Won Olympic gold – now David Åhman’s father is forced to tattoo his scrotum

During the Olympics in Paris, it was a great success when beach volleyball players David Åhman and Jonatan Hellvig won gold, to the great joy of all of Sweden. But the gold didn’t just mean resounding and cheering, but also that a promise must be fulfilled – David’s father Fredrik will tattoo the Olympic rings on his scrotum.
– He must keep his word, that’s a handshake, says David Åhman.

Before the Olympics, David Åhman and Jonatan Hellvig were the favorites. However, this did not prevent Fredrik Åhman, David’s father, from fulfilling a promise to his son.

– If David wins Olympic gold, I will tattoo the Olympic rings on the scrotum or on the inner thigh, says Fredrik in a Tiktok video on David’s account.

All said and done – that’s exactly what Åhman and Hellvig did. They won against Germany 2-0 in sets in the final and secured a historic Olympic gold.

– I can’t say that was the promise I was thinking about when I hit the ball. It was more afterwards when people came and hugged in the stands, says David.

Looking for tattoo artists

In David’s Tiktok video, he asks his father right after he wins: “Can you feel it in your balls now?”, and is met by father Fredrik laughing. Now afterwards, however, he is not as satisfied.

– Now afterwards he mostly swears at himself for taking this deal, says the beach volleyball player.

David reveals that the promise has not yet been fulfilled but that they are searching by candle and lantern for a tattoo artist who can do the tattoo.

– He must keep his word, that’s a handshake, says David Åhman.
