A man wearing only a pink tutu and a monkey penis pouch crashed the 2018 Winter Olympics following ice the speed skating event medal ceremony Friday. And he's a "world-renowned streaker," just FYI.
Mark Roberts, who had previously crashed other Olympics and sporting games, had a message to share with the world, and he'd painted it on his torso: "Peace + Love."
In the video below, captured by a viewer watching the event on television, Roberts sneaks onto the rink and quickly begin to undress, before slipping on the ice a few times. It is unclear as to how quickly security guards were able to escort him off.
According to his website www.thestreaker.org, his first daring stunt took place at the 1993 Rugby 7's Hong Kong event. Some other events he has stripped down for include the 1996 London Marathon, the 1999 Rugby World Cup Final, the 2003 Tour de France in 2003, the 2006 Winter Olympics in 2006, and the 2008 Summer Olympics, Newsmax reports. On some of these occasions, he appeared to have been paid to promote brands or websites during his streak — this time, though, it seems he's sharing the good vibes just because?
In January, Roberts told Yahoo! Sports that he is very calculated about the timing of his nudity. “I can’t do it during the game,” he said. “It has to be before the game is in play. I don’t want to interrupt… I’m a professional.”
In 2013, National Police Agency inspector Ko Jun-ho told CNN that South Korea had passed an "overexposure law" for cases involving "public nudity and public indecency." Individuals who violated the law could be fined up to 50,000 KRW, though it is not clear whether Roberts will be charged. Even so, that fine is roughly $45, so it's probably a small price this streaker is willingly to pay for a lot notoriety — and an ice cold butt.
