Their booing is fairly annoying, but what I'm talking about started weeks before the olympics

Why dont they allow doping openly so we don't wonder if any podium has at least 1 clean guy ?

Brazil had/has some infraestructure issues that frustrate athletes and tourists, especially the ones coming from first world countries, since they are used to have everything going well and good for them. Many simple and basic things were and still are wrong, and that annoys anyone.
Now, I won't blame the foreigners on their complaints, they are mostly right on their calls, but I sure as hell will not accept that french dude as a victim, and that booing was "the lowest moment of rio". As I saw it, he was just a bad loser, no more, no less. Maybe he was hot headed and didn't really mean to say what he said, I don't know.
The media is just trying to profit the most by being scandalous, like always has been and always will be.
Edit: Tch... just read the american media is calling Shaunae Miller un-ethical for beating the american Alysson Felix with a dive at the finish line of the 400m race. See that? The american media just can't shut up.

You should blame them. There's tons of people actively rooting for things to go wrong, there's a place on reddit called apocalympics2016 with almost 100k people making mountains out of every molehill and circlejerking about how Brazilians are 3rd world savages. You should have seen how disappointed people were when the Lochte story got debunked. I'll never understand that kind of fervor for drama.

The french guy was just the top of the iceberg.
Seriously, booing athletes is everywhere, or what i think was even worse, cheering when gymnast made mistakes. How shitty do you have to be...
|
Holy crap.
Bolt looked so amused at De Grasse during the 200m when he realized he was right next to him. The bromance is real.
|
Greatest run ever honestly
Not to mention, de Grasse broke Canadian 200m record, WHILE LAUGHING, that guy will be the next big thing.
|
Women long jump is insane right now. Three women over 7m

Awesome run from De Grasse.
I'm quite surprised at both Yohan Blake and Gatlin missing the finals.
