The metaphorical baton of Tongan athlete Taufatofua’s shirtless and oiled-up appearances as flag bearer at some point of Olympic commencing ceremonies changed into exceeded to American Samoa’s Nathan Crumpton on Friday. With Taufatofu now no longer competing in China, the eye as an alternative became to Crumpton, a Kenyan-born, Princeton-graduate skeleton racer, as he strolled into Beijing’s National Stadium to mark the professional begin of the 2022 Winter Olympics.
I'll now be cheering @NICrumpton at #Beijing2022 - after going shirtless in freezing temps he deserves some support. #AmericanSamoa #Skeleton

Just waiting for Twitter to go bonkers over oiled-up, shirtless American Samoa athlete (and model) Nathan Crumpton at #openingceremony for #Beijing2022 #Olympics #Olympics2022

Pita Taufatofua may not be there, but the athlete from American Samoa stepped up and kept the new tradition of shirtless, oiled-up South Pacific Islanders going strong. 😍 #OpeningCeremony #Olympics2022
