Skater flips double middle finger at foe

The double bird isn’t some weird new Olympic event, but it could be coming to Sochi anyway.

Dutch speedskater Sjinkie Knegt showed off his frustration at losing the 5,000-meter relay to Russia’s Victor Ahn at the ISU European Short Track speed skating Championships by giving him two middle fingers. The Dutch team would be disqualified for his actions, according to the Sydney Morning Herald.

“Of course I’m sorry,” he told Dutch media after returning home.  He added it that was done “out of emotion and frustration”.

The rivalry should continue in next month’s Olympics, with the two entered in similar events.

And in case you didn’t get the point, he’s really angry.
