On February 4, Beijing time, the opening ceremony of the Beijing Winter Olympics, which has attracted much attention, was held. At the opening ceremony of the Winter Olympic Games, Tonga's shirtless brother did not appear, and before that, he had participated in 3 consecutive Olympic Games.
Tonga flag bearer Beatta Tawfatofua became popular around the world for his unique look at the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games. He had previously served as a standard-bearer at two Summer Olympics and one Winter Olympics, and had been actively preparing for the Beijing Winter Olympics, but had not been able to appear at the opening ceremony.
Bitta-Tauffatofua explained on his personal social media that he did not qualify for the Beijing Winter Olympics, and due to the severe volcanic eruptions and tsunamis in Tonga, Bita-Tawfatofua decided to stay in Tonga to rebuild his home. "Now I have another important mission calling me."
Upon learning that Tawfatofua could not participate in the Winter Olympics because of the rebuilding of his homeland, the official social media of the Games paid tribute to the Tonga standard-bearer, "Pitta, you have shown us the best Olympic spirit. ”
