Worn #onthisday in 2016 by taekwondo athlete Pita Taufatofua, Tonga's flag bearer in the @Olympics opening ceremony in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. He became a social media sensation in flip-flops, coconut oil, and a tapa cloth ta’ovala, a traditional Polynesian wrapped skirt. #OTDpic.twitter.com/Fz46jWDUha
Y salió el abanderado de Tonga, Pita Taufatofua. Ya lo fue en Río de Janeiro (taekwondo) y ahora como deportista de esquí de fondo en los Juegos de Invierno. Olímpico 100%. #PyeongChang2018pic.twitter.com/sAGps2qrw4
"The hot, shirtless Tongan flagbearer from Rio is BACK!"
Pita Taufatofua became an overnight sensation five years ago when he marched shirtless and in a traditional Tongan outfit at the opening ceremonies in 2016 and 2018. He is back for #Tokyo2020. https://t.co/lSzzr8Lsf4pic.twitter.com/bT2HlMoKhO
