Reporter Gets Soaked By Sprinklers During Live TV Segment
(Match TV)

A Russian sports presenter has offered a lesson in perseverance after he completed a live television report despite being hosed by a water sprinkler.


Evgeniy Evnevich was presenting for Match TV pitchside at the VEB Arena before CSKA Moscow's home game against Akhmat Grozny when the grounds' watering system tracked directly across where he was stood.

Mr. Evenevich said he had not expected the sprinklers to be switched on, but managed to complete his report despite being sprayed in the head twice in quick succession.

“It's really hard to think in this moment, when the liters of cold water have showered on you," Mr. Evnevich told the PA news agency.

“It wasn't possible (to move) because I didn't see where the sprinkler was coming from…But I understood, that I'm live…And I should talk no matter what."

Mr. Evenovich said his cameraman had decided to move the location of the stadium report “for better footage" but they were caught out by the watering system.

“Of course I know about sprinkler, but it HAS NEVER worked before about one and half hour before the game," he said.

“I was really surprised."

The waterlogged reporter proved to be a lucky charm for CSKA however, as they went on to win the match 3-0 to pull themselves up to sixth in the Russian Premier League.

Pope Leo's Brother Sparks Outrage Over Vile Posts About Nancy Pelosi And Parents Of Trans Kids

The brother of Robert Prevost, a Chicago-born Roman Catholic Augustine cleric who last week became the newly-elected Pope Leo XIV, is facing heated criticism after some of his older Facebook posts resurfaced and revealed that he'd shared a video calling Speaker Emerita Nancy Pelosi a "drunk c**nt" as well as a transphobic meme about transgender children.

For instance, in an April 23 post, Prevost claimed that former President Obama desired “the total destruction of our way of life” and aimed to turn the U.S. into a dictatorship, adding that it would be “a racist one on top of it.” He had previously pushed a conspiracy theory alleging that “OBAMA WAS A CIA ASSET, PUT IN PLACE TO DESTROY THE USA.”
