It takes everything to become an Olympian — and absolutely **thing to do a chest bump.
Still, some struggleOn Sunday (http://www.dailyedge.ie/chest-bump-olympics-2919340-Aug2016/), the Canadian men's volleyball team came back from defeat to beat their Brazilian hosts. To celebrate the victory, Ben Saxton and Chaim Schalk went in for a chest bump and failed, miserably.
