So how do you teach manners to nations which don't have that much freedom in travelling around the globe? | ||

Yeah but I don't see anyone giving Lavillenie, who's french and should be well acquainted with the "superior sports culture" of Europe, any flak about it. It's all about how Brazilians are "shit" and have a "banana culture". TBH I don't give a shit that he didn't congratulate Thiago, some people get very hotheaded after losing and do things they wouldn't normally do, or maybe there's bad blood between them. But the hypocrisy is too flagrant for me to let it go unnoticed. | ||

And said on air that he wasn't surprised by Thiago's performance. From here, looks like you've been fed a specific narrative that brazilians thrive upon (we're victims, the europeans/americans don't like us, they are racist etc etc) without questioning the reason behind it. | ||

Oh, you play the victim, this is so cuuuute to be insecure about his own culture, maybe it is time to change! :D It is not only the european culture btw, asian ones seem not used to this either. Btw I could add that in football, spectators act regulary like this too, this is one of the reason in some country like France, football fans can be seen as a bunch of total idiots. The thing is olympics game are not a football competition... | ||

EDIT: Booing is never going to be considered good sportsmanship by 99% of the world. It is disrespectful towards the competition and the ideals of the Olympic Games. | ||

Dude was sulking during the competition, it was visible. Also, I wonder how defending my culture when attacked is painting Brazilians as the victims. In fact, quite the opposite is happening: some europeans(and Lavillenie) feel they were wronged by the crowed because we didn't act the "right", "civilized" way. edit: this discussion has taken way too much of my time, I have made my points, and it is not that important, so I won't respond anymore. | ||

The narrative hasn't been built by you, but I suspect by Brazilian media. But if you want my opinion, people have forgotten how bad the chinese crowd was in Beijing. They even booed their own athlete Liu Xiang when he was injured. I don't think anything can be worse than that. Edit: Fabiana Murer couldn't handle the pressure and didn't even pass a bar. So cruel for her. | ||

Non-asian participation in the finals would be the first in the history of the Olympic Games. Never mind second set is going as expected - Chinese dominance. | ||
