Cesar Cielo's Top 5 Post-Race Celebrations
At 30 years old, Brazilian superstar ​Cesar Cielo​ does not show signs of slowing down anytime soon. Tuesday at the 2017 Maria Lenk Trophy, also considered the selection meet for the Brazilian World Championship team, Cielo dropped a spicy 21.32 anchoring the Pinheiros winning 200m freestyle relay squad.

This got us thinking. Cielo has always been widely known as one of the more, let's say, ​passionate​ swimmers out there. Between raucous, borderline terrifying, celebrations and tears of joy on the podium, Cielo certainly knows how to celebrate his victories.​

So without further ado, we present you: Cesar Cielo's Top 5 Post-Race Celebrations. Enjoy.​

World record. Standing on the blocks. No debate here.

Bonus points for longevity.



3.) July 25, 2011 -- Cielo Claims 50m Butterfly World Championship (23.10)

Tears automatically make the top three.

World record. Cap & goggle toss. Let it out, Cesar. You earned it.



5.) July 29, 2013 -- Cielo Reclaims 50m Butterfly World Championship (23.01)

What's more intimidating than a man screaming in clear goggles? I'll wait.
