Imagine going through all the qualifications to become a tennis umpire, only to be shown the bird by a 13 year-old 

 

 

Hopefully this is a learning experience for the kid. I didn’t share the clip to poke fun a him. I vividly remember flipping off parents during high school cross country races, but thankfully those weren’t as public as this.

The problem is the ball was clearly out and not called no matter it was on the far side of the chair. Some of these tennis umpires in junior tournaments make big mistakes also forgetting what the game score is among others. So yeah, even a 13 year old can lose his temper when the umpire makes such an obvious error.

Especially a 13-year old, I'd even say

 

But since I assume he wants to eventually be a pro player, he does need to learn that you can't do this, no matter how clear the umpire mistake was. At least controlling your temper to some basic extent is part of being a professional as well.

 

And yes, I know Nick Kyrgios will not give this post a 'Like'

There’s a reason why  sports administrators have….shall we say…a somewhat mixed reputation.

Alexis Jandard with an unfortunate mishap during the opening of the new aquatics center for Paris 2024.

He is reportedly okay and able to continue training.

Jump to the race that starts about 47 minutes into this. And pay close attention to the breaststroke leg.
