Chanting a classic national sports song while also jumping and hugging, the Argentina national team brought the party to the Olympic opening ceremony.
Their enthusiasm was celebrated by many on Twitter. Many also noted their lack of social distancing during a controversial Olympic ceremony amidst a pandemic and COVID-19 numbers rising. Most Japanese citizens disapprove of the games being held during a state of emergency in their country.

As an Argentinian, I'm not at all surprised by the national team. Argentine's are passionate, especially about sports, and chanting and jumping is a huge part of our culture. In fact, I think that anyone surprised by this hyped-up entrance has clearly never been to Argentina because this is just how people are when it comes to sports, especially the national team.
