A little red riding hood, a touch of beard, with such a costume, Matt Hamilton once became a hit at the PyeongChang Winter Olympics four years ago - at that time, he was called "Super Mario" on the curling rink by many netizens.
Unlike his nameless status when he competed four years ago, Matt Hamilton is now the defending champion of the men's curling event at the Winter Olympics and remains one of the most popular curlers at the Winter Olympics.
In Beijing, Hamilton and his teammates have removed Little Red Riding Hood and replaced it with a regular baseball cap, but Hamilton is still the brightest "boy" on the curling field — and that's because he's different.
Hamilton today has the familiar figure-of-eight beard, but even more eye-catching is his long hair and a pair of colored flat shoes.
About the long hair, Hamilton explained, "I would cut them off and donate them to a children's wig foundation. "Obviously, this is a good deed of a Winter Olympic champion.
"I'm working with a charity that wants to raise enough money for brain cancer research." In fact, since last April, Hamilton has been raising money for the charity called StacheStrong on his social media. The agency has raised more than $1.75 million in funding for brain cancer research.
As for his extremely eye-catching pair of colorful curling shoes, Hamilton's explanation is much simpler: "I just think they are very suitable for my heart, can show my personality." 」 ”
