British cyclist makes his teammates lose it on the podium after pulling a goofy face on camera

Give him another gold for this.

Great Britain’s Bradley Wiggins made the men’s team pursuit medal ceremony the best medal ceremony in Rio when he flashed a beautiful eye-popping tongue-out face at the camera. He should go down as one of the best athletes in history just for doing this.

Actually I think this should be a requirement now. If you win gold you have to make a funny face. It’s only fair.

Wiggins won this gold in world record fashion with his teammates Steven Burke -- whom he absolutely cracked up with that amazing face -- Owain Doull, Ed Clancy and Mark Cavendish. They beat the Australians by less than a second. The medal is Wiggins’ eighth in five Olympic games. The gold medal finish in the team pursuit was his third win. He’s won in three of the past four Olympic games. Wiggins now has five golds in total, one silver and two bronze medals.
