A mysterious speedo-clad legend with a dad bod has stolen the show at the Olympic Games Paris 2024 swimming and it was not me, I was busy judging the Games from the comfort of my couch (you’ll also be thankful to know that I do not own a speedo).
The mystery man popped up to save the day when a random object was spotted floating in the middle of the pool during the women’s 100m breaststroke heats, effectively halting the comp.

Our hero came to the rescue as a delighted crowd watched on. He stripped down, jumped in the pool to retrieve the object (which ended up being a rogue swimming cap) before hopping out.
He has has now garnered worldwide attention and has been hailed a hero — proving that, as the cliché goes — not all heroes wear capes. Some wear speedos.

Folks on social media are going wild for our hero, with one writing: “My man deserves #Olympics gold for walking out with the dad bod & diving in the pool to get a swimmer’s cap. Best moment of the Games so far in my book.”
“Haha, that’s hilarious! Kudos to the lifeguard in the speedo! Not all heroes wear capes, some just rock a speedo and save the day,” wrote another.
Meanwhile CBS’ Olympics reporter Devin Heroux figured out who the dude is.
“After hours of investigation I’ve confirmed who jumped into the water to get the swimming cap. It was a lifeguard in a speedo,” he deduced.
“Who was asked to get a cap at the bottom of the Olympic pool in between swims. He does not want to be named. Not all hero’s wear capes. Or much at all.”
