The performance of the Dutch swimming team at the Paris Olympic Games is becoming the center of attention on social media, as athletes appear in outfits that are “almost non-existent”. Many viewers humorously suggest this is a distraction tactic against opponents, while also “praising” the organizers for their “thoughtful” choice of flattering camera angles.
On social media forums, images of Dutch athletes emerging from the pool in their soaking wet outfits are being shared at lightning speed. Many viewers wittily remark that this “thin as air” attire deserves an extra 5 points right from the start. Besides the humorous comments, some are curious about the special material of the swimwear, wondering if “the thinner, the faster”?
“I’m sure many people will rush to Shopee to search for this swimwear style immediately. I wonder if feeling shy makes you swim faster? Haha, it must be the special material of professionals, you can tell it’s more high-end. But how does it change color too?”, commented a netizen. The incident also made many people recall their own swimwear and silently thank themselves for sticking to darker colors.
“After this event, many people will have to think more carefully about their swimwear choices. It’s true that watching these athletes in bright outfits swim fast is something else,” another viewer humorously shared. Additionally, many expressed their amusement at this year’s Olympics for its numerous “laugh-out-loud” moments, providing “unforgettable” entertainment.
“Oh my God, what is this performance? It feels both crazy and oddly calm. If he stands there any longer, the commentator might run out of words,” quoted another humorous comment.
