Front-row seats at the Olympic archery finals. Complete silence required as the gold medal contender draws their bow. You could hear a pin drop when—PFFFT—a barking spider releases at the exact moment of the arrow's release.
The archer still hit the bullseye and won gold. Later told reporters that the unexpected sound actually broke their overthinking and helped them focus. The barking spider was credited in their victory speech.
