Qin Haiyang is a force to be reckoned with. In the Swimming World Cup 2023, the athlete frequently hit the headlines for his staunch moves in the pool. In leg one of the World Cup, the athlete remained undefeated after clinching three medals. Interestingly, in the second leg held in Athens, Greece, the athlete continued his winning streak with dominating performances.

Amid these staunch wins, Haiyang followed in the footsteps of streamer IShowspeed to have his Christiano Ronaldo fanboy moment on the podium. As most people are aware, IShowSpeed is Ronaldo’s biggest fanboy on the internet and real-life. The streamer turned YouTuber is known for re-enacting Ronaldo’s celebrations on every joyful occasion. While Haiyang did not publicly re-enact the infamous “Siu,” his winning pose resembled the footballer’s past celebrations.  An intriguing comparison between the two athletes has been posted on social media. It has caught the attention of many fans.
