Who does not remember Pita Taufatofua, the athlete from the kingdom of Tonga who caused a sensation at the Rio Olympics when he paraded in full opening shirtless and with a well-oiled torso?

Well, the handsome 36-year-old athlete - who from that moment rose to fame in networks - also practices winter sports. This Sunday, after representing his tiny country at the Winter Olympics in PyeongChang, South Korea, he did his thing again by parading with his spectacular torso in the air during the closing ceremony, just as he had at the opening ceremony..

Carrying the flag of the Polynesian nation - which has just 10,000 residents - Taufatofua appeared at the Olympic stadium with the body smeared in oil and the traditional skirt of his country called ta'ovala. The garment is worn by both men and women on their island, and is reserved for formal occasions, such as this Sunday's closing at PyeongChang.
