“We wanted to give ‘it’ a gold medal and protect that front truck of his for many Olympics to come.”
“We’re calling it ‘The Family Jules,’” Shinesty said, adding that the hypothetical line of clothing will come equipped with a “reinforced crotch.”
The company, known for its ‘Ball Hammock Pouch Underwear’ line of products, already reached out to Bouyer’s family and Olympic authorities in hopes of securing a deal with the 22-year-old swimmer.
Bouyer didn’t seem to becomfortablewith his objectification, however.
“I prefer people to look at my dives rather than myswimsuit,” he said, according toL’Est Républicain.
Jules competed in the men’s synchronized 3m springboard alongside Alexis Jandard, but they were unable to secure any medals after scoring 5th with 369 points
“The first dream is to win a medal and do that for every person in France who watches us hopefully do the best competition possible at theOlympics,” the athlete said in aninterviewwithWorld Aquaticsprior to the event.
“The second (dream) for me and Alexis, too, is that we want to grow the diving family with small clubs, big clubs and new pools, because right now in France it (diving) is not very popular.”
“We also want to inspire the kids watching, and now we hope that if kids see us and want to join us, they now have facilities that will allow them to do this.”
“I demand that a popular commission of inquiry be launched immediately to find out whether Jules Bouyer’s jersey is really too tight, or not. I propose to be its president,” said one French viewer on X.
“One academic topic in which I am extremely interested now is French diver Jules Bouyer. I find this subject very intellectually rewarding & intriguing. This subject is something I think many others would also enjoy studying,” another wrote jokingly.
“Olympic diver Jules Bouyer’s huge talent is truly eye-catching,” said one fan sarcastically.
“Jules Bouyer, a Speedo that makes you hot at the Olympics,” wrote the French paperLibération.
This is not the end of the road for Bouyer, as he is set to compete in the singles version of the event on August 6, 2024, where he’ll have another shot at Olympic glory.You May LikeTitan Sub’s Eerie Last Moments Exposed In Newly Released Audio: “A Disaster Waiting To Happen"Lei RVHusband Defends “Incredible Mother” Who Shot Her Four Daughters And Then Herself: “Sick And Wrong"Lei RVWoman Gets Her Hands Bitten Off By Shark After Attempting To “Engage” With The Animal For A PhotoRenan Duarte
