[@andrewcharles7873]

Braz Da Silva deserved the title, but I really like USA Sam Kendricks for his superb sportsmanship in applauding his two opponents who both finished above him. Can't say the same for the defending champion Renaud Lavillenie who was not as gracious in defeat and in fact appeared so sure and cocky of himself. As it ended, Braz Da Silva broke the Olympic record whilst Renaud couldn't even break his own personal best.

[@elgordo1020]

Well his personal best is also the wr, so that would have taken a mighty effort to beat. Was pretty awesome to see Da Silva win though.

[@marioshine2447]

lol his personal best is the WR so it's a bit difficult to beat that you know?

[@Bort_The_Gentle]

If you're going to try and throw shade at an elite athlete...know what the hell you're talking about first

[@soullover7324]

you are right, he couldn't jump his best because they keep blood samples for at least 8 years and the loser smelly arrogant lavillenie needed the same dose of drugs he used to steal Bubka's record.

[@syllevineo]

I don't understand how Renaud looked cocky. He holds the world record for this event. Obviously he was expecting to clinch the gold medal and by looking sad because he didn't get gold meant that he was cocky and so sure of himself? Dude come on. Imaging someone winning Usain Bolt, you're gonna tell me he is not gonna look upset? SMH.

[@astora3973]

@@roulianleponey45 C'est clair, mais laisse tomber ! L'arrogance n'est que française, jamais les autres (la blague). Renaud fait parti des très rares champions olympique à la perche, à avoir glané une seconde médaille pour commencer. La seule chose positive a été le respect du perchiste brésilien venu le soutenir et lui parlé, pas de ses compatriotes malheureusement.

[@roulianleponey45]

Rafael dans le stade ils étaient une majorité, ce pays avant ces JO ne connaissait que très peu l’athlétisme et encore moins la perche, et la réaction du public a été et restera à jamais une honte aussi bien pendant le concours qu’ensuite sur le podium. Un tel manque de respect envers un athlète aussi doué que gentil juste parce que le brésilien de service était son adversaire principal ça n’a juste pas lieu d’etre. Et le fait que certains brésiliens se permettent en commentaires de la video de dire que « c’est bien fait pour ce sale français arrogant » montre encore plus cette ignorance et est juste à vomir...

why was he booed?

[@DakonBlackblade2]

Probably to avoid the nonstop whinning from ppl who thinks that had any influence whatsoever on the result and that it wasn't the fact that Thiago jumped 6.03 and Lavillenie didn't that mattered. But having finished watching it, they didn't actualy cut it, the boos were very mild so in most transmitions they couldn't be heard realy, they did cut him giving the crowd the thumbs down tough.

[@zumholli]

Because it's the Olympics channel and they don't want any bad images...

[@zumholli]

Because Brazilians have a mentality that is very much influenced by football (Soccer). They do not respect other athletes than their own which of course is totally against the olympic spirit

[@donnas7240]

majr72 I'm finally gonna be able to try pole vault! Which muscles are most important to have?

[@majr72]

Well you have to have pretty good upper strength and have pretty good speed as well. Most of all practice your form. Your core needs to be tight as well. I would hope that your school has practice poles. If they do practice your form as much as possible with those. It takes lots of mechanics to accomplish vaulting. Just don't give up. There are plenty of instructional videos on line to watch and help you. Once you get the hang of it it's a big rush to try and keep improving. I hope this helps. Just remember don't give up it will get frustrating at times. But it's real fun once it all comes together and you clear that first height. One thing to remember don't ever be afraid of it. Good luck and have fun with it.
