Egyptian fencer Mohammed Elsayed achieved a feat, eliminating Frenchman Yannick Borel this Sunday at the 32th Olympic Games in Tokyo (Japan). An unprecedented victory which was well worth a very original celebration. The Pharaoh of the Sabers simply imitated the Portuguese football star Cristiano Ronaldo, with his famous “Suuuuu”. An image that has been around social networks.
The show is at its peak in Tokyo. At only 18 years old, the Egyptian Mohammed Elsayed has just eliminated the 2018 world champion, Yannick Borel, as soon as he entered the Olympic tournament on Sunday. Gold medalist in teams at Rio 2016, the French, who was aiming for the individual title in Tokyo, lost to the young Pharaoh (15 to 11 touches).
To celebrate this unprecedented victory, Mohammed Elsayed then performed a well-known celebration in the football world: that of Cristiano Ronaldo with his famous “Suuuuu”. An image that has been around social networks. Borel admitted that his opponent had been “smart”. “Unlike me,” he said.
“He countered what was needed, he prepared his match well: I don’t have much information about him, he’s very young, he’s coming to the circuit, but that doesn’t explain the way I ‘ve lost, ”he added.
