U.S. Speed Skater Austin Kleba slipped while celebrating after he crossed the finish line in the 500m event at the 2022 Winter Olympics.
Celebrating on ice can be a slippery slope.
The 22-year-old from Illinois kicked off the event in the opening pair with Canada's Antoine Gelinas-Beaulieu. Kleba jumped out to a fast start off the line and finished with a time of 35.40 to edge Gelinas-Beaulieu and take a very early lead atop the leaderboard. While raising his arm in celebration, Kleba slipped backwards, fell to the ice and crashed into the wall.
