During the two weeks of Olympic frenzy, you may have heard some news about a dancing weightlifter.
Sound familiar? We don’t know when, where, or how you heard about the dancing weightlifter, or even if you heard of him at all, but one thing we know for sure: once you’ve seen his moves, you won’t forget him.
Check out the coverage of David Katoatau’s Olympic performance below:

Not only is he an Olympic weightlifter, he’s also got some killer dance moves! Not easy to forget, right? That’s exactly why Katoatau danced after each lift — he wanted the world to remember him. And that goal is much deeper than vanity.
In fact, he did those memorable dance moves to raise awareness for his country Kiribati, which is suffering from rising sea levels.
