Vanderlei Cordeiro de Lima
Vanderlei Cordeiro de Lima (born 11 August 1969 in Cruzeiro do Oeste, Paraná, Brazil) is a former long-distance runner who specialised in marathons. He received international renown after a spectator, laicized Irish priest Neil Horan, attacked him at the 2004 Summer Olympics marathon while he was leading the race at 35 km. Following the incident he fell back from first to third place, winning the bronze medal. He was later awarded the Pierre de Coubertin medal for sportsmanship for that race.
The other highlights of his career were wins at the Tokyo International Marathon and Hamburg Marathon, becoming the regional cross country champion in 1995, and winning the marathon at the Pan American Games twice consecutively in 1999 and 2003.
==Early life==
At the age of eight, de Lima began working with his father as a peasant in farms near his hometown. According to de Lima, the money they made was barely enough to buy rice and beans. He repeatedly says that by struggling to overcome the hardships of his life he was preparing to be a good marathon athlete.
