Anyone else notice there's been a lot of booing by the fans? It seems very unsportsmanlike, especially for the Olympics.

I noticed the fans were also cheering sometimes when other countries made mistakes like during gymnastics the other night.
I don't remember this happening in other Olympics.

Responses:

I hadn't noticed that at Gymnastics. Is it possible they were cheering someone else on another apparatus at the same time? - Diva Aug 17, 11:39 5
- Nope. It was during the individual competition and the Brazilian was in contention for a medal and every time - Krusty Aug 17, 11:40 4
  - the booing may have happened (and that would be weird) but there is literally always something else going on at the gym during a meet. -- nm - Diva Aug 17, 11:43 3
    - I wish I could link the video but there's no doubt it was directed at the gymnast. - Krusty Aug 17, 11:47 2
      - that's awful. -- nm - Diva Aug 17, 11:48 1
        
        Yeah, it was upsetting and very much against the spirit of the games. -- nm - Krusty Aug 17, 11:49

- I only know the fans from soccer matches but this is strange for the Olympics. - Krusty Aug 17, 11:39

I saw a few reddit posts in reference to the French pole vaulter. It's flat out disgraceful. -- nm - Shaun Aug 17, 11:36 3
