They discussed the hottest Olympics on record, but nobody mentioned the swimwear.
A Dutch swimmer has become an overnight hit with those inclined to admire his skimpy, revealing trunks.
The Netherlands chose orange trunks, with the most flesh-colored orange on the thighs. The swimmer looks naked.
Arno Kamminga, 28, became an instant celebrity on social media when his spotted swimsuit appeared on the pool deck.
“I’ll be watching,” one person wrote.
The Olympics is about more than just gold medals. It’s also about building a social media following to support yourself after you stop being an athlete.
Kamminga has spoken out about a severe issue in the lead-up to the Games.
Kamminga said the case of the 23 Chinese swimmers testing positive for a banned drug was a “lose-lose situation.” He questioned how the investigation was handled.
“It’s a lose-lose situation for everyone involved, including swimming fans and the Chinese swimmers.” “It’s hard to judge without knowing everything,” Kamminga said via Reuters.
“The problem is how it was handled. People are upset because they didn’t tell the truth.
“I don’t know if they’re positive or not.” I can’t say anything. I hope WADA was right. I’m just disappointed in how it was handled.
Kamminga said he might not shake Qin Haiyang’s hand if he beat him for gold.
“I’ll see.” “I’ll see how people react,” Kamminga said.
“It’s a bit hard.” I’ve trained my whole life for this. I want it to be fair.
“I want everyone to be on the same level. I hope he is, too.” If he wins a fair game, I’ll congratulate him. I’ve been beaten fair and square. “It’s a tough situation.”
