Ghana reached the Africa Cup of Nations final last night and they commemorated by paying homage to the greatest all-male figure skating team of all time

The Black Stars’ victory over Equatorial Guinea last night might have been marred by crowd trouble, but that didn’t stop them from celebrating in style.

The Ghana team commemorated reaching the final of the Africa Cup of Nations using a technique that was championed in Will Ferrell’s 2007 figure skating comedy, Blades of Glory. Check out the Ghana players nearly pull off one of the most lethal fictional moves in figure skating, the Iron Lotus.

The only thing that let them down was the fact that they technically only completed half an Iron Lotus. Chack out the full move below, and you’ll notice that they left out by far the most dangerous parts of it. That’s just shoddy showmanship.
