Cocky Swimmers Own the Relay Competition - YouTube
It's not too often funny things happen in swimming (compared to other sports, in my opinion). This is pretty good though.

Not regarding the video, but about the line between trash talking (or cockiness) versus poor sportsmanship (or taunting)....
Personally I can remember crossing it one time. There had been no previous provocation so it was pure arrogance on my part. No excuses!
My coach responded by entering me in the 200 Open at the end of the meet. I got to experience what it was like to be overmatched and come in dead last. That taught me the lesson. I can't say I was always an angel, but I never again initiated poor sportsmanship during an athletic event.
