Dad bod. Father figure.
Whatever you call it, it’s not everyday you seem someone with a less-than-athletic physique getting attention at the Olympics — especially when surrounded by some of the world’s best athletes.
But one Olympic official had no shame showing off his “Dad bod” during primetime.
In a video from NBC, the man dubbed as “Bob the Cap Catcher” quickly went viral as he stripped to his colorful Speedo to dive into the pool and pick up the cap of American swimmer Emma Weber.
“Is there anything better on the pool deck other than that Speedo right there?” exclaimed NBC’s commentator.
Who do you call when a swim cap falls in the pool?

The man held the swim cap high as he exited the pool to rapturous applause.
“That was an Olympic moment,” said the broadcaster.
Talk about some comic relief, especially during tense competition.
And kudos to this guy for not having any shame, stripping down, and hopping into the pool just to save a lonely swim cap.
