This Canadian Swimmer Flips Off His Dad Before Every Race (& got caught on camera in Rio)

LAST WARING —- THIS IS NOT SAFE FOR WORK

Ok here it is…

In an interview with The Canadian Press, Santo said that his dad told him at 8 years old “You’ve got to build your confidence yourself and say “eff everybody else” that you’re racing. Every time you’re behind the blocks, give me the finger and I’ll give it back to you.”

The tactic seems to have worked! Santo Condorelli is currently fulfilling his Olympic dream in Rio!

Unfortunately the ‘gesture’ for his dad was caught on camera and he had to write an apology. Not really what you’d think a dad would teach his kid, but hey, he’s made it this far doing it.

GO CANADA!
