Official caught taking a cheeky glimpse at US gymnast Brody Malone’s ripped rig

A US athlete’s ripped physique has captured the gaze of countless fans, but none more than this not-so-obvious Peeping Tom.

You’ve got to be really careful with what you do at the Olympics.

Billions of eyes are watching the world’s most popular sporting event. Everyone’s on the lookout for a funny moment they can send to a group chat for a laugh.

Nobody is safe.

Cameras are everywhere — and they’re not just filming the athletes.

So when a gymnastics official got caught sneaking a cheeky glance at US powerhouse Brody Malone, social media had a field day.

A short clip doing the rounds online showed the unidentified man sitting next to Malone before the 24-year-old was set to compete.

His eyes glanced towards the athlete’s bulging biceps and the expression on his face painted a thousand words.

“Holy sh*t” were at least two of them.

He quickly looked away, but the gravitational pull of Malone’s ripped rig was too much.

He took another, more pronounced peek as Malone was preoccupied before quickly looking to the sky.

Smooth, mate.

‘Holy sh*t.’

‘Nobody saw me.’

One more to make sure.

Smooth.

But he’s not alone. Casual Olympics fans have already jumped on the Malone bandwagon.

Yep, people are losing it.

He’s the latest athlete who has built a following off his physique, following the equally hilarious Dutch trunks ordeal yesterday.

Dutch swimmer Arno Kamminga became an overnight hit with those inclined after exiting the pool with what appeared to be the skimpiest, most revealing trunks seen since February’s Mardi Gras.

In a decision that was clearly made by a public relations team, the Netherlands have opted for the most flesh-coloured orange on the thighs of their trunks. The optical illusion almost makes it appear as if the swimmer is naked.

So when 28-year-old Arno Kamminga’s tightly-fitted, spotted number graced the pool deck, he became an instant celebrity on social media.

It’s probably time they added a thirst trap event to the Olympics and be done with it, because it’s clear that’s all people want to read about.
