Be brief about it, spectators appreciate the teeny trunks

-

THE Olympics Games are spectator sports but what’s been getting some of the most “viewing time” are the men’s swimming events and it’s all because of their tiny trunks.

Olympians participat­ing in the diving and synchronis­ed swimming events are wearing the briefest of briefs in Rio, making V-line abs ogling a sport in and of itself.

So small are the swimming trunks that TV channels’ athlete’s statistica­l infor mation banners placed across the swimmers’ nether regions made them look naked with swimmers’ and divers’ Adonis line peeping out.

Since the swimming events have started, the Twitterver­se has been ablaze with cheers, jokes, jibes and pure unadultera­ted perving of perfectly for med male specimens in teeny-weeny cozzies.

@katehelenc­arter: Funding cuts have clearly slashed the fabric budget.

Anyone started a petition yet? #olympicdiv­ing

Other users stuck to remarking that the trunks were quite small;

@MarloStimp­son: There are some very teeny, tiny bathing suits in the #OlympicDiv­ing #Rio2016

One other Twitter user wondered about the legality of wearing such brief-briefs:

@langiesmit­hz: “It must be illegal to wear pants that small” #commentato­rLange

And finally one person wrote: @wbnqsusan #olympicdiv­ing #diving I think these guys would be less naked if they wore nothing at all. Such perfect health.
