You have to be careful what you do in the Olympics.
Thousands of eyes are watching the world's most famous sporting event. Everyone looks forward to funny moments that they can send to group chats for a laugh.
No one is safe.
Cameras are everywhere — and they're not just filming the athletes.
So when a gymnastics official caught sneak peeks at American powerhouse Brody Malone, social media had a field day.
A short clip doing the rounds online showed the unidentified man sitting next to Malone before the 24-year-old was drafted into the race.
His eyes lingered on the athlete's bulging biceps and the expression on his face painted a thousand words.
“Holy sh*t” is at least two.
He quickly looked away, but the pull of Malone's tattered gear was too much.
He took another look at the bow as Malone was busy looking at the sky.
Smooth, my friend.
But he was not alone. Olympic fans have already jumped on the Malone bandwagon.
He is the latest athlete to have his body control fixed, after a tough test on the Dutch trunk yesterday.
The Dutch swimmer Arno Kamminga became famous overnight with those who were inclined when he came out of the pool with the smallest trunk, seen since Mardi Gras in February.
In a clear decision by the public relations team, Holland opted for the most flesh-colored orange on the thigh. The optical illusion almost makes it look like the swimmer is naked.
So when 28-year-old Arno Kamminga's tight figure graced the pool, he became an instant social media celebrity.
Maybe it's time they add a thirst trap event to the Olympics and be done with it, because of course everyone wants to read.
