British Olympians have invented synchronized bottle flipping, the next great Olympic sport
The Rio Olympics may have come and gone, but there’s still some residual Olympic spirit left — and a lot of time on athletes’ hands. Over on Team Great Britain, taekwondo athletes Damon Sansum and Lyle Walker spent a portion of their time back home doing what anyone else would do: filming video evidence that synchronized bottle flipping should be an Olympic sport. You might think that’s a joke, even though its origin is slightly based in irony, but all of this is really impressive. It starts off simple, as they flip water bottles on a table and the ground. Suddenly, you see them flipping them on elevated platforms, flipping them backwards, flipping them over shower doors, and onto distant awnings. Should bottle flipping be an Olympic sport? Maybe not, but we should give these guys the gold anyway.
