The Summer Olympic Games officially kicked off last night with the Opening Ceremonies in Rio with the Parade of Nations. I will admit that I'm not a huge fan of the Olympics. I enjoyed watching some of the competitions when they were in London a few years back and I absolutely loved the Closing Ceremonies that year. But I usually don't watch too much of the Olympics.
But my eyes are still sweating after watching Mr. Tonga (AKA Pita Nikolas Taufatofua) carry Tonga's national flag. He was all oiled-up and shirtless and now everyone is talking about this taekwondo athlete!

According to The Washington Post, Mr. Tonga is a 32-year-old athlete who was originally born in Australia. He works at homeless shelters and teaches "people the power of self belief."
