About

If X Was A Sport or Lots Of Medals Guy is a trend on TikTok where a video of a swimmer putting on all of his swimming medals at once is edited after a selfie captioned with the phrasal template, "If X was a sport," "X" being something that the user is good at. The medal video was uploaded to TikTok in February 2022 and the trend became popularized in June that year, often used alongside ironic or self-deprecating captions like, "If being jealous was a sport."
