A TV camera operator has been slammed on social media for showing a COCKROACH during a hockey match at Tokyo 2020.
Argentina were taking on Spain in Pool B of the women’s hockey event.
With the former leading 1-0 with around five minutes to go, Argentine coverage of the match decided to focus on a pitchside cockroach.
The commentator on TyC Sports simply said: “La Cucaracha.”
And the moment has baffled fans online.
One scathingly wrote: “Olympic athletes competing at a high level? Not interested. Cockroach waddling? Si.”
A second joked: “When you get a sports media job, but you’re not that into sports.”
And a third sighed: “That roach did not need that much screen time.”
Although a fourth added: “Give this little guy a gold medal.”

They have since beaten China 3-2 and Japan 2-1.
But they fell this morning to Australia, perdiendo 2-0.
