Streaker Crashes Olympic Speedskating With A Message For The World

What a performance!
|

A streaker at the Winter Olympics  just wanted to bring “PEACE + LOVE” to the world.

The ponytailed man bounded onto the ice shortly after the men’s 1,000 m speedskating event in Pyeongchang, South Korea, on Friday.

As video that Instagram user mhj.kooij shared online shows, the rink intruder removed his clothes to reveal a pink tutu and a strategically placed sock beneath.

He’d inked the message about peace and love onto his chest.

Yahoo News identified the man as U.K.-based Mark Roberts , who reportedly has now streaked at more than 500 events including Super Bowl XXXVIII .

It’s unclear how officials dealt with his impromptu performance, which has now gone down in Olympic history.
