Tonga Flag Bearer Distracted Us From Writing A Good Headline


Tonga Flag Bearer Distracted Us From Writing A Good Headline
It was an Olympic opening ceremony like any other. Fireworks, dancers, Gisele Bündchen walking a 500-foot runway. You know, the usual.
And then, as 207 nations paraded across a stadium and a world of onlookers watched from their television sets across the globe, one glistening, oiled-up man emerged.
The world stopped.
He kept walking with the Tonga flag gently blowing in the wind.
He wore his country's traditional tupenu... and was notably shirtless.
And then it happened. With one look into the camera, he smiled. He smiled at us all. Our hearts stopped.
