Glistening Shirtless Tongan Athlete Pita Taufatofua Returns for Rio 2016 Closing Ceremony

صورة
From: Towleroad  Tongan taekwondo athlete Pita Taufatofua , who caused a stir two weeks ago when he appeared during the Rio 2016 Opening Ceremonies shirtless and glistening with oil, made a repeat performance at last night’s closing ceremonies. Wrote Taufatofua on Instagram: “And now they know!!#WhereisTonga Congratulations to the best ever Tongan Olympic team! And to the beautiful people of Brazil for a Marvelous Olympics… We did it!” Taufatofua did not win a medal, but he became more famous than many who did, and was perhaps the most popular ambassador for Tonga that the nation has ever had. Sports Illustrated reports: “I was here because it took me 20 years to get here,” he said. “People thought I walked out with a shiny body and was an overnight success.

Pita Taufatofua competes in taekwondo and looked really good carrying the Tonga flag shirtless in the Opening Ceremony of the Rio Olympics. From: OutSports His name is Pita Taufatofua , and chances are you noticed him carrying the flag for Tonga in the Opening Ceremony of the Summer Olympic Games in Rio. Going shirtless in the warm Brazilian evening, he caught a lot of people's attention.  Taufatofua competes in taekwondo in the Olympics, in the over 80kg class. He is the first athlete from Tonga to ever compete in taekwondo in the Olympic Games. . His competition was not until Saturday, Aug. 20; It doesn't get much later than that. It makes it all the more cool that he carried the Tongan flag, given he had to wait and train in Rio for his competition.  Last year it was (then-closeted) gay swimmer Amini Fonua who carried the flag for Tonga in the Opening Ceremony. Fonua competed on Saturday, Aug. 4, in the 100-meter breaststroke.

*coconut oil sales shoot through the roof* From: NewNowNext   Pita Taufatofua , the beautiful Tonga flag bearer who quenched the thirst of millions when he walked into the Olympic Opening Ceremony, showed off his glistening muscles again on the Today show.  Speaking with Al Roker, 32-year-old professional taekwondo athlete revealed the coconut oil he was slathered in is actually a cultural tradition, as was the straw ta’ovala (Tongan mat) he had wrapped around his torso. “It was crazy. It was 20 years worth of work to get me there,” Taufatofua told Roker. “It was sort of surreal, hard to describe. It’s a crazy feeling.” Taufatofua appeared to have more to say but the interview cut quickly, as three ravenous female co-hosts including Hoda Kotb and Jenna Bush Hager, were anxious to get their hands on him.
