Handsome Olympian Has Viewers Simping Hard — And Sending Resumes

“I need this job! And I’m not talking about the Olympian.”

The 2024 Paris Olympics has gathered the world’s best athletes to compete, but one athlete in particular has viewers ready to switch careers.

Daiki Hashimoto is a Japanese artistic gymnast who took home two gold medals at the 2020 Summer Olympics, becoming the youngest Olympic All-Around champion at just 19 years old. He is now representing Japan at the 2024 Summer Olympics in Paris, alongside his teammates.
