Sporting a charmingly “nerdy” look, Xu Zhuoyi won over fans at home in China as he dashed into Thursday's 110-metre hurdles semi-final.
With his bookish demeanor and complete with glasses, Xu transformed into a blur of speed on the track, surging forward in the waning moments of his heat to finish first.
But it wasn't his result that became the talk of the town – rather it was the “glasses flyer's” endearing guise.
Fans marveled at how Xu's glasses remained perfectly in place as he cleared the hurdles, with some quipping that he mistakenly entered the wrong Olympics.
“He took the wrong flight. Instead of Math Olympiad he flew to Paris?”one wrote on X.
