To make a name for yourself in the Olympics you either need to perform incredible athletic feats – or really like muffins. That last one really only applies to Henrik Christiansen, a Norwegian swimmer whose love of the chocolate muffins in the Olympic Village has taken on a life of its own.

Christiansen’s love affair with the Olympic muffins started last Thursday when he posted a TikTok rating the food in the Olympic Village. During that first video, he rated the muffin “Insane 11/10” compared to his pesto pasta and pork skewer (7/10), shrimp dumplings (8/10) and chicken gyoza (6/10).
