Did the guy do anything?Brazilian crowd booing Lavillenie at the medal ceremony. . What's wrong with them?
Just brainless idiots. Some in every country.Brazilian crowd booing Lavillenie at the medal ceremony. . What's wrong with them?
He compared the crowd to nazi germany. It was huge news today here, so he got booed.Just read they heavily booed him while trying to compete for gold as well. The poor guy, he even cried during the ceremony.
fecking dipshits.
So first he got booed during the competition, then he got booed because he made a bad booing comparison.He compared the crowd to nazi germany. It was huge news today here, so he got booed.
No, no, after he made the comparison some Brazilians jumped in a time machine so they could boo him in the competition.So first he got booed during the competition, then he got booed because he made a bad booing comparison.
That went well for me didn't it . Hope you lot beat Argentinia!Who's the favourite for tonight's hockey game? I must admit I don't follow hockey at all outside of the Olympics but our team has been performing very well this time. The Netherlands are a hockey nation though so I reckon you're still the better team? I hope it's going to be an exciting game.
He kind of did, he looked surprised and applauded Lavillenie.They're morons who don't realise booing has no place at the Olympics. I bet half these prats have never seen the Olympics before.
And the Brazilian guy Lavillenie was competing against didn't even ask the crowd to quieten down.
No white text?Whats wrong with boos?
Nope.No white text?
You must be one of those savages that go on their phone at the cinemaNope.
In a discipline that requires concentration, that's vile.Booing during a medal ceremony is just plain stupid, just like booing during a minute of silence.
Booing an athlete if you don't support him however is not a big problem in my opinion. It's not "gentlemanlike" but everyone competing on the biggest stage should be able to cope with abit of hate. I didn't have a problem with the way Hope Solo was treated for example, we see (and hear) it every week in the stadia.

Yeah I agree with this. Booing during actual competition is fair game. I don't see reason for any outrage on that count.Booing during a medal ceremony is just plain stupid, just like booing during a minute of silence.

That's true. I only gave my general opinion. I should have specified that it's also not ok in a discipline like that.In a discipline that requires concentration, that's vile.
I was talking about during the event, not the medal ceremony. It was mentioned in commentary too.He kind of did, he looked surprised and applauded Lavillenie.
He was deeply concentrated on his own performance, he was in a bubble.I was talking about during the event, not the medal ceremony. It was mentioned in commentary too.
Farah in the 5000m is favourite for gold.Great Britons, can you help me figure out what medals are you in for in the remaining competitions? I see you're in for a sure gold in sailing, have couple of boxers in semifinals, and one badminton player in QFs. Anywhere else you see some medal (gold especially) takers?
Interested about Germans, Russians, Chinese and Americans too...

Seems over-optimistic - especially the bolded.From BBC site GB are should get gold in the 470 Sailing with Hannah Mills and Saskia Clark, with favorites for gold Nicola Adams (boxing), Mo Farah (5,000m), Tom Daley (10m diving), Alistair Brownlee (triathlon), Helen Jenkins and Vicky Holland (triathlon), Jade Jones and Bianca Walkden (taekwondo), the women's hockey team, men's 4x100m men's relay team, Liam Phillips (BMX), Holly Bradshaw (pole vault), Jamie Cooke (modern pentathlon), and Charley Hull (golf).
I hope so too, but unfortunately even if he does, he's likely to go back down to 8.Hopefully come Sunday Bolt will also have nine.
