34 Olympic Athletes You'll Love Following On TikTok

Unboxing videos get an upgrade when you’re receiving gear for your second Winter Olympics. Team USA snowboarder Meghan Tierney is back at the Village with plenty of red, white, and blue fit checks, POV snowboarding course run-throughs, and 2018 Olympic flashbacks.

Newcomer Tessa Maud might be going for gold on this year’s Olympic TikTok — getting her reps in with daily coverage of warm-ups, Olympic Village cafeteria reviews, OOTDs, POV peeks of ceremonies, and answering fan questions.

With over 450k followers and multiple videos garnering over 2 million views, Maddie Mastro might be the resident TikTok correspondent of the winter Olympics. The snowboarder has accepted this duty with gusto, confirming rumors about lucky rabbit feet built into athletes’ gear, letting fans tune into her “Get Ready With Me” videos, showing just how steep the half-pipe is, and documenting her reunion with her fellow Olympian bestie, Australian snowboarder Emily Arthur.

Fan favorite and retired figure skater Adam Rippon might not be taking the ice this year, but he is in Beijing as a coach of his student Mariah Bell. And, since he isn’t competing, it seems Rippon has a lot more time to post content from inside of Olympic Village. When he’s not coaching, Rippon can be seen on TikTok giving tours of the facilities (with hilarious commentary), unboxing gear, and showing what it’s like to get tested at the Olympics.

If you’re looking for some heartwarming inspiration this Olympic season, look no further than the TikTok of Olympic newbie Ashley Farquharson. While Farquharson posts plenty of typical Olympic TikTok content, like gear unboxings and coverage of the Olympic Village, the luger has loads of sweet content about being an Olympic newcomer like processing the reality of being at the Olympics with fellow newbies, annoying her veteran teammates, and reflecting on her journey to Beijing.

When you’re the youngest woman in history to win gold in Olympic snowboarding, your takes on trending TikTok sounds like Lana Del Rey’s “Spinning Like a Ballerina” tend to stand out a bit.

From one look at the thumbnails of snowboarder Shaun White’s TikTok page, it seems that the record-breaking gold medalist is vying to break another world record in “Most TikTok Duets Shot While Eating a Plate of Food.” However, judging by his recent earnest post about making it to his fifth Olympic Games this year, White could be making a shift to more Olympics-centric content soon.

Halfpipe skier Alex Ferreira is no stranger to content creating. “Ferda by day...hans by night,” his TikTok bio reads above a YouTube link to a video of his skiing alter-ego, Hotdoggin’ Hans. It’s safe to guess Ferreira won’t be hitting the slopes in elderly prosthetics as Hans, but it seems likely that he will be a good sport about sharing some comedic content in the Village this year.
