An 87-Year-Old Grandpa Flew To The Olympics For His Grandson's Girlfriend, But It's The Knitwear That's Too Adorable

The 2026 Winter Olympics logo.

I have been glued to the television far more than usual for the last week because the Winter Olympics have been fantastic, unless you're trying to watch figure skating a couple of days late. NBC has delivered two weeks of fun sports that you rarely get to see on TV. Whether you like to watch snowboarding or curling, there’s something for everybody. I thought I was a diehard Olympics fan, but I may have to reconsider that after seeing how hard an 87-year-old man has gone with his Olympic fever.

Meet Conrad Andringa. The man is nearly 90, but you wouldn’t know it from his unbridled Olympics enthusiasm that would make Snoop Dogg jealous. He traveled from Utah to Italy to see the Games. It's not simply to be there in person, or to see a family member compete, but to watch his grandson’s girlfriend, Tess Johnson, ski. Now he's going viral on TikTok, and did he go all-out in the wardrobe department or what? Check it out.
