09 When You're Bumped Off Track - Every Day Deserves a Chance (MP3)Vanderlei de Lima. At 5 feet 5, he stands shorter than some fifth graders. His body may be small, but his heart is bigger than the Olympic Stadium of Athens. That's where he received 2004 bronze medal for the marathon. He should have won the gold. The Brazilian was leading the race with only three miles to go when a spectator accosted him. Stunned and shaken, de Lima shook loose and resumed the race. But in the process he lost his rhythm, precious seconds, and his position. But he never lost his joy. Later, crowned with an olive wreath and bejeweled with an unflappable smile, he explained his exhilaration: "It's a festive moment. It is a unique moment. Most athletes never have this moment!"
