Tonga flag-bearer's oiled torso sparks social media frenzy

[@razorback9926]

He is the first person to make the Opening Ceremony must-see TV.

[@370H-SSV]

When I saw him return for the opening ceremony for Pyongchang 2018. The commentators on NBC lost it and so did everyone else

[@missmahe8499]

Still so proud of this! 🇹🇴❤️

[@fundifferent1]

He knew exactly what he was doing.

[@mbucd]

There were a lot of wet seats in that stadium and it wasn't raining

[@aliavi2400]

It's traditional to this especially when dancing Tonga and my island samoa we do this when perform usually the men

[@Railhog2102]

[@jenniferbice8998]

I've liked him since his debut in Rio in 2016. I've been following him on social media since. He's more than a pretty face. He does a lot of humanitarian work in his native country of Tonga.

[@jaimeperez7000]

Me pregunto si a este Sr. No lo penalizaron como lo hicieron con el compatriota mexicano que se quito el cubreboca? O también necesitaba despojarse de la ropa para que no sucediera eso? Por que también el mexicano tiene bastante por enseñar. 🤣🤣🤣

[@MVT1980]

Narcissistic much?

[@CommentFanatic]

Heru- deshet It's a traditional, cultural costume (yes even the coconut oil). Nothing narcissistic about it.

[@heru-deshet359]

I didn't mean the costume. The observation was that he's showing off again, lol.

[@OmahaRiverDonkey]

Totally agree. He's an Aussie model getting others to fund his 2nd Narcissistic 15 minutes of fame. He didn't even finish one Taekwondo match because the score got too out of hand.
