  • Here are 10 Olympians that you should follow for a behind-the-scenes look at the games.

The summer Olympics in Tokyo officially kicked off on Friday with an opening ceremony that, even without fans present, was still a spectacular sight. Though the games are in a bit of a precarious position this year due to COVID-19 (after initially being postponed in 2020), they're finally underway, allowing you to immerse yourself in international sport through your television.

Or, you could also turn to TikTok to get a behind-the-scenes peek at what life is like at the Olympic Village. Naturally, that includes a lot of content about the famous cardboard beds.

Olympian athletes have also been going viral for showing viewers their training sessions and food.

TikTok user @thebigandsexy70 posted a video marveling at how bizarre it was to see superstar athletes on TikTok. "How are they that talented AND funny?????" she said in the comments section.

Here's a list to get you caught up on the Olympians you should be following on TikTok as you watch the Tokyo 2020 games.
