A man in bright swimming trunks burst into the women's Olympic swim for the sake of a cap
During the 2024 Summer Olympics in Paris, a man in colorful swimming trunks jumped into the pool to get a cap from one of the competitors and made it onto social media and the media.
The situation occurred during the preliminary women's swim on Sunday. American Emma Webber lost her cap in the pool. When the swim was over, the man in colorful swimming trunks jumped into the water. After leaving the pool, he triumphantly raised his find, which was met with approval from the spectators.
Commentators called the man "Bob the Cap Catcher". It is unknown whether Webber got her cap back or it became a souvenir for an unknown diver.
