RIO DE JANEIRO -- Thiago Braz da Silvas surprising pole vault victory ensured Brazils first gold medal in the Olympic Stadium and sparked euphoric celebrations. Dante Fabbro Jersey .It also ensured some unpleasant fallout for the hosts.The heckling was so intense that when Olympic champion Renaud Lavillenie prepared for his last attempt to extend his title and potentially bump Braz da Silva to silver, he lost his concentration and gave a thumbs down to the thousands of local fans. He lost his gold when he failed at 6.08 meters, and that allowed Braz da Silvas 6.03 Olympic record to stand.The party was on, though not for Lavillenie.If you get no respect in the Olympics, where can you get respect? Lavillenie said. If this is a nation where they only want Brazil, and they spit on others, then you should not organize the Olympics.In his rawest anger immediately after the three-plus-hour competition, which was extended because of rain, he even made a reference to the 1936 Berlin Olympics, the propaganda Games of Hitler. He later apologized for that at a news conference.I did a big mistake for that. It was my first words, after competition, he said. Of course we cannot compare the two.The 22-year-old Braz da Silva acknowledged that he fed off the fervor of the crowd in a positive sense, thanks to the raucous cheers.The public helped me a lot, was supporting me, and that was really important for me at this time in my home to get a medal, the champion said.Asked what he thought of the relentless booing of those who got in the way of Brazils budding champion, Braz da Silva said, I understand the people from Brazil.In our country, they want the guy from Brazil to win, he said. They cannot control emotions, you know.The competition had all the drama needed. Early on, Lavillenie did all the right things. Wait late to come in and not waste energy, then scale every height on the first attempt to lead throughout.But Braz da Silva didnt wilt and produced an Olympic-record vault for the lead.Incredible. My first time over 6 meters, he said.Yet Lavillenie still had a chance to win. He raised the bar to 6.08 for one final attempt, and as he prepared, the crowd started booing him. The Frenchman went up for the last attempt but failed.Braz da Silva was celebrating. The host nation, which had been counting on female vaulter Fabiana Murer to win gold later in the Olympics, had a new star. And as with their famous soccer players, the full name doesnt matter. The champion is known here as Thiago Braz.I like that, he said.For Lavillenie, it was the second shocking defeat of a bad summer. Last month, he lost the European title when he failed to clear his opening height. This one will feel far worse, as he had worked for this night the entire season.The loss mattered less than his treatment.I could never leave Rio with a smile when you get booed for doing your sport, Lavillenie said.
