An audience member at the Paris 2024 Olympics flashed to the camera during the women's tennis singles quarterfinal match.
Apparently, it's no longer enough to simply clap along or cheer to show your appreciation for a sport, with an ice hockey fan having gone viral earlier this year after lifting her top at a game and now another sports fan deciding to give Olympics viewers an eye-full too.
On Wednesday (31 July), Iga Swiatek and Danielle Collins took to the court at the women's tennis singles quarterfinal match at the Stade Roland Garros at the 2024 Paris Olympics.

However, if you were there watching or at home catching it on your TV, you'll have gotten a lot more than you bargained for when tuning in for the game.
Alongside seeing a heated match between the two athletes, you also may've spotted the moment the camera panned to the audience, one shot showing a woman, child and man.
While the man can be seen taking his time in the limelight to issue a beaming smile towards the lens, the woman wearing sunglasses and a hat grabs her top and lifts it up, revealing her bare stomach and bikini top underneath.
And it's not taken long for people to flood to social media to weigh in on the stunt.
Some Twitter users speculated the trio of spectators is actually a dad, mom and son, writing: "Watching Olympic tennis and they just showed a young boy w his parents and tell me why the mom just 'flashed' the camera when she realized she was on tv."
"Your kid's right there, ma'am," another added.
A third commented: "Bizarre behaviour with a young child."
While it may be 'bizarre' behavior, flashing at a live camera while watching sport has turned into a more common occurrence than most of us probably would've hoped.
Back in June, a woman - later nicknamed the 'most mysterious woman in hockey' - went viral on social media for flashing her bare chest while watching the The Edmonton Oilers versus the Dallas Stars in Game 5 of the Western Conference Final at American Airlines Center in Dallas, Texas.
The fan later revealed she received an offer from an adult film site as a result of her risqué act, although whether or not that's what this mom watching the tennis wanted to achieve, who knows.
