Tonga athlete Pita Taufatofua captured the attention of many a thirsty individual when he carried his country’s flag without a shirt but plenty of oil two years ago. He’s done it again.
Taufatofua qualified for the Winter Olympics in South Korea as a cross-country skier, after competing in taekwondo in the 2016 Olympics, despite never having been on skis before last year.
Again, he served as Tonga’s flag-bearer, and he rocked the same look, despite the freezing cold.
Naturally, Twitter took note, and was here for it:

The Tongan flagbearer says: “I won’t freeze. I am from Tonga. We sailed across the Pacific. This is nothing.”

Somebody bowl that Tonga flag-bearer down the luge track. It’s important that we see the slippery beefboy break the sound barrier.
