A random man wearing an eye-catching pair of trunks became a hero at the Paris Olympics after volunteering to dive into the pool to retrieve a cap.
The hilarious moment happened after the stranded swimming cap caused a delay in between the preliminary heats in the 100m women’s breaststroke.
The cap had fallen off the head of Team USA’s Emma Webber and needed to be removed ahead of the next heat with various cameras installed at the bottom of the pool. Up steps a mystery man who was ready for his big moment.
Like many heroes, the volunteer stripped down into the right attire. A loud pair of budgie smugglers stunned the crowd as he performed a dive any Olympic swimmer would have been proud of.
