Reporter Gets Soaked By Sprinklers During Live TV Segment

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.

Kirk died after an unidentified gunman shot him in the neck as he—ironically enough—mocked victims of gun violence at an event in Utah Valley State University. Kirk's murder has galvanized the far-right, with President Donald Trump and his surrogates claiming without evidence that rhetoric from Democrats is responsible for Kirk's death.

TikToker Hilariously Calls Out Target After Champion Pants Feature Awkwardly-Placed Front Pleat

Sometimes you can just tell when something was designed *for* women, but was not actually designed *by* women.

Take, for instance, the new pleated pants available at Target from the Champion clothing line. While there's nothing wrong with pleated pants and they certainly have a suitable spot in the workplace, the latest rendition of Champion pleated pants are, shall we say, NSFW.

Let's be honest: Too much of anything isn't good for us. It's all about the balance!
