This is like a moment from an awkward teen movie…
Sun Yang recently won the 200m freestyle in Rio but he reminded us that despite being near superhuman athletes, they’re not good at other things, namely throwing stuff.
In celebration of his win, Yang decided to throw his swim cap up to his cheering fans in the crowd, but maybe the adrenalin in his system affected his throw.
Because it was horrendous…

We doubt he gives two sh*ts about the failed celebration though as an easy riposte to any potential insults is his gold medal achievement.
The Rio games haven’t been the best for swim hats all-round, with Michael Phelps testing the elasticity of his own to breaking point last night…

That didn’t stop him from winning two more gold medals last night in the 200m butterfly before he helped the US win the men’s 4x200m freestyle relay.
It takes his gold medal haul at the Olympic games to 21.
