Though spectators have not been allowed at the Olympics this year due to COVID-19 concerns, athletes are still making sure their fans get the full experience.
Thanks to a multitude of social media platforms, athletes could still show their fans their experiences at the Tokyo Summer Olympics. From longer-form video blogs on YouTube to fun, short clips on TikTok, it’s safe to say some of the athletes have been enjoying their downtime creating content for their followers.
@ilonamaher My screen time is nothing to be proud of #tokyo2020 #beastbeautybrains #olympics #usarugby #tokyoolympics #olympictiktok #teamusaOther athletes who showcased a thorough idea of their time at the Olympics included the U.S. women’s gymnastics team. Each member has a TikTok account and posted frequently during their time in Tokyo. Sunisa “Suni” Lee and Jordan Chiles used their downtime to upload short clips of themselves dancing.
@kelseymarierobinson Dinner at the Olympic village #tokyoolympics #teamusa #fypシ #olympicspirit #volleyball #LeadWithLoveRobinson also shared what it was like to walk in the Opening Ceremony, even giving viewers a glimpse of other athletes singing happy birthday to U.S. basketball player Kevin Durant — though perplexingly his birthday is not until Sept. 29.
He also touched on the COVID-19 regulations, such as daily testing and the contact tracing on each athlete’s phone. “They tell us that no news is good news because you only find out your results if you’re positive,” Daley said in one of his videos. “We have contract tracing on our phones, so that if we come into contact near someone in the dining hall, for example, with COVID-19, then we get a notification and we have to isolate.
“We’re staying in a hotel, we aren’t in the Olympic Village because they don’t want us around the other athletes just because they don’t want us to catch COVID-19,” she said in her video, disclosing her slight disappointment since she didn’t get to stay in the Olympic Village in the last Olympics in Rio de Janeiro either.
