One Piece sent some congratulatory messages to some Olympic athletes following their major Straw Hat shout outs during the Tokyo Olympics. While it was a rough start due to the new state of emergency in Tokyo just before it began, the event itself has seen a number of fun anime and video game references throughout and this includes the Olympic athletes themselves as they have been showing off their anime and manga fandom. Three athletes in particular caught some attention from fans for emulating some famous poses from the series before taking on their respective events.
