Team Italy’s Thomas Ceccon, aka “The Shark,” who became a breakout star at the 2024 Paris Olympic Games, was captured catching some Z’s outside in the Olympic Village’s park. An image of the gold medalist sleeping on a towel on the grass, next to a bench, was shared by a fellow Olympic athlete. It quickly went viral on social media.
Taking to his Instagram page on Saturday (August 3), Team Saudi Arabia’s Husein Alireza, who competes in rowing, shared a story exposing the Italian swimmer taking a nap and tagging the Olympic Village’s Saint-Denis location.
“Rest today, conquer tomorrow,” Husein captioned the sneaky snap.
