Japanese volleyball star Yuji Nishida came into the discussion by celebrating like Cristiano Ronaldo at the beginning of the Paris Olympics. After getting a point for Japan that day, Nishida enjoyed Ronaldo's famous 'Sew' celebration. And this time, Ronaldo's compatriots, Yuri Leitao and Rui Oliviera, were discussed in the same celebration.
The Siu celebration is to run a bit after scoring a goal, jump into the void and bring the hands down to the sides of the body crosswise while twisting the body. During the celebration, Ronaldo is also seen shouting 'Sew' in his mouth. The celebration has now become a trademark in the football world.
Even though Ronaldo started it, other footballers were also seen joining in the celebration. Many such as Vinicius Jr., Rodrigo and Alejandro Garnacho have come to the discussion having performed such celebrations before. Then gradually this celebration spread beyond football. As in this year's Olympics, several athletes have reminded 'CR Seven' in this celebration.
Volleyball star Nishida's celebration has already been mentioned. Ecuadorian athlete Brian Daniel Pintaldo can be seen celebrating in the same way. And this time, Leitao and Oliviera remembered the five-time Ballon d'Or winner through the celebration. After winning the gold, both of them celebrated Ronaldo's 'Sew'. They also paid tribute to one of the best athletes of their country with this celebration.
Leitao and Oliviera beat Italy's Simeone Konsoni and Elia Viviani to win gold in the men's Madison final in track cycling. Denmark's Michel Morkov and Niklas Larsen won bronze in this category.
After winning the gold, an excited Oliviera said, 'I am speechless. This whole thing is like a dream for me. I don't think it really happened. Never won a single race in my life. This moment has come after many disappointments. If someone had told me, I would win my first race at the Olympics, I would have said, 'Are you kidding me?'
