What's the one bottom left corner? What's up with the opposing team in their uniforms?

Needs more Australian break dancing
Where Gojira?
Great collection. Though I feel like the picture of Remco Evenepoel (cyclist) should have been the one where he stands legs and arms wide open with the Eiffel tower in the background.
They left out the cuban wrestler Mijan Lopez. After winning his fifth consecutive Olympic Gold Medal in his discipline, the Cuban giant retired from wrestling. His sneakers on the middle of the mat were certainly an Olympic image, considering the discipline and his achievements.

What's the story behind this one?
Not sure if actually dating or not, but at least joked about the being a couple - https://www.scmp.com/sport/paris-olympics-2024/china/article/3272185/chinese-olympic-gold-medal-winners-pose-sparks-social-media-jokes-about-relationship
They're a ~~lesbian couple~~ from China where LGBTQ people aren't exactly accepted or welcomed by society.
EDIT: Done some research and I couldn't find them confirming being romantically involved, however there's a different image where Chang (the one being carried) makes a heart shape with her arm, so who knows really ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Thanks, I didn’t even notice same gender, and just assumed it was a breach of courtesy or something to not just stand there
Its interesting. After some looking around and linked posts, this is not entirely true or at least confirmed.
Chen picked up Chang in a bridal carry for a photo after they receiving their gold medals, which led many netizens to joke that Chang and Chen are in a romantic relationship
Is the 'bridal carry' what the american diver next to them is surprised at? Seems like an overreaction to me if its only that
That's a totally believable action if you just saw someone doing something you perceived as romantic, and you didn't know they were together, and also you're a big fan of them so you like that they're together.
That's exactly the face I'd make I'd I realized two people I liked were a happy couple.
