His zealous celebration won hearts on the Internet with several among the Twitterati commenting on how his reaction was how a coach should ideally react after a win.

The netizens also lauded the coach for being so passionate about the sport.

Ugh. This is going to get played all over and he’s going to get so much attention, but as an actual coach he throws up soooooooo many red flags. I’m happy for Ariarne tho. (But if you have to rationalize why he’s terrible to you - take your medal and get the eff away from him)
