Out of curiosity, what sessions were you considering?
Tell that to those who stayed for the business end of the men's pole vault.
(Admittedly, that was marred by their classless booing of Lavillenie.)”

Their classless booing spoilt the whole event for me. They carried that over to the medal ceremony. Put me right off them.
The crowd in general were just unknowledgeable. No polite applause for anybody unless you were Brazilian or Usain Bolt. Rio was the first Olympics I have watched that I wasn't sorry to see finish, and that was nothing to do with the great performances.
Little Lausanne managed more in two hours than Rio did in a week ... for me anyway.
