French pole vaulter jumps the gun with celebration

Renaud Lavillenie of France took gold in the pole vault four years ago.

But tonight was a no-go. Lavillenie thought he had nailed it and jumped the gun with his celebration. Not only did he take the silver, but gold medalist Thiago Da Silva took the gold, AND broke his record. Ouch.

This is why we celebrate after we get the results.
