WA studied online abuse of athletes at the Paris Olympics and the good news is it's a very small problem. Only 0.2% of all posts - basically 1 out of 440 - were found to be abusive.

That being said, 49% abuse went to Americans and it says 2 athletes received 82% of all abuse.

Does anyone know who those two were? Based on statistics, it seems like at least one has to be an American.

Lyles and Sha'Carri are the natural conclusions, and likely the answers.

But if 82% went to 2 athletes yet only 49% went to Americans, that would mean one of our athletes is not American, no?

For speculation purposes:

Maybe Sedjiati for semi-obvious doping?

Kenny B for baton issues? (He is American tbf)

Hiltz instead of Sha'Carri(also American?

Didn't George Mills get absolutely berated on social media for a few days for menacing a French dude after a collision that was kind of his fault?

Could also be either Jingy or Kerr fans hating on the alternative as well that's usually an issue

Kipchoge could maybe be a possibility? Although most reacted with respect, he did also gather some "choker" claims and doping accusations

edit: I'm assuming this is only track and field. If not, it's probably the Dutch rapist or the Australian break dancer

If it's across the entire games, it's absolutely Imane Khelif. The way people treated her was disgusting

The Algerian boxer, the Dutch Tennis player(who raped a 12 year old). Lyles maybe? Those are the ones I can think of.

It's definitely the Dutch volleyball player, and either the Algerian 'female' boxer or Raygun.

People here are kidding themselves that even at the Olympic Games, guys like Lyles were the best known athletes.

If you asked a random person to name athletes from Paris, they would probably say Raygun first, then the Dutch 'rapist' andn the Algerian boxer (though they wouldn't know their names). They would also know any big gold winner from their own country, so a Brit would very likely know Keely Hodgkinson, but most in other countries wouldn't.

BTW, that Dutch volleyball rapist was 19 and had willing sex with a 12 year old girl who he met online and lied about her age (although he did know her age by the time they had sex). It was legally 'rape' because in the UK where it happened any sex with a person under 13 is legally rape. In the Uk, it's also legally rape if you sexually assault somebody in virtual reality. Not saying he isn't a child abuser, or a bad person, but he didn't really 'rape' the girl, other than commit what would be 'statutory rape' in the USA.
