Hey Youtube, Jim here!
Welcome to Top10Archive!
There are many reasons why we watch sports.
For one, it brings out something really instinctive in us that loves to watch a competition that
feels high-stakes.
As if it was death, not a medal, that was on the line.
So what could possibly make this more satisfying or devastating than watching someone celebrate
just a little too early and have it all taken away at the last minute?
Well, you're in luck, because we're going to highlight our picks in this list of the
top 10 times sports athletes celebrated too early!

Skating This skater’s adrenaline must have been
pumping so hard!
He was blinded, blinded I say!
Because there’s no other way that he could have missed the fact that there were three
skaters riding his tail.
He also celebrated for a really long time while he was still a ways away from the finish
line.
Essentially, no part of this celebration is right.
Just wait until you win, you’ll have plenty of time to celebrate after.

Cycling If you’re long-distance cycling you kind
of get some leeway for celebrating.
You get to do the whole sit up on your bike, hands up, thank God, the whole 9 yards.
But in something as small as this, where your competitor is just breaths away, this guy
really did have it coming.
Just watch as within milliseconds the guy coming in second is on his tail and whoosh,
takes the win.

Watch the time Most of these are just so time-sensitive.
If any of these people had caught on to the mistake they were making with enough time,
maybe, just maybe, they could have turned it around.
That’s what makes it fun to watch though, is to see their faces when they realize there’s
no turning back.
Just watch this coach as he realizes he and his team celebrated way too early.

Khalid Askari From a Moroccan League Cup match, during penalty
kicks after a stiff head-to-head competition that wouldn’t budge, goalie Khalid Askari
thought he’d gotten his team closer to the cup.
Unfortunately, he didn’t walk away with the ball in hand after blocking the goal and
he didn’t realize that the ball was still spinning.
As he pounds his chest in a very alpha way, the goal happens without him.

Mark Martin Man, this one is hard to watch.
It kind of could have happened to anyone.
I mean, imagine, you’re in a car going around and around and around.
I can barely keep track of how many reps I do at the gym, you think I could keep track
of how many laps I’ve done in a super-fast car?
So, it’s no wonder why he veered off to celebrate a whole lap early.
Poor guy, his entire team is so confused and he looks kind of….
stupid.
David Green, the new winner, has him to thank.
5.
Leave Your Ego Outside There’s a time to feel like a hero.
Usually, that time is when you’re getting your medal... and not a minute sooner.
During this track race, this guy did not get the memo and his ego got way ahead of him.
He was so happy about his win, he was too busy getting people to cheer for him and didn’t
realize he was about to come in second.
That’s why they tell you to leave your ego at the door, it literally just holds you back.

Teenage Volleyball You know the word schadenfreude?
It’s the happiness you feel when something bad happens to someone else.
I think a lot of these early celebrations come from Schadenfreude.
Rule #1 of Schadenfreude?
Never celebrate until you’re absolutely sure your opponent has lost.
These girls didn’t know that before this very unfortunate thing happened.
3.
Take-Two Looks like this is a common thing in volleyball.
There will be plenty of time to huddle and celebrate when the play is actually over,
but it’s not over until it’s over.
Watch as this college volleyball team royally screws up, celebrating too early.
2.
Embarrassing Everyone loves a good boxing match.
This boxer is actually incredible, he’s throwing amazing punches with such speed that
his opponent doesn’t even stand a chance at fighting back or even covering himself
up very well!
However, he really should have checked that the punches did the trick before going and
enthusiastically throwing himself on top of.. and then accidentally over the edge of the
ring.

Most Epic Basket This child, whoever he is, will probably never
have a moment this big in his life ever again.
Well, who am I to deny him that?
Maybe this is a long line of maybe last-minute saves forever.
He’s last-minute Mike.
Watch, as last-minute Mike makes the other team wish they had never celebrated and earns
the MVP for
the next... infinity.
