The Paris Olympics officially came to a close on Sunday, August 11, but one of the most breathtaking events happened outside the Stade de France stadium when a man was spotted climbing the Eiffel Tower.
“Some guy is climbing on the Olympic Rings at the Eiffel Tower. You can see him on the blue ring,” a spectator captioned a video shared on the social platform X. “He took ‘climb the Eiffel Tower’ too literally!” joked the poster.
The climber, wearing only a pair of shorts and no shirt, can be heard in another video saying: “Bloody warm, isn’t it,” according to Metro.
Alas, his Olympics stunt came to an abrupt end as police escorted him off the viewing platform.
