RIO DE JANEIRO -- Elevators are made for awkward moments.
Just ask Andrew Bogut, after he crossed paths with social media foe Liz Cambage in the Australian Olympic team complex in Rio.
The basketball stars have been in the headlines after locking horns on Twitter.
Cambage said last week she would confront Bogut and ask him what the issue was if they bumped into each other in the village.
And that's exactly what happened.
"I was getting ice, she was coming from the laundry, and we ended up in the lobby together - just us," Bogut said.
"I was about to square up because I didn't know where it was going with Lizzy.
"I was hoping she wasn't going to swing at me, but the arm was coming around for a hug.
"She gave me a massive hug and we just laughed about it."
Bogut insisted there were no hard feelings between the pair, who both begin their Olympic campaigns on Saturday.
"I'm a firm believer that anyone should give their opinion instead of the PC crap. At least you know what you're going to get."
The NBA star centre also caused a stir earlier in the week when he poked fun at the quality of the athletes' village, especially the lack of shower curtains and size of beds.
Bogut, who now has an extended bed and extra pillows, said he wasn't having a dig at Brazil or organisers.
"I'm a sarcastic guy that likes to joke around and some people took it the wrong way," he said.
"I look at myself as an honest guy, I'm going to tell it like it is."
