#10 – Robert Harting: German Guy Goes Cray
When a journalist shoves a microphone in your face right after you realize you’ve just won gold in the discus throwing event, what’s the most appropriate response? If you said ripping your shirt off like the Hulk and screaming, “YEEEEAAARRGGHHHHH!” then you read Robert Harting of Germany’s mind.
The 27-year-old discus thrower went completely ham after winning gold in his event. He raced to the crowd, ripped his shirt into shreds and wore the German flag like a cape. He then proceeded to run the womens’ 100m hurdles just for kicks.
If it wasn’t for the stringent drug testing that the IOC commissions for athletes, we might think that Harting was on bath salts. But alas, he was just running on pure adrenaline.
