Fans baffled after spotting Olympics 2024 sailors ‘twerking’ during gold medal race as some ask ‘isn’t that illegal?’
SAILORS “twerking” in an Olympic gold medal race stunned viewers.
The vigorous wave-whipping, bottom-bouncing technique transfixed fans.
Some even questioned if the side-on gyrating was legal as competitors strained for extra speed on the Mediterranean ocean off Marseille.
One viewer posted: “So I’m watching sailing at the Olympics, and uh, are the sailors supposed to twerk?”
And when another fan asked her, “Do you understand physics?” she responded: “Sure, there’s vanilla speed and then twerk speed.”
The sailors’ energetic style left even the sportiest of viewers in awe.
The competitors leaned over their one-person boats bumping and grinding as they strove for extra efficiency.
One fan joked of the sailors turning to twerking: “Finally found a way to harness its power.”
Another viewer even suggested a twerking legend could make the switch from rapping tunes to ripping tides.
He wrote: “With three months training Meg Thee Stallion could dominate this sport.”

A few sailing lovers questioned if the watery version of the hip-thrusting technique should be allowed at the Olympics.
However, such pumping and rocking is allowed in some classes.
One viewer explained: “They’re gyrating to improve sailing momentum and top speed.”
