After "breaking the internet" in Rio and racing down the slopes of Pyeongchang, Tongan athlete Pita Taufatofua has plans to make another big splash at the Tokyo Olympics.
The 34-year-old first made global headlines with a shirtless entrance as Tonga's flagbearer at the 2016 Summer Games, a feat he repeated at the Winter Games in South Korea earlier this year.
Pictures of the half-naked athlete went viral, prompting his claim to have broken the internet.

After representing his country in taekwondo and cross-country skiing, Pita Taufatofua said he planned to take up another sport in time for Tokyo 2020.
"One of the biggest things I do is I set dreams which are impossible and then find a way to get there," he said.
"On the 20th of August I will be releasing what that new sport will be and if and when I can achieve that then I will hopefully be the first male in history to do three completely different Olympic sports in three different arenas."
While he didn't want to give the game away just yet, Taufatofua confirmed his new sporting discipline would involve water.
