Of 207 athletes carrying their country's flag flag one stood out during the Opening Ceremony of the Rio 2016 Olympic Games.
Tonga's Pita Nikolas Taufatofua drew a massive cheer as he entered the Maracana stadium bare-chested and wearing nothing but a ta'ovala (Tongan mat) and a lot of oil on his torso.
Taufatofua, who was born in Australia but grew up in Tonga, is Tonga's first Olympic taekwondo athlete.
Also a part-time male model, Taufatofua is one of the seven athletes competing for the Polynesian kingdom, which has only won a medal in its history, a silver in 1996.
