When Matt Centrowitz races, he usually wins. And when he wins, he usually celebrates with an ode to pop culture.

Last year, when he won the Wanamaker Mile, he did his best to impersonate New York City’s favorite son: J.R. Smith. While that was actually pretty cool, I’m certain J.R. maybe never saw it and probably doesn’t know there is a sport where people run for money.

Anyways, here are the 7 most important questions about Centrowitz’ finish line celebration after he wins (I’ve never actually seen him lose, so I don’t know) the Pavvo Nurmi 2-Mile at this weekend’s Millrose Games.

Will Matt be happy or fake angry when he crosses the line?

This is an important question when it comes to celebrating and we’ve seen a mix of both in the past. He’s done that thing a lot where he acts super angry because in his mind he thinks people have doubted him (That’s rarely the case) and thought he couldn’t win. Like I said earlier, I’ve never seen him lose. After shifting to a gear no one else could even fathom having, he crosses the line and does that scary LeBron Silencer or a throat slash. I find that the people doing the angry celebrations are usually the most talented athletes. That’s weird because they are never the underdog, so they don’t deserve the “I TOLD YOU SO” celebrations.

I think Matt will do the fake angry because this is a two-mile race and he is the Olympic Champion over a distance just under one-mile, so he maybe thinks the extra 1,718 meters will put him at a disadvantage. (It won’t and he will win).

If Matt doesn’t win, does he still celebrate?

I think people should always celebrate when finishing a race. It is an accomplishment in itself. What if everyone started going BONKERS after they finished? It would make the sport much more fun to have the 10th place guy give the Sam Cassell Big Ball Dance.

That being said, I don’t think he will celebrate if he loses.

Did Matt tell Galen to do the baseball-bat celebration after he won the 10,000 meter final at the U.S. Olympic Trials?

This is how I like to imagine the text exchange that morning.

“Hi Matt. It is Galen. Alberto told me I will be winning the 10K this morning. What should I do when I finish first?”

“Act like you’ve been there before. Lol JK. Google NBA celebrations. That’s what I do.”

“Do you ask Alberto first?”

“Brb dude.”

Do high school runners get happy when Matt celebrates?

Very.

Are the Centrowitz Men Illuminati?

Stay woke.

What will his competitors think about his fake angry celebration?

Hopefully, they’ll all be too busy celebrating themselves. BUT, in the more likely scenario where they will not be too busy celebrating because they lost and we live in culture where losing is not celebrated enough, they probably will not care.

Will his celebration be based on a meme, a rap song, or a cooler sport?

ODDS

3:1 celebration is based on Migos’ current hit Bad and Boujee

Scenario: he races the last 200 meters in a raindrop, droptop.

1:1 celebration is based on Salt Bae

Scenario: Matt wins and then sprinkles the friendly confines of the Armory track in imaginary salt. Cooking aficionados and Big Electrolyte go wild.

2:1 celebration is based on an NBA star James Harden’s cooking celebration.

Scenario: Matt finishes the race in first place, feels as if he’s really cooking and then does the celebration. High schoolers everywhere rejoice.
