RIO DE JANEIRO (AP) — The sports rivalry between Argentina and Brazil has moved from the soccer field to the Rio Games.
Fans from both nations, always willing to taunt each other, have put on a show in the Olympic stands in the first days of competition in Rio.
When Argentina faced Nigeria in the basketball tournament, fans from both countries ignored the game to taunt each other. Something similar happened a few hours earlier at the Olympic Tennis Centre, where the local fans openly rooted for Novak Djokovic of Serbia in his match against Juan Martin del Potro of Argentina.
