US Vice President JD Vance endured a chorus of “boos” as US athletes began their march at the Winter Olympics Opening Ceremony, after Israeli athletes faced the same unwarm welcome.

I’m watching it on delay right now, and they just came in. The athletes got a great cheer, but that quickly switched to boos when they showed him. It was perfectly done.

    I watched some but not the entire thing. Did other countries leaders get shown while their athletes walked out our just Vance during the USA? None of what I watched showed other leaders. Maybe they weren't there? I don't know

    It depends on their recognition status I guess. They showed princess Anne I think when Great Britain entered. And a few others.
