The entire thing is one big fiasco..

Top IOC official arrested for ticket scalping. Honestly... who was he scalping them to? Every event looks 1/3 full at best. Track and field last night looked to have about 10,000 people in a 80K seat stadium.

Olympics chief last night basically said the Brazilian crowds in attendance are bit POS's.

It has been packed when Bolt is on the track. Beach Volleyball will be hugely attended now that Brazil knocked out Walsh/Jennings.

WSJ says stadium "virtually empty" when Bolt was running..

prelims so to be expected, but yeah. It's not a good turnout for 90% of the events I've watched.
