This GIF of a swimmer realizing he won gold is hilarious

James Dator has been covering a wide range of sports for SB Nation for over a decade, with a special focus on the NFL.

Leonardo De Deus wrecked the competition in the 200m butterfly at the Pan Am Games in Toronto, and he had no clue it happened. This GIF says it all. We don’t know where De Deus thought he would finish, but it wasn’t first -- and it wasn’t with a Pam Am Games record.

How do you celebrate such an achievement? You eat your medal.
