Oregon runner celebrates prematurely, costs himself a win

It’s perfectly normal and acceptable to celebrate a victory.
Just be sure you actually win first.
That’s the mistake Oregon runner Tanguy Pepiot made over the weekend, as he began to try to pump up the crowd and on the way to the finish line in anticipation of his win.
Unfortunately for him, while he was doing that, Washington’s Meron Simon turned on the jets and beat him to the finish.
If nothing else, this provides a good learning experience for Pepiot and a laugh for the rest of us.
