		Kossivas commented that his idea when he went to watch the race was also to cheer on Vanderlei de Lima, since "he had been leading for quite some time and everything indicated that he would win the marathon".
		Following the ceremony, on an interview, Kossivas entertained the small audience of reporters when he offered to go to Beijing 2008 and protect Vanderlei de Lima from any harm that might come his way.
		Kossivas was hoping that the repercussions of his visit to Brazil will attract some attention in his native Greece, since his pivotal participation in the history of that marathon went virtually unnoticed back home.
