RIO DE JANEIRO -- Two days in a row, Thiago Braz da Silva was celebrated as a national hero in the Olympic Stadium. Both days, Renaud Lavillenie was booed by the home crowd.International Olympic Committee President Thomas Bach thinks enough is enough.The IOC leader described the booing that echoed around the stands during Tuesdays medal ceremony for the pole vault as shocking behavior, saying it was unacceptable at the Olympics.It reduced Lavillenie to tears, which streamed down his face at the ceremony.I wish this on no one, he said, again shocked that thousands of people would boo him again.Da Silva had an upset win over the defending champion late Monday, and thousands of fans kept on booing the Frenchman as he tried to reclaim the gold-medal position during the thrilling, late-night duel.The raucous booing was meant to unsettle the non-Brazilian. It did. Lavillenie, instead of concentrating solely on his final jump, gave them the thumbs down.Lavillenie condemned the behavior of the crowd soon after his event finished, saying nothing like it had been seen since Jesse Owens at the 1936 Olympics in Berlin, Hitlers propaganda games. He quickly apologized and retracted his statement, but maintained that the Brazilian fans in the stadium were disregarding the Olympic spirit.If this is a nation where they only want Brazil and they spit on others, then you should not organize the Olympics, he said in the early hours of Tuesday, comments unlikely to endear him with the host nation.So he pretty much knew what was coming when the ceremony for the medal presentations.I expected some whistles, and it would have shocked me, but I didnt expect it to be so violent, he said.During the medal ceremony, Da Silva raised his arms to calm the fans and applauded the silver medal of world-record holder Lavillenie, who won gold four years ago in London. Soon the tears were rolling down Lavillenies face, and it was not because he won the silver medal.I held it till the moment I no longer could, he said.Lavillenie was consoled later by Da Silva and pole vault great Sergei Bubka, an IOC member.After the ceremony, the stadium announcer for the remainder of competition reminded fans for the utmost respect for all athletes.Cheap Whitey Herzog Jersey .

Then again, the way theyre racking up setbacks, the shock is starting to wear off.The Suns (4-10) fell to the 76ers 120-105 Saturday night in a start-to-finish beat-down against a Philadelphia team that entered the week with one win. Now the 76ers are up to three victories as they downed the Wizards 109-102 on Wednesday.The Suns and Wizards meet Monday night at 7:00 p.m.Washington (3-9) rebounded with a victory Thursday over the New York Knicks, but momentum quickly faded. The Wizards lost 114-111 to the Heat Saturday night against a Miami team that entered 28th in the NBA in scoring.Eric Bledsoe scored 27 points against Philadelphia as Phoenix fell to 1/3 on its current six-game road trip. 76ers rookie center Joel Embiid set a career-high 26 points.You give any team confidence at home and they can get rolling, Suns coach Earl Watson said. They have a lot of confidence here. Their crowd was energetic and Embiid in limited minutes was more than effective.Its unclear what the Suns will receive from second-year guard and leading scorer Devin Booker for the remainder of this stretch because of a sprained left ankle. The perimeter threat averages 19.2 points, but had only 10 Saturday.He struggled, Watson said of Booker. He gave all he had. He knew he wanted to play because we didnt have T.J.

We have to get better at playing defense. Thats the bottom line.Guards John Wall and Bradley Beal each set season-highs with 34 points, but the Heat set a season-best scoring total.They got wide open 3s, Wall said after the middle contest of a three-game homestand. They had some guys that usually dont make shots that made shots because they were basically workout shots. There was nobody there to contest them.Another defensive challenge comes against the Suns, who average 108.4 points, sixth in the NBA.Markieff Morris left in the second quarter with a sprained ankle and did not return, though was walking without an issue in the postgame locker room. Traded from Phoenix to Washington last February, Morris is hopeful to face his former team Monday. ' ' '
