Athletes take to social media to give fans a view from inside the bubble.

Olympic athletes are just like us.

Well, sort of.

When they’re not competing for gold, the Olympic snowboarders and roommates Tessa Maud and Maddie Mastro are all over TikTok, displaying their Olympic swag and giving people around the world a glimpse of what life is like at the Winter Games.

Maud, who at 18 is making her Olympic debut, shares her day-to-day life in the Olympic Village in Beijing, taking her followers to breakfast and dinner in the cafeteria, posting outfit-of-the-day videos in her Team U.S.A. gear and reviewing the Village’s smart beds, which come equipped with remote control devices and have a variety of settings, including reading mode and zero gravity mode.
