We will never know how the race would have turned out. No one can say the Italian didn't deserve gold. Lima getting the sportsmanship award and the manner in which he handled the incident will ensure that the race will not be forgotten any time soon.
But now that the olympics are over.... BRING ON THE WORLD CUP!!! HOCKEY!!!

what happend?
The Brazilian runner for the marathon was in first place and had quite a lead on the rest. A nutcase came out of the crowd and attacked him. Spectators jumped up to his rescue, but threw him off his rhythm. He said himself that we don't know what would have happened, but he still won the bronze.
The Olympic Committee awarded him a special award on sportsmanship.
