The “Olympic Muffin Man” Confesses He Can’t Stop Eating the Chocolate Muffins in the Dining Hall



Norwegian swimmer Henrik Christiansen has been making waves at the 2024 Paris Olympics — and not just because of his performances in the pool. The 3-time Olympian, who is competing in the men’s 800-meter and 1500-meter freestyle, has posted a series of hilarious TikTok videos about his favorite food item in the Olympic Village cafeteria: chocolate muffins. The 27-year-old keeps the muffins in a secret drawer by his bed, declaring himself the “Olympic Muffin Man.” Christiansen isn’t alone in his love for the muffins with the gooey melted chocolate center: Stephen Nedoroscik, Brody Malone and Asher Hong — all members of the bronze-metal-winning U.S. men’s gymnastics team — have echoed their love of the muffins as well. The food is being catered by the French company Sodexo Live and is intended to give the athletes a wide range of international options.
