The runners almost had a full fledged problem right there. Instead, according to women's judo 70kg bronze winner Edith Bosch (who beat Strikeforce champion Ronda Rousey at the 2008 Olympic Games), the thrower had the problem.

Which roughly translates into "A drunken guest throws a bottle for me on the track! I HAVE BEATEN HIM .... Unbelievable! GVD ... I also missed the 100 m! What a BEEP!"
“A man was arrested inside the Olympic Stadium on suspicion of causing a public nuisance on the evening of Sunday, 5 August,” a Scotland Yard spokesman said.
“The man had been heard to shout abuse and then throw a plastic bottle on to the track immediately prior to the start of the men’s 100m final.
“He remains in custody at an east London police station.”
Edith later told Dutch TV station NOS: "I had seen the man walking around earlier and said to people around me that he was a peculiar bloke. Then he threw that bottle and in my emotion I hit him on the back with the flat of my hand. Then he was scooped up by the security. However, he did make me miss the final, and I am very sad about that."
Edith!
