When Gisele Bundchen walked across the runway of Maracana stadium during the 2016 Rio Olympics opening ceremony, we were pretty sure she stole the show.
But that was before the Tongan flag bearer came into our lives.
Chiseled, oiled up, and donning what I can only assume is traditional Tongan dress, he walked into the stadium and immediately won the night.
One glorious, shiny Tongan gentleman. Phwoar!! #Tongapic.twitter.com/GKp6MfVmRR

He's like a Tongan Hulk Hogan. This guy just stepped up the flag-bearer game for years to come.
