Rio de Janeiro: Imagine a son sticking out his middle finger to his father in front of the whole world. Well, that is exactly what Canadian Olympic swimmer Santo Condorelli has been doing but only to "build confidence".

Sports figures across the globe have fallen into routines, habits, and superstitions that they believe are necessary to psyche them up and Condorelli is no different. But what makes it interesting is he has been doing this since the age of eight and the ritual was suggested by none other than his father, Joseph.
Frustrated at getting beaten by older competitors, Joseph asked his child swimmer son to "give the finger and I will give it back to you" as a means to build confidence.
While the ritual has often landed Condorelli in trouble and he even has had to apologise in the past, that hasn't deterred the son-father duo from doing the ritual at the grand arena of the Rio Games.
