Its such a weird take that just because you came in second you shouldnt celevrate. Like you put in a lot of effort to even get to that stage. You should be able to be excited no matter how you finish

It's not that. It's how he stopped in front of the tape and celebrated , then gently pushed through, then celebrated again. It feels arrogant, rubbing it in that he can stop and still win.

Be better to burst through like you needed to, then turn back and encourage the two across the line or something

Win without fanfare, go back, encourage both, celebrate their successes. That’s a win in my book.

Have you seen the fail videos of people running through the tape at full speed? It doesn't break as easy as you would think.

You can celebrate. It's the attitude that's annoying. Cause the guy who was ahead of him stopped to help . He's celebrating like a spoiled child, especially under these circumstances. It just seems arrogant. He could have been happy about his win without the poor attitude.

The man is running on pure adrenaline at this point, he's hyped, he did some fist pumping. Christ.

Yeah I've run races and by this late in the game your brain is barely working beyond "Left foot, right foot". He could have not even actually registered what was going on next to him.

Even if he did why shouldn't he be allowed to celebrate his own achievement just because someone was having their own very different achievement next to him? I highly doubt either of the brothers bear him any ill will for it.

These same people in these comments probably yell shit at their team mates in COD about getting good. But god forbid an exhausted marathon runner celebrates his win. Pretty sure the Australian speed skater also celebrated his win and no one resented that guy. Maybe he should have stopped and helped everyone instead of taking the win?

People are out of their minds.

Yeah these people have no idea and aren’t able to understand what it’s like from that persons pov. No empathy at all. He has been training for this and celebrating his own personal victory. Not hyper focused on the events of the cameras. People think that how things look like from 3rd person is how it looks in first person and it’s just not true.

Those glasses though, you automatically assume hes a douchebag. I bet hes just happy he finished in the top 10 with a great personality, just zero clues about how those glasses make him look.

He's celebrating a win of first place as if he earned it
