The Norwegian swimmer Henrik Christiansen has gone viral on social media for a reason that has little to do with his performance at the Olympics: he is obsessed with the Olympic Village chocolate muffins .
On her TikTok profile, almost all of her recent videos are dedicated to the dessert — which is a mini chocolate cupcake — which earned Christiansen the nickname “muffin man” .
In one of the videos, he even showed the dessert table on a day when there were no chocolate muffins and wrote in the caption: “Guys, I think I’m going through withdrawal.”
Check out some of the swimmer’s TikToks:

Christiansen’s advertising campaign eventually led other Olympic athletes to decide to give the muffin a try, and it became a hit in the Olympic Village.
New Zealand swimmer Lewis Clareburt and Belgian sprinter Naomi Van Den Broeck were just some of the other athletes to post about the sweet treat.

And its popularity has also led to several chocolate muffin recipes appearing online, for those who want to try the dessert at home.
