Baldini crossed the line in 2hr 10min 55sec, Mebrahtom Keflezighi of the United States took the silver medal and De Lima recovered and hung on to win the bronze medal.
The man, apparently wearing traditional Greek dress, ran across the road and pushed a shocked De Lima into the spectators lining the road.
Spectators rushed to pull the man off De Lima and he began running again. Within five minutes he had been caught and passed by Baldini and had slipped back into third place.
