Croatian water polo player Josip Vrlic has become the talk of the Paris Olympics because of his unique figure.
Then-36-year-old center Josip Vrlic had retired from the Croatia water polo team ahead of the 2022 European Championships, but something made him change his mind and now he is playing for a medal at the Paris Olympics.
The 38-year-old is the oldest athlete at the Summer Games and is trying his best to bring his country a Gold medal.
His age is not only noteworthy, but so is his weight.
Josip Vrlic should be on a basketball court or football field as he is 6-foot-6 and 298 pounds.
Vrlic is currently going viral during these Olympics as he sports a dad bod that defeats all other dad bods.
