Olympics: Team Japan Brings JoJo to Life With One Athlete’s Best Pose
The Olympics are in the swing of things, and this year, the event is giving fans all the anime goodies. From Dragon Ball Super references to Haikyu shoutouts, the fandom is eating good. Since the games began in Paris, the 2024 Olympics have been loaded with anime tributes, and now Team Japan just added to the list with a nod to JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure.
The whole thing went live this past weekend as the track and field category continued pushing forward. During the 110m Hurdles Finals, the world watched as Japan’s Rachid Muratake hit the screen. He entered the event in Team Japan’s signature red colors, and before heading to his station, Muratake got the crowd going by recreating a JoJo pose.
Oh yeah, that is right. JoJo and its poses have entered the Olympics. Muratake was seen covering his face with one hand in a clear nod to JoJo, and we’re positive not even Jotaro could critique the homage. It was pretty much perfect.
