In the five years since his bare, oily chest made him an instant Olympic sensation, Pita Taufatofua, the Shirtless Tongan Flag Bearer, has been busy.
He picked up an entirely foreign sport, cross-country skiing; learned it via YouTube and 5 a.m. roller-skiing sessions; hopped to a dozen countries in eight weeks; ran up $40,000 in credit card debt; drove through an Icelandic snowstorm to reach an Arctic fjord; and, on the last day possible, qualified for the Winter Olympics.
He went shirtless again in PyeongChang despite freezing temps, and on late-night TV shows in between Olympics.
