She did, in fact, decide that a little twerking performance would be the perfect way to celebrate her world stage bronze medal…until she realized how shocked the crowd was and started laughing uncontrollably.
Honestly, I don’t blame her; I think most of us would want to squat and celebrate if we were lucky enough to be on stage.
Not everyone thinks her victorious ‘twerk’ was acceptable; one of those folks is a BBC pundit who was covering the track and field event.
They were brief on their reaction to Newman’s spontaneous dance: “I’m not sure about that celebration.”
From the ‘fake hammy’ injury to the twerk, most social media users found the whole act funny, even if they may not be on board with the Canadian shaking what her mommy gave her.
Somebody asked, “Did Alysha Newman just pole vault AND work?” “GIRLS, LET’S GO!” According to someone else, “She’s having fun and will definitely turn a profit.” I wanted to mention that.
