Greek Olympians go viral in Paris for lifting parked cars out of bus’s way

·

Greece’s men’s water polo team have gone viral at the Paris Olympics for their strength in an unexpected arena.

The players were captured by France 24’s Bahar Makooi moving parked cars blocking their bus’s path along a narrow suburban street in Paris.

The players lifted one of the cars as they made their way back to the Olympic Village from training. The operation was said to have lasted “a good half hour.”

According to France 24, after their Olympian effort, locals opened their doors so the team could wash their hands before continuing on their journey.

The Greek team defeated Romania 14-7 in their opening match the following day.
