    “Totally cheating! Most divers have 2 legs but he has 3!” read one cheeky comment, while another said, “Jules has got the jewels!”

    Another admirer humorously remarked, “I just really hope his speedo is getting paid time and a half.”

    The comments didn’t stop there, as others also felt his swimwear was doing some serious heavy lifting.

    “He fills out a speedo very well,” one commenter chimed in.

    Those Speedos are working overtime at this point,” another wrote.

    One said, “IDGAF about the Olympics can someone just tell me when French diver Jules Bouyer is on TV.”

    The pair went viral for posting a thirsty shower photo about a week ago with the caption, “Welcome to Paris 2024.”

    22-year-old Jules underwent shoulder surgery in July 2023, just ten days after becoming a world championship bronze medallist, according to his Olympics profile.

    “We had thought beforehand about the best time to have surgery because I was in a lot of pain and it was necessary,” he said in an interview in February 2024.

    Following his recovery, he was back to the poolside by October to continue his training. He said he had help from a mental performance coach, Cecilia Delage, post-surgery.

    Fans have taken to social media to rave about Jules’ trunks, making his swimwear a viral topic

    “I work with her a lot. I also watch diver videos or my dives. I looked back at last year’s dives to see what I missed, what was good and what wasn’t so good, to self-correct and see what I could improve. I did some dry rehearsal. I imagine myself in my head on the board and I rehearse on the floor,” he said in the same interview.

    Diving is among the most keenly watched events by fans at the Olympics, captivating audiences with its breathtaking combination of athleticism and artistry. Each dive is a suspenseful spectacle, leaving viewers on the edge of their seats as athletes perform gravity-defying feats with precision and grace.

    China has so far secured more diving gold medals than any other nation, surpassing the once-dominant United States for the top position on Monday, according to AP News.

    Athletes Lian Junjie and Yang Hao claimed a victory in the synchronized 10-meter platform event, earning China’s 49th gold medal in the sport.

    While some records also credit the U.S. with 49 golds, the International Olympic Committee (IOC) categorizes a 1904 win in the now-defunct “plunging for distance” event as swimming, not diving.

    Following clarification from the IOC, China’s achievement is now unrivaled.

    Lian and Yang’s clinch of the top spot on the podium left famous British diver Tom Daley—a five-time Olympian who won gold at the same event in the 2020 Tokyo Olympics—with a silver medal on Monday.

    “Obviously, China dived absolutely incredibly today. They showed incredible form,” he said. “Every single one of their dives was flawless.”

    Tom was accompanied by his husband, Dustin Lance Black, and their two children at this year’s Olympics.

    “One of the main reasons for coming back to diving was to be able to have my kids watch and they’re all coming. My husband, the kids, my mum, my grandma, all my friends, aunties, uncles… We managed to get a lot of tickets this time around as I was a bit more prepared on the ticket front,” he said ahead of the games.

    The father-of-two said this time, the Olympic gold medal was having his children watching their father compete in one of the most talked-about events in the world of sports.

    “For me, my Olympic gold medal at this time is having my kids there to watch – and that’s really the thing that I’m looking forward to most going into this competition. I know lots of people have been all, ‘If it’s anything less than gold will it be a disappointment?’ But actually, no,” he said. “This time round, I’m really proud of myself that I was able to take two years off and set my mind to something and work really hard for it and then get there. And I think that’s the big thing that I wanted to do, set an example, even to my kids that if you have a dream and you want to set your mind to it, you can get there.”

    The Paris Olympics has certainly had some viral-worthy moments so far, including one served by Arno Kamminga.

    The athlete from the Netherlands competed in the Men’s 100m Breaststroke on Day 1 of swimming. Despite finishing in second place, he captured the attention of social media users with his “thirst trap” swim shorts.

    If the diver were female and some of the innuendo was about her physique....it would be considered highly inappropriate. Same standard should apply to lewd comments about guys.

    Agreed. These comments are borderline sexual harassment. They are disgusting and sexist. If people were commenting the same things about a woman’s breasts, the internet mob would get out their pitchforks and torches. I’m female and I LOATHE that people think it’s totally “fine” to make gross sexualized comments about a man’s lower bits, but those same people scream bloody murder when others make gross sexualized comments about a woman’s breasts or buttocks.

    Honestly, BoredPanda? 🙄 Enough with these damned articles- this is flat out sexual harassment. It’s disturbing and flat out cruel to constantly objectify these athletes. It’s a freaking human body! I haven’t seen one article yet actually speaking about the amazing athleticism of all these athletes. BoredPanda is the most hypocritical site ever. They censor words like W***y and d***s, yet think it’s alright to shame and humiliate male athletes. I’m disgusted by this site anymore.

    Oh for gosh sake. These are top athletes at the absolute highest level of their sports and you're looking at their genitals? "Oh Heavens To Betsy We Must Clutch Our Pearls!!! Someone has a penis!!!" Get over yourselves and stop looking. Do you also full on stare at men walking down the street looking at their groin area? Do you also get offended if you see a naked mannequin in a shop window? Do you literally vomit if you see an aubergine in the supermarket? 🙄

    Sorry I made a mistake with my post - sortof repeated a line. Shoudl have been: So he had a large "bulgë in his trunks - probably because he has a large "package"" . Drawing attention to it was unkind and unncessary. He has the body that nature and DNA gave him - he certainly had nothing to be ashamed about.
