Olympics athlete celebrates gold with ode to Cristiano Ronaldo
The Portuguese superstar inspired millions around the world with his skills and goalscoring records, and his influence appeared in the Paris Games.
Soccer fans all over the globe are more than familiar with the exploits of Cristiano Ronaldo.

Cristiano, a real influencer.
