Yahoo Movies Harry Dank Wins Tokyo Olympics Opening Ceremony Just For Being Harry Dank
Harry Dank trended like a champ during the Tokyo Olympics’ opening ceremony on Friday.
He isn’t competing. He didn’t go shirtless like the Tongan flag-bearer. He wasn’t even there.
But he is U.S. basketball star Sue Bird’s mother’s boyfriend, and he was shown watching Bird carry the American flag on the broadcast.
It was all about Harry. Fans on Twitter loved his recliner, his sneakers and his name.
Thanks, Harry, for just being you.
The guy who wanted to steal the show vs the guy who actually did. Just give Harry Dank the gold. 🥇 pic.twitter.com/OZHlzm93Iv

I’m staring a new religion around Harry Dank. The central pillars are recliners, USA basketball, and smiling very slightly on national television.
