‘Oh, sh*t, am I actually in this?’ Home-country darling sends Olympics into frenzy
Australia began their Olympic campaign with a bang on Sunday, as Ilona Maher’s scorching shorts sent fans into an online frenzy.
Maher, who calls herself a home-country darling, set tongues wagging back home with her patriotic post on Twitter in which she declared her Olympic uniform hotter than the weather in Tokyo.
Her tweet, which also included a series of drool face emojis, read: “So the opening ceremony is tonight and the amount of DMs I’ve received about wanting to see me in this outfit is crazy 😂” and “um, hello? it’s 30 degrees here. (That’s 86F).”
The post has since been shared thousands of times and has amassed thousands of likes.
Her cheeky tweet comes ahead of the 2021 Olympics, which is the first Olympics to take place in a year other than 2000 since 1940. Tokyo will play host from July 23 to Aug. 8.
