Cameraman films cockroach instead of hockey match
This year’s Olympic Games are giving patrons a good dose of viral news and videos. The latest one to send some viewers laughing was a clip from the women’s hockey match between Spain and Argentina as aired on an Argentinian TV channel.
Argentina stole the match while a cockroach “stole the laughs.” Wondering what that mean?
Well, just when a replay of a shot was to be played on broadcast, viewers saw a cockroach blissfully waddling on the field. The cameraman must have taken great interest in the creature as he focused on it for quite a few seconds.
But, perhaps to safeguard the cockroach’s privacy, the camera was soon turned back to the match. The clip, which had gone viral all over Twitter, amassed many reactions from people around the world with over five million views.
Some viewers called it the “animal Olympics.” Many were busy thinking about the cockroach and the five seconds of fame it received without asking for it.
One Twitter user exaggerated and called it a “cinematic genius” the way the cockroach turned to look towards the camera just as the commentator took its name.
Some users mused that the cameraman behind the act could be a wildlife enthusiast. On his behalf, a user implored National Geographic to give him a job.
Yet some others thought the production team was up for some fun with the switching of scenes between the match and a roaming insect.

A brown bear wandered into a hotel in Tibet and forced its way into a locked room with two guests inside.
Security camera footage from the hotel in Nagqu shows the bear wander down a hallway inside the building on Saturday and force its way through a door into an occupied room.
The guests in the room said they stared at the bear for a few seconds before it left the room on its own.
The hotel owner used a flashlight and other tools to scare the bear and chase it out of the building.The door has since been repaired and the hotel said it is adding additional security measures to keep bears out.
