From the shirtless Tongan flagbearer of the opening ceremonies to the Super Mario-lookalike gold-medal curler, here are five of the best social-media moments of these spectacular sporting events.

The first meme of the games ended up being the best meme of the games. Tongan athlete Pita Taufatofua competed in taekwondo in the 2016 Rio Olympics and came back to cross-country ski in Pyeongchang. He carried his country's flag into the chilly arena for the opening ceremonies shirtless, oiled up, and in traditional dress, earning the loudest applause of any team or athlete.
