LOL!
The audio feed just picked up someone shouting “Let’s go, Brandon!” in the empty arena during pairs figure skating at the Olympics:
So, yes, there was a "let's go Brandon" cheer in the empty arena in Beijing before Knierim and Frazier skated.

Now, we’re pretty sure it was for U.S. Olympian Brandon Frazier and not a criticism of the president, but it’s still hilarious:
Let’s Go Brandon has been shouted live on air at the Olympics
For US figure skater Brandon Frazier of course

Hey, the phrase does have a double meaning nowadays:
Get ready to watch the dynamic duo. @alexa_knierim and @Brandon_F1992 are about to hit the ice on @NBC. #WinterOlympics x #TeamUSA pic.twitter.com/jDVGptNxVQ

An amazing moment in Olympics history:

Since there are no fans in attendance, it was likely a coach or a teammate, right?
Perhaps teammates/coaches cheering on Brandon Frazier of the US team?

And wouldn’t this coach or teammate know how this would be received?
#Olympics did someone just Let's Go Brandon from the US team box during the #figureskate pairs free? Like, for real???
