Okay, I need to post about something beautiful and worthwhile to balance out my last post.

SO: Mr. Pita Taufatofua, Tonga's magnificent flag bearer at the 2016 Rio Olympics. He is beautiful, determined (he endured injury, time in a wheelchair, over a year on crutches, and physical therapy, and is raising the money himself to cover his training and trip, and he can still use help!) and used his moment in the spotlight to highlight and honor his culture and country.

Also, he looks very pretty glistening with coconut oil. Or even without it. He has a fabulous smile.

Under the cut, my favorite picture I found of him whilst Googling. Read more... )
