It all began on 26 July when Norwegian swimmer Henrik Christiansen posted a TikTok reviewing meals he’d eaten so far in the Olympic Village. The athlete, who has already competed in this year's men’s 800-metre freestyle and will be making waves again in the men’s 1500-meter freestyle on 3 August, gave the pesto pasta and pork skewers a solid 7/10 and the shrimp dumplings and chicken gyozas an 8/10.
