You might have thought you'd be waiting four more years until you were #blessed with more hot photos of #TongaBae Pita Taufatofua shirtless - because yes, he's planning to compete at the 2020 Olympics in Tokyo. But no, you don't! I mean, for starters you could just creep his Insta (it's OK, we've all been there) but also, he stripped down again for the PyeongChang closing ceremonies. Never change, Pita.

This marks the fourth consecutive Olympic opening/closing ceremony at which he's been shirtless - and that's four out of four, a perfect track record. Shall we quickly reminisce? Yes, we shall!

Here he is, becoming the viral thirst trap we all know him as during the 2016 Rio opening ceremony:

Hamming it up at Rio's closing ceremony:

I bet holding hands with Pita is a thrilling, but greasy, experience? Someone pls confirm for me.

Back at it again earlier this month during the PyeongChang opening ceremony - we'd all joked about it (hoped for it) but who really saw it coming?!

And yes, back at it again (again) during Sunday's closing ceremony:

Now, because for some reason (fairness, I guess? womp womp) he can't be Tonga's flag bearer ALL the time, Pita walked during the Parade of Nations fully clothed. It was jarring, tbqh.

But as you can see in the photos above - and there's more to come below, you're welcome - he stripped down and oiled up later on in the ceremony for a cute photo opp moment with a group of other athletes, as well as the International Olympic Committee's president, where they all held up hearts and shared a message about Olympic unity and love and stuff except look I was mostly paying attention to the abs in the moment so the specifics were lost on me?

I'm sure it was a heartwarming moment for one and all, except for Pita who must have been not warm at all and, instead, left freezing his pert lil' butt off. So much so, in fact, that he appeared to have offered himself a slight concession to the weather and wore GLOVES! It's a slippery slope (ski slope?) from there to thermal nipple tassels and then, before you know it, he's not shirtless at all. And at that point, quite frankly, we can just cancel the Olympics entirely.
