South Korean figure skater Alex Kang-chan Kam attracted the world’s attention on Monday when he was shown on TV wearing some Olympic sunglasses — and wait for it ...
Figure skater Alex Kang-chan Kam became an internet sensation at the Olympics thanks to his double sunglasses
He is the meme-lord of the Winter Olympics.
James Dator has been covering a wide range of sports for SB Nation for over a decade, with a special focus on the NFL.
The legendary sunglasses-under-sunglasses move has cemented Kam as the meme-lord of the Winter Olympics. During the opening ceremony he dabbed while marching.
An avid Redditor, Kam was blown away to the response people had to his double glasses, and said all the kudos he was getting on Reddit meant more to him than Olympic gold — because welcome to 2018.
Papa bless!
Edit: Thank you to every single comment for the kind words and thank you also for the golds! They mean more to me than olympic gold medals on this blessed day. This is unreal! Absolutely nutty! I love every single one of you. Here’s to more goofs and gafs and zoops and zaps!
When the Korean figure skating team was shown on TV he made sure to rep the “Vape Naysh” meme.
Make no mistake, Kam knew EXACTLY what he was doing with the hand signal — and has promised to show off the meme again if he ends up on an Olympic podium.
