my question is more technical: how did the blot out the booing? and: how live was it in the US? from the Academy Awards we know that they have a 5s delay (following the Michael Moore incident), but what is it with olympics broadcast?
That being said, I'm in the US and I heard boos on the delayed broadcast.

it was 2003, but oh, dear Michael, if only you knew what the future would be like...
Filtering out boos doesn't seem to be an issue from a technical standpoint. It was done recently with Donald Trump at the US Open Tennis:

"The USTA’s decision to comply with the White House’s wishes and shield Trump’s self-presentation from noise is hardly understandable. The British Guardian called it in tennis jargon an “unforced error” – a fault without necessity. The US Open are actually the Grand Slam tournament that cares least about etiquette."
