NANTERRE, France — A pool worker drew hoots and whistles when he stripped down to his Speedo and dove in the Olympic pool to retrieve a wayward swim cap. The man drew loud cheers when he unabashedly walked across the deck in his skimpy, brightly colored attire. He drove in the pool and received another round of applause when he came up holding the cap above his head. The headwear apparently belonged to Emma Webber of the United States.
