Athletes Are Sharing What Happens Behind The Scenes At The Olympic Village And Now It's Our Favourite Reality Show
A hot new bombshell enters the (Olympic) villa.
OlympicsTok 2024 has officially taken over almost everyone's TikTok FYPs and oh boy, it's a doozy. There's fashion dramas, cardboard beds, a whole bunch of free stuff and bread making classes (apparently).
The atmosphere is giving off big school camp energy. It's chaotic and mysterious, all at the same time.Β
@ally.tom7 Australia, can't lie, some are hits, some, not so much (we've all seen the macca and Alanna's post) #olympics #paralympics #teamgb

It's giving us serious FOMO but we're thankful to the athletes that are feeding us all of the delicious content.
If there were gold medals for oversharing, they'd get one each.
Here are our favourite tales from the Olympic Village, so far:
1. Everyone is talking about, testing and roasting the "Anti-Sex Cardboard Beds"
