Here's a story all about how a flag got flipped turned upside down.

Ivory Coast athlete Murielle Ahoure destroyed the opposition in her 60m final at the World Indoor Championships.

She won gold and wanted to celebrate, then realised she had no customary winner's flag. 

There was none to be found anywhere so some Irish fans handed her their own!

She told Gabby Logan on BBC Sport about her quick flag grab. Watch here

At least Murielle can tell the difference between the flags.

Isn't that right Wayne?
