Fans at the Olympics think a gold medallist ought to take a DNA test after seeing his striking appearance.

In the hammer throw, 22-year-old Ethan Katzberg claimed gold after producing an insane distance of 84.12 metres.

He followed up success in the World Athletics Championships in Budapest last year with another comfortable victory, pipping silver medallist Bence Halasz by 4.15-metres in Paris.

Ukraine's Mykhaylo Kokhan rounded off the podium, claiming bronze with a distance of 79.39.

Hailing from Nanaimo, British Columbia, Katzberg represents Canada and has done ever since he burst onto the scene at the Under 20 World Athletics Championships in 2021.

Yet viewers are absolutely adamant that Katzberg needs to take a DNA test, with many convinced that he has to be Australian.

In addition to being in superb shape, Katzberg has long wavy hair and a thick moustache.

He looks like he would give you some very good value for money surfing lessons on Bondi Beach and cook a tremendous barbecue while cracking open a couple of cold ones.

It turns out that a lot of people think Katzberg has to have some connections Down Under.

One fan wrote: "Nah I want a DNA test this man is clearly Australian."

A second said: "They’re just appropriating the Aussie male look."

A third commented: "Will admit though Ethan Katzberg & Rowan Hamilton got that Australian energy to them, but they’re for sure Canadian."

A fourth added: "He looks like he could tame a crocodile."

A final user concluded: "He's probably a secret aussie."

There's also the debate of whether Katzberg is actually 22 because he looks like he was in his prime back in the 80's.

But he has become the youngest man to win a hammer throw world title and looks like he will be a force to be reckoned with for years to come.

Reflecting on his victory, Katzberg said: "I don't think I expected it, but I had the preparation in mind to get a good round on the first throw, and to throw 84 metres felt really good."
