France does such a French thing to celebrate volleyball gold at Tokyo Olympics

Call it a cancan-do attitude.

The French men’s volleyball team danced after beating the Russian Olympic Committee in a five-set final at the Tokyo Olympics on Saturday.

But the team didn’t just do any dance. To mark the occasion of its first gold medal in the history of the Summer Games, the team made the cancan. Type of.

High kick movements have their origins in France at the beginning of the 19th century. Way to stay French, guys.

But the players definitely need training.
