Live TV reporting is Watch Serve the People Onlinea dangerous game -- anything can happen, no matter what field you're in. Or on.
Russian football journalist Evgeny Evnevich was in the middle of a live cross segment on Match TV, when the stadium's sprinklers started going off behind him.
"I'm going to be wet now, cause they've started to water the field," he said, as translated by Sputnik News. "That's why I will try to speak as fast as I can."
He powered on through the report, even as the sprinklers soaked him like he was in the front row at Sea World, flattening his coiffed hair with a power spray directly to the noggin.
It passed and he continued... only for the sprinkler to hit the end of its arc between him and the camera, and immediately reverse back towards him for another drenching.

Evenevich maintained his composure throughout most of the segment, but couldn't help but look resigned as the sprinkler came back for its second assault on his face.
After some ribbing on Twitter, Evenevich seemed to solve the mystery of why he was standing in the aggressive sprinkler's path: "It was good light!"
And haven't we all looked a bit silly for the sake of good lighting?
