King of His Own Brain... (Olympic's Version)

Well, let's just say that this boy was a STAR in his own mind. This is Gervasio Deferr from Spain. He is an excellent gymnast from Spain. In fact, this picture was taken after a GREAT Floor Exercise program in which he ultimately won the Silver Medal.

.
Given the overweighting of the Chinese Gymnast scores, there is a strong possibility that he had the best Floor Exercise routine.
.
but...


No matter how good he was, he was not as great as he thought he was. After his exercise he blew kisses to the crowd and waved like a madman.

It was even better when the awarded his medal. He waved and waved and waved, delaying the Gold Medal ceremony. After the Chinese Anthem was finally played, he waved and blew kisses so long, the photographers finally waved him off stage. He was the ONLY athlete of any sport I saw the photographers wave off. He got the hook!
