Not everyone runs a marathon, leads most of the way, and has their gold medal hopes dashed by an overzealous religious freak, and still has the guts and strength to finish the competition.
Don't get me wrong, I think the brazilian got screwed, but I think it took a lot of class from the russian, who used to be a very arrogant jerk in his younger years, to behave in that fashion.

I also think poor Paul Hamm showed a lot of class and held up very well with all the controversy.
