What would the Olympics be without some good old meme-esque content? Enter Arno Kamminga of the Netherlands, who competed in the Men’s 100m Breaststroke during Day 1 of Swimming and his “thirst trap” swimshorts.

In a decision that was clearly made by a public relations team, the Netherlands has opted for the most flesh-colored orange on the thighs of their trunks,created an optical illusion that made Arno appear almost naked, leaving people stunned on social media, as a person wrote on X (formerly known as Twitter):
“Definitely watching for the sport.”Atlanta marked the beginning of the “bodysuit revolution,” the outlet stated.
