Dutch swimmer goes viral at Paris Olympics for ‘revealing’ swimsuit

A Dutch swimmer had everyone on social media doing a double-take after emerging from the pool after a race this weekend.
Arno Kamminga became an overnight sensation not so much for his performance in the pool, but how he looked when he got out of it.Thanks to the decision made by those who designed the swimsuits for the Olympic team from the Netherlands at the Summer Games in Paris, many were wondering if Kamminga was even wearing more than his birthday suit in the pool.
With the a pattern featuring shade of orange that looks incredibly close to skin tone when wet, Kamminga looked like he was wearing nothing more than a small patch of fabric over his unmentionables after getting out of the water.
Users on social media, quite predictably, were quick to comment.
“Arno Kamminga you are still so important to me,” one user on X posted with photos of the swimmer.

“Definitely watching for the sport,” another user wrote.“IN PUBLIC? IS THIS LEGAL?” a third posted.
While Kamminga certainly got a boost in social-media presence from the event, unfortunately, the optical-illusion swimwear didn’t provide enough of a boost in the pool. The Dutchman finished sixth in the men’s 100m breaststroke final, finishing in 59.32 seconds, 0.27 behind Great Britain’s Adam Peaty and American Nic Fink, who tied for silver, while Nicolo Martinenghi of Italy won gold in 59.03.

We’re sure he’ll have plenty of eyes on him when he steps out of the pool, again.
