Israeli team was going to the bus to take them to the ceremony and turned out they were assigned same bus as Lebanon.   The Lebanese athletes demanded the driver would close the door and the head of the Lebanese delegation blocked the driver from letting our athletes on!!   They had to call a special bus to take our guys to the maracana 

 

I dont have a link yet.  Just social media reports from staff

I wonder which organiser thought it would be a good idea to put two of those "explosive countries"  together in a bus

 Thank you for the photo of a "happy" Kim Woo-jin, it has already become a much used "meme" on a Dutch forum as a sarcastic "well done"

Oscar Schmidt in my opinion could be a great choice.

Especially as he was very ill with cancer not long ago

I hate Israel politically but that was a petty, petty move from Lebanon. Goes totally against the Olympic Movement. These athletes are not the ones opressing Palestine. Take aim at the politicians, sure, but take athletes as athletes and make their sporting performance the only think that matters.

Probably best to say "The Israeli government" rather than just Israel

Good luck to Brazil.

Great Britain loved 2012 - now it is the time of Brazil to shine
