	Gelindo Bordin - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Gelindo Bordin (Vicenza, April 2, 1959) is a former Italian athlete, winner of the marathon race at the 1988 Summer Olympics.
		Bordin successfully defended his European marathon title in 1990, becoming the first man to win the title twice, but at the 1991 World Championships in Tokyo, he finished in a disappointing eighth place.
		Bordin attempted to defend his Olympic title at 1992 Summer Olympics in Barcelona, but he strained a groin muscle jumping over a fallen runner just after the halfway mark, and failed to finish.

	Boston.com / Sports / Boston Marathon / 2005
		Gelindo Bordin, of Milan and the training grounds of Pisa, was patient in the 60-degree sunshine, convinced the relentless pace of the runners in front of him by nearly 50 seconds would slow.
		Bordin's was a brilliant and astonishing performance, and even though there were traces of a tailwind puffing out of the southwest, Bordin ran a controlled race to beat the cramped-up Ikangaa (2:09:52) by 1:33.
		So Bordin, who had said he was concerned he'd have problems over the final miles, put down the throttle and became the ninth runner from the European continent and first from Italy to win Boston.

	Bordin Rates Sydney Olympic Marathon Course
		Olympic marathon champion Gelindo Bordin today rated the Sydney 2000 course a very tough one and predicted it would need a clever runner to prevail.
		Whilst rating the Sydney course a tough one, Bordin felt it was still possible the current Olympic marathon record of two hours nine minutes and 21 seconds set by Portugal's Carlos Lopes in Los Angeles in 1984 could be broken.
		Bordin suggested competitors in the Sydney Olympics marathon could consider making a decisive break around Glebe Island Bridge, about three-quarters of the way into the 42 kilometre race.
