In Mijain Lopez's defense, he was just really excited. After winning gold in Greco-Roman wrestling -- his third Olympic gold, tying him for the best mark in Olympic Greco-Roman history -- Lopez could only celebrate in the most audacious of ways.
That celebration included a rather odd sight: Lopez bodyslamming his coach into the mat.
His coach put himself on a tee, though, jumping into Lopez's arms as the wrestler was deep into his lively post-match theatrics:
#Rio2016's celebrations have been off the charts.
Mijaín López wins, body slams his coach. https://t.co/0lXZ1NzZBV https://t.co/iFCepSCMjL— NBC Olympics (@NBCOlympics) August 16, 2016
Overlooked in Lopez's extensive celebration is the reaction of his opponent, Turkey's Riza Kayaalp, who seems a touch disgusted with the three-part act Lopez orchestrates in the wake of his 8-0 victory.
Yeah, it might not win any sportsmanship awards, but just try to say you don't enjoy watching a big guy in spandex dance and gesticulate like no one's watching.
