It's the 4th time I've seen it posted here :D
It reminded me of how similar his beating of the water etc was to what Kitajima did in Athens that several people here objected to (and I don't mean the faked splashing in this spoof), reinforcing that "celebration" versus taunting or whatever is highly subjective. Someone mentioned to me during the Olympics that there was an article someplace about how the arm pumping, muscle flexing type of stuff after a successful intense physical stress is actually an innate reflexive behavior common to all cultures.
