Dad of Milan Cortina

A 60-something dad named Richard became an unlikely Olympic sensation after his daughter Beks posted a TikTok asking if anyone needed a “dad to cover the games” — and people responded.

Brands like Delta and Hilton jumped in to support him, and even top athletes like Hilary Knight and Julie Foudy praised his passion. What started as a simple social media moment revealed a deeper story: a father-daughter bond strengthened through sports, especially women’s athletics, and a powerful reminder that authenticity — even from the most unexpected voices — can move people.
