#SplashFight
What are the Olympics without some good heated competition? Australian swimmer Mack Horton has been hashing it out with Chinese rival Sun Yang. Horton made a comment towards Yang saying he had no “time or respect for drug cheats,” referring to Yang’s drug use outing in 2014. A few more words were exchanged, Sun splashed Horton in the face at a training session #SwimmerRage, and after Horton’s win he supposedly snubbed Sun when they received their medals. Then Sun cried when he lost the race, with social media blowing up with “Sun Yang Don’t Cry.” The best part of it all? Angry Sun fans took to Instagram and put snakes all over Horton’s posts. They got Horton where “the sun” don’t shine. “Sssssssssss.” (Source: The Guardian)

His face expresses such boredom you can almost feel his pain. A different lifeguard says it’s a one in a million chance of a swimmer actually needing to be rescued, but he likes to dream about it.
