Cash2Burn Posted August 29, 2004 Share Posted August 29, 2004 I agree, but to be honest, de Lima's post-race comments were the most positive / refreshing thing I've seen over the past two weeks. Why do I think this guy is going to be more famous/celebrated than Paul Hamm ever could hope to be. "I'm not going to cry forever about the incident, although it broke my concentration," de Lima said, "but I managed to finish and the bronze medal in such a difficult marathon is also a great achievement." The International Olympic Committee said it would present de Lima with its Pierre de Coubertin medal in recognition of his "exceptional demonstration of fair play and Olympic values." "I think the Olympic spirit prevailed and I prevailed. I was able to show that determination wins races," de Lima said after receiving his bronze medal at the Olympics' closing ceremony. "What prevailed here was the Olympic spirit. Never mind the result of the appeal. I'm very happy to have won this medal." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
