Stay humble in victory dude, not a good look.

Yeah a bit over the top. Even Wilde was a bit surprised
Odd celebration and seemingly out of character.
glad he didn’t do that celebration at the Olympics !!
was it in reference to something?
Very cheeky, awesome to have some character a la Welch, Mc Cormack etc

What are you talking about? That was great. Wilde actually loved it, fans loved it, Yee loved it. Me thinks you older generation and probably don't appreciate competition? Yee is the best runner in Triathlon right now.
Was a bit surprised to see Yee behave like that given he's normally a pretty humble, down to earth, self-aware athlete.
Hopefully that OG hasn't gone to his head.
getting heated over a small 2 second long finish line celebration lol. Let people be happy they won
Lol. I actually think that was pretty funny.

If fans are encouraged to show emotion and cheer, why to do people get upset when the ATHELETE THEMSELVES do a little celebration? Anyone that has an issue is seriously lame and uptight, and they need to actually consider what life is and original thought.
Why are people discussing the triathlon here. Running only!

For you tri people, why did it look like the #2 guy just let him go? I guess he had nothing left, but he didn't appear to put up any fight at all.
I watched the video and agree that it was unusual and out of character for humble distance runner and triathlon types.
But it was literally not as bad as what every NBA player does after a massive dunk. The end-zone celebrations of the NFL are beloved and fun (most of the time). Why shouldn't runners and triathletes get to do the same thing?
Yee crossed his arms as if to say, "I just took care of business!" It is a rapper pose. Maybe he likes rap. I don't think it was that bad. It was directed at the camera in front of him, not at his competition (off to his side and behind).
There was no glaring or pointing or name calling or finger-across-the-throat or anything like that. And if you watch for 10 seconds after the finish, they are shaking hands. Here it is with a timestamp so you can just watch the finish, the "end-zone celebration," Wilde's justified annoyance, and then the handshake:

I mostly agree. My main qualm with his celly, however, is that it was criminally corny coming from him.

Training with tri-people is awesome! All of the benefits of the cycle without being pulled into a road cycling club abyss. They all still love running.

Hayden Wilde doesn’t have a single fast twitch fibre in his body
Jeez guys, it's Mbappe's trademark celebration he's doing. Anybody who watches football (soccer) knows this. My only qualm is that he's copying a celebration rather than making his own (eg 'the Yeet').
Wilde’s reaction made me lol. Bet Brownlee enjoyed seeing Hayden being put away again!!

The hardest thing for people to assimilate into their lives is success. Pity to see this.
My god you people hate fun. I went to watch the clip expecting to see him pumping his arms up at the crowd, pointing at a competitor, something super over the top like that. Instead he just crosses his arms and mean-mugs at the camera? Insanely understated celebration.
Track, triathlon, etc. will never be popular sports if you people never let those sports' biggest stars have a personality. Get a grip.
Think Wilde’s reaction was more of a bad look than Yee’s victory pose. If he doesn’t want Yee to do that, try beating him. Otherwise, take it on the chin and improve your sprint finish.
