The social media influencer, with 83.9K followers on Instagram and 24.5K followers on YouTube, performed an L-sit, transitioned to a handstand, and finally exited the stage doing Portuguese footballer Cristiano Ronaldo’s trademark 'Siu' celebration. The word 'Siu' simply means 'yes' in Portuguese. So after Ronaldo scores, he jumps in the air and shouts 'yes!'.
