Hey, you know that celebration that we've seen over the years in which someone fakes like they hurt their hamstring and then immediately stops and starts twerking instead?

We've seen Travis Kelce do it. It was done by soccer player Lo'eau Labonta. And now we've seen it at the 2024 Paris Olympics.

Canadian pole vaulter Alysha Newman nailed one of her jumps, then came off of the mats holding her leg, before giving a quick twerk as she celebrated what would be an eventual bronze medal. You can see that moment here.

It's an iconic celebration, and now it's forever etched in Olympic history. Good for her!
