The Olympic Village in Paris was built with France’s important food traditions in mind. But the runaway hit among the world’s elite athletes is not a croissant or a baguette, but something more likely to be passed over at an American cafeteria. “They’re very rich, and I like that,” Henrik Christiansen, a Norwegian swimmer turned unofficial Olympic Muffin Man on TikTok, said in an interview. “Some people might find it too powerful, but they’re right up my alley.”Christiansen, 27, came across the muffins while making a video to review meals at the Olympic Village. They “were just so incredibly delicious” that Christiansen said he decided to see if a series of videos highlighting his love for the muffins would take off.
