Following the scene in “Beyond the Wall” — the sixth episode of season seven — when the leader of the White Walkers took down Viserion by launching an ice spear at the dragon with deadly precision, _Thrones_ viewers took to Twitter to poke fun at his extraordinary talent. “If the Night King took part in the Olympics as a javelin thrower,” one user captioned a [picture](https://twitter.com/faizaan210/status/897811340580065281) of the undead commander with dozens of Olympic gold medals around his neck. But now, one inspired soul has taken the joke to the next level by turning the meme into a Halloween costume. [Reddit user 1Voice1Life](https://www.reddit.com/r/gameofthrones/comments/78stna/everything%5Fnight%5Fking%5Folympic%5Fjavelin%5Fchampion/) shared photos of the epic get-up — which features a Night King mask, gold medal, tracksuit and javelin — on Thursday, garnering over 26 thousand upvotes from fans of the idea. > [](https://twitter.com/faizaan210/status/897811340580065281) See the hilarious shots below.
