One of the TikTok users posted a video showing the work of javelin throw competition organizers. The men control small cars, moving the javelins from place to place. The video became a hit, and users called their work "the best job at the games."

During the ongoing games in Paris, track and field fans could observe something that not only caught their attention but also amused them. According to "The Sun," the audience witnessed the introduction of an unusual element during the javelin throw session – remotely controlled cars that are used to transport the javelins back to the throwing point. This modern method of transporting sports equipment quickly became an internet sensation, being closely watched by games enthusiasts.

Two employees sit behind the controls of these miniature sports vehicles, who, according to observers, have "the most relaxing job" at this year's games. Sitting comfortably, they control the cars that "retrieve" the javelins, a task requiring minimal physical effort and maximum satisfaction.

Viewers and social media users quickly hailed this role as the "dream job," humorously noting that they had dreamed of such a job forever, despite their parents' warnings that "playing with remote-controlled cars" would never turn into a real job.

Enchanted by this novelty, many people shared their thoughts online, with one contemplating the possibility of "remote work" in the literal sense of the word. Irony and admiration blend in the comments, highlighting how innovation changes the perception of work, even in a traditional environment like the Olympic Games.
