Team USA rugby star shows off Olympics gift bag worth thousands including gear from Samsung, Nike and Ralph Lauren
TEAM USA rugby sevens star Cody Melphy may not be bringing back a medal from Tokyo – but he will return with a pile of expensive goodies.
The 28-year-old took to TikTok to show off the bags of loot worth thousands of pounds he received from team sponsors.
Denver resident Melphy showcased products from Ralph Lauren, Nike, Samsung and Oakley.
He filmed four pairs of sunglasses costing around £75 each.
There was also a pile of Samsung electronics including Galaxy Pods Pro, which retail around the £120 mark.
But most of the gear came from long-term Team USA sponsors Nike and Ralph Lauren.
Shoes, clothes and other accessories could be seen.
The knit jacket costs around £215 and a Nike windrunner would set you back around £95.
And bags, fanny-packs and a baseball jacket from Ralph Lauren total about £360 worth of gear.
The mountain of clobber looked like it would cost a fortune to transport back to the US from Tokyo.
But fortunately for Melphy, he revealed he had been provided with two extra duffel-bags, while the extra baggage fee would be covered too.
Some reports speculated United Airlines – another Team USA sponsor – would absorb the transport costs.
