Beaten Lavillenie fumes at jeering crowd

Renaud Lavillenie was left fuming at a jeering partisan crowd as Brazilian Thiago Braz da Silva snatched Olympic pole vault gold in a thrilling competition.

The Frenchman was the defending Olympic champion from London 2012, but saw da Silva snatch victory with an Olympic record of 6.03m.

But the vaulting, disrupted by heavy rain that delayed the start, was the scene of extended jeers and whistles from a local crowd that got increasingly behind Braz as it realized he was in with a medal chance.
