Who is 'Bob the Cap Catcher'? Meet the Paris Olympics' swimming hero

Did you see the footage of the dude in a Speedo in Paris at the Olympic swimming events, who dove into the pool during the women’s 100-meter breaststroke and grabbed Emma Webber’s swim cap that had fallen off?

No? Well, you have to. Because we have a new Olympics hero, and his name is Bob the Cap Catcher.

Actually, no. That’s not his name. We don’t know who he is. But NBC dubbed him Bob the Cap Catcher, and until someone interviews Bob, his name is Bob. The crowd loved cheering him on, as they should, and we need more of this guy.

Who do you call when a swim cap falls in the pool?

Someone find this guy and give him a medal. Seriously.
