“Can we just give the gold medal to those abs?” one user tweeted. “Italy’s abs should be a UNESCO World Heritage Site,” quipped another. And my personal favorite: “I’m not saying I booked a flight to Italy, but I’m not NOT saying it.”
Hottest swimmer at #Olympics is definitely 🇮🇹 Italy’s #ThomasCeccon 😍

The frenzy only grew after he won his first gold medal in the men’s 100m backstroke event, making history as the first Italian to win a medal in that event. Social media erupted once again, with comments like, “He’s got the gold and the abs? Talk about winning!” and “Move over, Michelangelo, there’s a new David in town.”
