One of my favorite things when watching the Olympics is seeing the athletes hug, especially the men.
Watching women celebrate is certainly fun, but in most cultures men are raised to not show affection, but sports seems to be a safe space. Gay men especially appreciate seeing stuff frowned on in other settings be celebrated.
Without further ado, here are some great photos of guys (and girls) hugging at thee 2024 Paris Summer Olympics.
