Rio de Janeiro - Showboating British weightlifter Sonny Webster claimed a unique Olympic record on Saturday in the men's 94kg competition at the Rio Games.
"There's only one record I broke today - first man to ever compete in the Olympics with a hat on back to front!" he laughed.
The 22-year-old Englishman delighted a 4,000-strong crowd with his theatrics, confidently swaggering up to the barbell and then lifting - all with a baseball cap on the wrong way round.
"If it's the only record I broke it's a good one!" Webster said afterwards.
"It's always on backwards because if I hit it off, which happens sometimes when I have it on the other way, then it would be a no lift," he added.
Webster, competing in his first Games, lifted 148kg in the snatch and 185 in the clean and jerk for a combined total of 333 and sixth place in the Group B section.
