Everyone made the same Father Ted joke after seeing this Olympian's surname

Maybe this is who Fr. Jack was cheering on all these years…

MEET STEPHAN FECK.

He’s a 26-year-old German diver who competed in the men’s synchronised 3m springboard last night.

Just to reiterate that earlier point: his name is Stephan Feck.

OPulLDu

And viewers reacted very maturely.

Whoops!

Can't help but think that Stephan Feck for Germany would have been Father Jack's favourite athlete #Rio2016 #diving

As for how Feck got on? He finished in an agonising 4th place.

If ever his surname was appropriate…
