Story by Daniel Davis
The unnamed man was caught on camera during the women's street skate finals last Sunday and had been wearing Olympic Broadcasting Services [OBS] kit.
According to a journalist who informed organisers of the incident, the man, who has been identified as a subcontractor, was stood behind athletes at La Concorde Urban Park and twice made an 'OK' gesture low to his side in the background of TV shots.
His forefinger and thumb linked to form the symbol, which can be used to show approval and is a widely-used emoji. However, it is also alleged that its use among certain far-right groups is on the rise. The man's motives are not known.
It is said that the man tried to manoeuvre himself into a position that would allow him to be spotted in the live footage also displayed on the venue's large screens.
A spokesperson for the International Olympic Committee said: 'The person in question has been identified and confirmed not to be a member of the OBS team.
'They are associated with one of its contractors. The contractor has been informed. The individual's accreditation has been cancelled effective immediately.'
Comment:
Maybe the guy was a Democrat.
It's the secret hand sign for racist Democrats.
