Pita Taufatofua, best known as Tonga’s shirtless Olympic flag bearer, hit the slopes Friday for the first time in the Pyeongchang Games. He finished in 114th place in the 15km cross-country skiing event, taking 56:41.1 to complete the course. Luckily, the disappointment will likely not sting too badly given that he had set a pretty low bar for himself to begin with. “The first step, finish before they turn the lights off; that’s number one,” the 34-year-old joked Wednesday during a press conference. “Don’t ski into a tree, that’s number two.”
