It was not Felix. The writer has a picture happily smiling with Felix in his article.

In Rupp's case that would only be if Salazar was providing crowd control and limiting access to his star pupil. No Rupp-access allowed!!!
The guy has a picture of Rupp up, and mentioned that Salazar gave Rupp's spikes to a happy kid.
It obviously isn't Phelps. The media got PLENTY of time with him, and there's absolutely no way that adding that many golds and one silver would make him disappointed, especially considering it outdid his performance in 2012.

Indeed.

Also from the same guy:
http://www.runblogrun.com/2016/08/the-perplexities-of-caster-semanaya.htmlSo Semanaya runs, and she seems to be happy proud and honored to be doing it.
One can also add the word graceful, as she met a few fans and supporters after this mornings' heats and willingly signed a few autographs and posed for pictures. "I'm very honored", she said as she was walking amongst the small group of her Coach, entourage, and fans.

Possibly. Schippers certainly was not happy about her results:

Well said. A guy who sat in the stands and took a bunch of selfies.

So, the first guy was right. Salazar provides crowd control for Rupp. What is odd is that Salazar was giving away something of Rupp's. Very strange; why can't Rupp decide to do that himself? Salazar has been with Rupp far too long. It is like Salazar must be Rupp's shadow. Why can't Salazar let Rupp do things on his own?

I would be very surprised if it was Gatlin, he has always been fan friendly.
As crazy as this story sounds, I would not be surprised if it is legit. Kenyan athletes will hoard whatever they think they can get away with. Kenyan athletes and even the Kenyan government by nature are very frugal except when it comes to themselves and perhaps their family. I guess they need to be when they only get to keep less than 1/4th of their earnings. Over the decades, there have been many rich Kenyan athletes, millionaires by Kenyan standards, yet they put almost nothing back into supporting grass roots track and field in their country. I would not be surprised if Asbel thought since he was a star athlete, he would not be charged for the candy bars.

Not Gatlin. He's very grateful for the fans he has.
both of 'em?
I'm going to guess Trey Hardee. He was down there from NBC and is definitely seems like one of those athletes that is above everyone else.
In Atlanta, I saw Paul Tergat dump an entire pan of Macaroni and Cheese into his backpack and then walk out of Old Country Buffet.

That makes no sense at all. How could someone who wasn't competing be disappointed in his results? It must be an athlete who disappointed with how he or she finished, despite getting some sort of medal.
I saw tergat do the same to a plate of tzatziki in athens
Who is known for getting into fights amd pushing mascots?!!!
Agree with a few of the other posts. It had to be Dafne Schippers. She looked like she would bite a nail in two. A few minutes after the 200 final, the camera caught her throwing her spikes on the track.
Sounds like someone got into the ganja after his race.
