If you're familiar with Elton John's Rocket Man song, now discover the"Olympic Muffin Man" aka Henrik Christiansen, the Norwegian 800-meter freestyle swimmer who fell madly in love... with muffins in the Olympic Village!
Housed in the Olympic Village alongside all the delegations taking part in the Paris 2024 Olympic Games, the 27-year-old swimmer filmed himself and posted his chocolatey crush on TikTok.
After awarding decent marks to the starters and dishes offered to the athletes, Henrik Christiansen gave the now-famous chocolate muffin, the "best thing in the Olympic Village" in his own words, an excellent mark of 11/10.
After Simone Biles was spotted on social networking sites enjoying an industrial pain au chocolat to the point of licking her fingers, this is sure to ruffle the feathers of any afficionados of sweet treats made according to the rules of the art. Because in the City of Light, it's well known that good pastries are legion!
