Team USA star reveals the reality of being on Tinder at the athletes' village at 2024 Olympic Games in Paris
Emily Delleman has revealed exactly what the situation on Tinder is like at the Olympic village.
A Team USA rower has revealed her disappointment at the lack of movement on the Tinder scene at the Olympic village.
Emily Delleman is making her Olympics debut in Paris and was looking for a little more than a medal in the showpiece.
Delleman, part of the US women's quadruple scull team, has made a viral TikTok video discussing her dating experience or lack of it during the event.

Around 300,000 condoms are said to be available for athletes staying in the Olympic village, which is known for being a hot spot for hook-ups.
Although the cardboard beds are a seen as a bit of a deterrent attempt, many Olympians have explained why so much sex happens between athletes at the Games.
Yet 26-year-old Delleman can't quite relate to it after being told to get on the Tinder hype.
She changed her geolocation on the app in the hope that some single athletes would appear but had no luck at all.
"I'm in the Olympic Village right now and so far most things have exceeded my expectations," Delleman said.
"The food, the vibe, the atmosphere... it's crazy. Everything but this... The other day I was lying on my cardboard bed, recovering like it's my job, because it is.
"And I was browsing TikTok and I saw girls saying "hey, change your geolocation to the Olympic Village, you want some first division 'babies'?" and I was like "oh my god, genius. You need to make the most of this like you did when you were in Rome.
"So I start sailing and I don't see any Olympic athletes.
"I thought okay, my setup must be weird. No. I'm within a mile radius and so far I think I've seen a total of two other Olympic athletes."
As a result, Delleman has been forced to pass the time with other entertainment types, enjoying a good old TikTok scroll.
She added: "I went in with the expectation of finding some of my future relationships, but unfortunately, I guess we're looking for other forms of entertainment and that's why you now find me on TikTok."
