    Flavor Flav took his hype man talents to the Olympics to support the United States Women's Water Polo match.

    Flav was sitting next to Guy Fieri during a women's water polo Group B preliminary match between the United States and France, at the 2024 Summer Olympics , on Friday, Aug. 2, in Saint-Denis, France. Flav was already in celebration mode as he danced from the stands, cheering on the athletes.

    Flav had plenty to celebrate as Team USA was in the lead, by a lot, during their match against France. His sideline dance moves were captured when the US team was up, scoring an impressive 11 goals to France's 4. The match ended with the US coming out victorious, scoring a total of 17 goals.

    The rap legend has a lot at stake during these matches since he has been personally sponsoring the Women's Water Polo team. The camera panned to Flav who was showing off his killer dance moves, and jumping up and down as the US scored another goal. One fan reacted to the moment calling it, "All American joy."

    Flav was decked out in a patriotic ensemble, wearing a red, white, and blue polo shirt, matching sweats, and a USA hat.

    Flav has been a hit at the Olympics after he has been vocally and financially supporting the women's Olympic team. In May, he teamed up with the water polo team's captain, Maggie Steffens, who took to Instagram to ask fans to support her and her team members who were financially struggling to make their Olympic dream a reality.

    The Public Enemy group member stepped in, promising to sponsor the entire team in an effort to bring more attention to women's sports. "As a girl dad and supporter of all women’s sports — imma personally sponsor you my girl...whatever you need. And imma sponsor the whole team," Flav commented on Instagram at the time.

    Earlier this week, Flav was also quick to respond when another Olympian, discus thrower Veronica Fraley, took to X to share that she had not been able to pay her rent just a day from competing in the Olympics. The hype man reached out and told her he would pay the remainder amount so she could focus on her game. Alexis Ohanian, Reddit founder and Serena Williams' husband, then stepped in and sent her more than $7,0000.
