Netherlands "naked model" silver medal harvester
Netherlands' Arnault · Kamingha finished second in the 100m breaststroke, but it wasn't his results that impressed him the most, but his special swim trunk design. The entire swim trunk is flesh-colored except for the crotch, which blends in with the color of the athlete's skin, and from a distance it looks like a "nude model" appeared in the swimming competition of the Paris Olympics.
This special design of the swim trunks allowed the athletes to stand out throughout the competition, and even if he didn't finish first, Kamingha has become the focus of the Games. The image of the athlete is very important to attract more attention to the competition and the Olympic Games as a whole, and this attention is often based on the athlete's outstanding performance, including athletic performance, personal charisma, etc.
Some enthusiastic netizens said on social platforms that they did not plan to watch the swimming competition, but were attracted by the retweeted comments of various media, because they were too curious about what kind of "clothes" this Netherlands "naked model" was.
Some netizens joked in the comment section: "This is not a 100-meter breaststroke competition, it's a fashion show." "Nude model" Kamingha completed her competition in everyone's amazement and ridicule, and it can be said that she won the silver medal without shock.
Post-race interviews with reporters focused more on his swim trunks, and some media even labeled him a "fashionista". Cummingha himself was a little shy about such attention, and he even teased himself in his circle of friends: "I didn't expect these pants to be even hotter than my silver medal." ”
On the whole, this event is a surprise for the Paris Olympics, because few people can attract as many eyeballs as Cummingha with a pair of "pants", and the public's attention and discussion about the image of athletes is also a reflection of the event's tolerance for social and cultural diversity.
A second career for athletes
For Kamingha's swim trunk design, many netizens speculated that it may be his personal tricky idea, and some people think that this is the new "unified equipment" of the Netherlands swimming team, after all, you can still tell that this is actually a fabric, but it is very similar to the skin.
In an interview with the media, Kamingha said that the swim trunks were actually his own idea, and he only thought it was fun at first, and he didn't expect to use it at the Olympics. He also expressed surprise at such a response.
A reporter jokingly asked him in an interview: "Is this swimming trunk specially designed to attract the attention of more audiences?" After all, you're a pretty ecstatic swimmer. ”
Cummingha almost choked on his own saliva after hearing this, and he teased: "I really don't think of myself as a 'master of ecstasy', I can only say that this is the beginning of my second career." ”
I believe that through the exposure of this Olympic Games, the "silver medal harvester" Kamingha can quickly find the career direction that he really likes and is good at, and it is not a good thing to have more development outside of sports.
