece. The streets were recently painted for the event, which provided an excellent condition of the road surface for the athletes, along with the excellent climate of that day.
As with previous Olympics, the marathon marked the end of the 2004 Summer Olympics.
[edit] Incident
The event was marked by an incident in which Cornelius Horan, an Irish protester pushed Vanderlei de Lima of Brazil into the crowds while de Lima was leading the event on the last 10 kilometers. De Lima lost about 15 to 20 seconds of his running time because of the interruption, and finished third in the event with a time of 2:12:11 — winning the bronze medal. It is still to be seen if de Lima has any rights whatsoever to appeal for a time change or a medal reconsideration to the International Olympic Committee; however, he was awarded the special Pierre de Coubertin Medal for sportsmanship in addition to his bronze. The protester had a sign on his back that read "The Grand Prix Priest. Israel Fulfilment of Prophecy Says The Bible. The Second Coming is Near."
This incident had been preceded by a dog also interfering with the race; the dog, which escaped from the crowd and got in front of de Lima, was quickly subdued by two larger, security dogs and run off the field.
