SAILORS “twerking” in an Olympic gold medal race stunned viewers.
The vigorous wave-whipping, bottom-bouncing technique transfixed fans.
Some even questioned if the side-on gyrating was legal as competitors strained for extra speed on the Mediterranean ocean off Marseille.
One viewer posted: “So I’m watching sailing at the Olympics, and uh, are the sailors supposed to twerk?”
And when another fan asked her, “Do you understand physics?” she responded: “Sure, there’s vanilla speed and then twerk speed.”
The sailors’ energetic style left even the sportiest of viewers in awe.
The competitors leaned over their one-person boats bumping and grinding as they strove for extra efficiency.
One fan joked of the sailors turning to twerking: “Finally found a way to harness its power.”
Another viewer even suggested a twerking legend could make the switch from rapping tunes to ripping tides.
He wrote: “With three months training Meg Thee Stallion could dominate this sport.”

A few sailing lovers questioned if the watery version of the hip-thrusting technique should be allowed at the Olympics.
However, such pumping and rocking is allowed in some classes.
One viewer explained: “They’re gyrating to improve sailing momentum and top speed.”
