The title of sport’s most iconic celebration has been awarded to Frankie Dettori, beating out the likes of Cristiano Ronaldo, Mo Farah, and Chloe Kelly.
Dettori’s famous flying dismount takes the top spot
Frankie Dettori, the world-renowned jockey, will be retiring from his British racing career at Ascot on Saturday. His famous flying dismount has been voted as the most iconic celebration in the world of sports.
Ronaldo’s siu celebration comes in at second place
Cristiano Ronaldo's signature "siu" celebration took second place in the poll conducted among 2,000 UK sports fans.
Usain Bolt's lightning bolt takes third place
Olympics legend Usain Bolt's iconic "lightning bolt" celebration secured the third spot in the rankings.
Mo Farah's Mobot and Paul Gascoigne's dentist chair complete the top five
Mo Farah's famous "Mobot" celebration and Paul Gascoigne's infamous "dentist chair" celebration ranked fourth and fifth, respectively.
Chloe Kelly's shirt-waving celebration makes the top ten
Chloe Kelly's shirt-waving celebration after scoring the winning goal for England at Euro 2022 landed her in sixth place on the list.
Football dominates the lower rankings
Football celebrations filled the lower rankings, with Alan Shearer's raised arm in eighth place, Peter Crouch's "robot" dance in ninth, and Emi Martinez's golden glove celebration in tenth.
Frankie Dettori's flying dismount transcends sport
The poll, conducted by BetTrev, shows that Frankie Dettori's celebration tops the list due to his longevity in the sport and his ability to captivate audiences with his flying dismount. Trevor Dunne, a bookie from BetTrev, praised Dettori as racing's first true global superstar.
New version of the flying dismount?
With Dettori's retirement, the question now arises as to which jockey will bring a new version of the flying dismount to the winners' enclosure.
Punters in the US will have more opportunities to see Dettori's dismount as he has announced his decision to race only in the US next year. However, bookies believe there is a chance he will return to Royal Ascot despite the jockey himself considering it a longshot.
