We spotted him on our Disney World vacation trip at EPCOT yesterday. He was at guardians of the galaxy ride greeting people and even waved to us, I didn’t know who he was so I didn’t ask for a picture but did take a few sneaky ones just to show some friends. I ended up running up to him just as we exited the ride to give him a tiny trinket I had before running off, the second photo is the reaction haha (the girls face is blurred for her privacy, she’s a kid).
I never got to ask who he was since we were running late for dinner. Could someone please let me know who he is? I cannot for the life of me find out who he is, my family and friends have been looking all over as well.

Character player?
H&M only supplies Sweden.
Edit: not anymore.
At the risk of looking like an ass if this turns out to be a genuine competitor: it doesn’t look to me like this is a real Olympian. That’s a swedish kit and that looks like a gold medal to me, but it doesn’t check out with this list of their medalists. (Also appears to be a Paris medal so wouldn’t be worth checking past medalist lists) https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sweden_at_the_2024_Summer_Olympics
Can you access the Olympic website? Usually they have photos of all athletes competing. Maybe look there?

I’m not sure who the person is but this looks like the same jacket.
Also, only 4 Swedish athletes won gold medals in 2024 and none are this person.
Don’t think I’d be wearing my medal in open public either
As far as I’m aware, no black athlete from Sweden won a gold medal at Paris 2024. I’m guessing this person might have traded jackets with someone from Team Sweden, but right now I have no idea who it could be.
The 3 crowns above the Olympic Rings on the jacket is the Team Sweden design, so other commenter is right that it’s a Sweden jacket.
