Ever wanted to date an Olympian? Well, one guy on TikTok just found a way to up his chances.
When you buy Tinder Plus, you're able to change your location to anywhere in the world. So naturally, TikTok user Kavner (@reedkavner) changed his to Olympic Village in Tokyo. Ya know, just to see......👀
And several Olympians appeared to be on the app!!!
The TikTok IMMEDIATELY went viral, and basically half of TikTok began changing their Tinder locations to Olympic Village too.
Last night I made a TikTok about changing my Tinder location to put myself in the Olympic Village so that I can fall in love with an Olympian (medalists preferred). It got 2M views overnight, which is fun, but now Olympic Village Tinder is flooded with non-Olympians 😭
Kavner even took his grievances straight to Tinder via the comments section. As he should!!!!!!!
"After my video began getting popular on TikTok, a lot of other people changed their locations in Tokyo, so Olympians are hard to find now," Kavner told BuzzFeed. "But I've seen people who have 'I'm here because of TikTok' in their Tinder bios, which is cool."
While Kavner says he still hasn't matched with any Olympians, one of the Olympians he saw whilst swiping, Canadian swimmer Katerine Savard, DID comment on the video, sooooo.......
"She [Katerine Savard] left a few comments on TikTok and one of them included the winky face emoji, so I count that." he said.
It... worked?
Still, Kavner felt like an apology was in order for flooding Olympic Village with eager non-Olympians.
Regardless, I wish Reed and all the Olympians a happy Tindering (and thanks to the comment section, I now have a game plan for when the 2022 Winter Olympics roll around)!!!!!!!!!!
