The Olympic Games are barely half-way over, with another week of competitions to watch. However, it looks like one cameraperson is already bored and finding some new things to keep their attention.

During a woman's field hockey game, the feed cut for a few seconds of a cockroach crawling across a beam.

It was truly bizarre.


The incident came during the field hockey match between Spain and Argentina. Sports channel TyC in the latter country is responsible for the footage.

Argentina was up 1-0 and five minutes left in the quarter. The feed was showing a replay when it cut back to the field, only for viewers to be greeted by a cockroach making his way along.

Commenters online were a little confused.







No action was missed while the feed cut to the insect, as the feed was just showing a replay. It didn't affect Argentina who went on to win the match 3-0.

However, online the opinion of the cockroach soon moved higher than the Olympic games itself.

Many called for the roach to be its own Olympic star.







No word yet on how the roach placed in competition.

'Young Sheldon' Star Explains Why She Asked For An Intimacy Coordinator On The Show—And It Makes Sense

Entertainment journalist and Glamour magazine Senior West Coast Editor Jessica Radloff's new book, Young Sheldon: The (Juicier-Than-Meemaw’s-Brisket) Inside Story of the Hit Comedy, shared a story about actor Emily Osment joining the show in its fifth season that's drawing praise for her consideration for her fellow child star, Montana Jordan.

Osment, who began acting at age five, is one of a rare breed in Hollywood—a child star turned successful adult actor. It's a journey many kids have infamously stumbled on, but that Jordan has also successfully navigated perhaps in part thanks to Osment.

Texas GOP's Bizarre Text Warning Voters About 'Weirdo Furry Socialists' Sparks Mockery

A Texas political action committee sparked online mockery after multiple people independently told the San Antonio Current they received a text message urging Texans to vote Republican to keep so-called "furry Socialists" from choosing their leaders.

The message was sent Saturday alongside a photo purportedly showing a man wearing a fox-tail accessory as he left a polling location in Collin County. The message identified its sender as Texans for Common Sense, a political action committee funded entirely by Texans United for a Conservative Majority PAC, a far-right organization backed by West Texas oil billionaire Tim Dunn.
