The Resume

    (June 22, 1994- )
    Born in Vanuatu
    Rower (men's single sculls)
    Flagbearer for Vanuatu at the Tokyo Summer Olympics (2021)

Why he might be annoying:

    More than half his name is the letter 'i.'
    As a shirtless flagbearer, he seems to be a Pita Taufatofua wannabe. (Especially considering that Vanuatu had been sending athletes to the Summer Olympics since 1988 without previously opting for a native costume for its flagbearer.)
    Like Taufatofua, he drew international attention less for his athletic achievements than for his uncovered torso.
    A joke after the opening ceremony claimed that he and Taufatofua had depleted Tokyo's stock of body oil.

Why he might not be annoying:

    He won Vanuatu's first gold medal at the Commonwealth Games (2018).
    He was the first ever Vanuatu Sportsman of the Year (2018).
    He doubled the amount of beefcake on display during the opening ceremony (joining a returning Taufatofua).
