While back in the USA, men’s swimming, women’s gymnastics and track get the most air-time, in the Olympic Village, skills with a racket get the green light for love. The data for this finding was gathered from athletes’ profile pages. Any sport that was listed in a user’s bio or noted as their profession was recorded by Tinder.

The most sought-after men? Tennis players. Weightlifters and gymnasts followed closely behind, while swimmers and sprinters didn’t even make the list at all.

As previously reported by Us Weekly, matches on Tinder increased 129 percent over the weekend of August 9, as approximately 10,000 elite athletes moved into the secluded 31-building compound in the Olympic Village.

“A lot of the athletes here are using this app,” Swedish judoka Marcus Nyman told the Associated Press, adding that he got about 10 matches in the first day or so after he arrived in Rio.

At the 2014 Olympics in Sochi, American snowboarder Jamie Anderson told Us Weekly, “Tinder in the Olympic Village is next level. It’s all athletes! In the mountain village, it’s all athletes. It’s hilarious. There are some cuties on there.”

Despite reports that Olympians are provided with a stockpile of approximately 42 condoms per person, an Olympic source told Us that the reality isn’t as salacious. The insider added that it’s “pretty tough to hook up on twin beds with roommates.”
