The Dutch swim team’s performance at the Paris Olympics is grabbing major attention on social media, thanks to their swimwear that looks almost invisible. Many viewers joked this might be a clever tactic to distract opponents, while also praising the organizers for choosing camera angles that really flatter the athletes.
Across social media forums, images of the Dutch swimmers stepping out of the pool in their soaking wet, barely-there suits are spreading fast. Many viewers humorously said these “ultra-thin” suits deserve an extra 5 points right from the start. Besides the funny comments, some are curious about the special material, could thinner really mean faster?
“I bet a lot of people are rushing to Shopee to find this swimsuit now. I wonder if feeling shy actually makes you swim faster? Haha, it must be some pro-level fabric, you can tell it’s top-notch just by looking. And how does it even change color?” one netizen joked. The whole thing also made many people suddenly grateful for their own darker-colored swimsuits.
“After this, people will definitely think twice about their swimwear choices. Gotta admit, watching those guys in bright suits swim so fast is wild,” another viewer shared with a laugh. Many are also loving the Olympics this year for all the hilarious and awkward moments, making it super entertaining.
“Oh my gosh, what kind of performance is this? It feels both crazy and strangely calm at the same time. If he stood there a bit longer, the commentators would probably run out of things to say,” read another funny comment.
