What's wrong with him? The german commentator said he was a superstar in turkey, though they talk a lot this olympics and sometimes seem to not even know the rules of the sport they are commentating on.

Apparently last night there was a major scare at JFK airport in New York where people thought there was a shooting and it spread into a big panic and evacuation but it really just started from a misinterpretation of people celebrating Usain Bolt's run wildly.

Boxing has always had the most shady judging, even compared to other sports with judging.

This is the first time I've seen men's indoor volleyball since before the scoring changes. It's so weird watching the receiving team winning maybe 80%-90% of the points.

Volleyball is one of the few sports, where I enjoy women way more then men. Watching just serve->powersmash ->point 40 times in a row is so boring. I prefer at least some ball exchanges here and there...

Went to Copacabana yesterday to watch the women's beach volleybal quarterfinals (german ladies rolled the canadians and the brazillian duo beat the swiss in a gueling 2-1). Now that's a great sport to watch!

Also watched some random men's handball group stage games live (france x serbia and germany x slovenia). The french crowd was especially awesome, pulling out chants all the time and making a lot of noise (I think they were somewhat organized), even though they lost by one goal (could have gotten a tie but missed a penalty with few seconds left).

Overall it's been awesome having the Olympics here. Even met and talked to an olympic gold medalist (british, 4 man rowing event) in the subways by pure chance!

Lavillenie was pretty angry against the crownd, he says there were very harmful and that he has never suffered this in his career, then he compared the crownd to the nazis who booed Jesse Owens and concluded hat Brasil was not worthy to organize such an event.
I didn't see the competition but I don't disagree overall, this is the first time I see such a bad crowd at the olympic, the major thing I will remember of this will be the new cold war and the brainless booing, what a strange and sad atmosphere, London and Pekin were way more joyful and Tokyo should be way better, I hope I will be there.

Yep Tokyo will definitely be better in that regard. Still this Olympics ended up working better than I thought.

Cry me a river...

I dont think the booing should have happened, its was not necessary, but all I see is that the french is mad that he didnt win.

People are so touchy nowadays they go the length of comparing that to Hitler? Seriously?

Edit: besides, this is the crowd style of south america, much more loud and disruptive than the "polite europeans", what was he expecting?

98% of Brazilian lack proper education from their parents, thats why. I could write 2000 words about it but this is a thread about the olympics. A crowd behaving like that is just sad.

"We are always shit" is not an acceptable excuse for being shit.
It ignores such insignificant forces as time, entropy, and death

We boo others to support our athletes when they are competing(and when we want someone to him), get off your high horse, you don't set the norms for cheering.

Also Lavillenie sounds like a proper wank, didn't congratulate Thiago after his win and hasn't talked to him for over a year. And just compared Brazilians to nazis.

Booing isn't supporting in our eyes. If you boo your own atlethes that's just as bad. If they have a bad day that doesn't mean you have to make them feel bad even more.
