Norwegian swimmer Henrik Christiansen came into his 3rd Olympic Games looking for memories in the pool but left with much, much more. After going viral during the Games on TikTok for a video featuring one of the Village’s chocolate muffins, Christiansen ran with it and soon became known as the Olympic Muffin Man.
Listen to what inspires Christiansen both in and out of the pool (aside from muffins) and how he’s feeling after the whirlwind experience of his 3rd Olympics.

Another well crafted interview..Henrik is very smart..but tiktok fame is fleeting..there is no question that the earnings for pro swimmers is meager if you are not at the very top..I wish him the very best going forward.
Sad that athletes have to resort to social media to make a bit of coin.
Maybe if we all collectively agreed that using social media to promote the sport wasn’t “sad” there would be more coin to go around.
I don’t think Henrik did the muffin tik toks to pay the bills!
Cringe and he didn’t even make it out the heats of his events
remember people, youre only allowed to be visible and have a good time if you podium
BTW the guy is a worlds medalist so maybe shut your muffin hole
All the more reason to enjoy a dozen muffins and find the chocolate filling in the experience
You are missing the point of sport. You are not a failure if you don’t medal! Making the FINA A standard is no easy task!
He has an Olympic final and 5 worlds medals lol
