Hello guys, a few days back, I had posted a quiz on twitter regarding one of the most famous celebrations in Tennis History, so I thought why not a complete quiz on iconic celebrations?? Who knows, it might take you to the best revisit you ever had….I know I know, that won’t happen but still, let’s revisit.
c.) Antoine Griezzmann
The present Barcelona striker is well known for other celebrations too but this one from his arsenal just steals the show for me.
Though a similar celebration was made famous earlier by Marlon Samuels against Ben Stokes in a Test Match.
What is X. Extra points for identifying this “Jamaican soldier” turned cricketer.
a.) Salute Sendoff
Yes, I am indeed talking about the salute of Sheldon Cotrell which has become a very iconic scene in the Caribbean Premier League as well as now in IPL.
Here is Marlon Samuels sporting that celebration against Ben Stokes.
hint: He plays in the NBA.
a.) Lebron JamesJust like Ronaldo, arguably one of the best players in NBA history, the celebration has since been taken inspiration by numerous others, including his own son.
Rafael Nadal who has quite literally owned the clay court in his generation made famous a unique way of celebration. His X pose after winning a tournament, like having a taste of success, has widely gained popularity and was followed by numerous others in different sports from then. X was also done in olden days for some very genuine reasons, but now, is great symbolism for success. If you see Rafa winning a trophy, you see his X pose.
b.) Biting the Trophy
I am sure he has bitten the French Open crown more times than some players have even touched it 😂😂
It remains a popular influence and, it appears, has made it into sport thanks to the greatest alive athlete of his field.
Which celebration?
b.) Usain Bolt’s Lightning Bolt
You thought there would be a quiz set without the fastest man alive??
