Athletes Are Posting Their Olympic Welcome Gifts On TikTok & We're Seriously Jealous

I've never wanted to be an Olympic athlete more 😩

Global Staff Writer

There are some pretty great perks to being an Olympic athlete.

Olympians on TikTok are showing off the free gifts and cool gear they got upon arriving in Beijing, and we're seriously envious.

Jenniina Nylund, an Olympic hockey player representing Finland, recently posted a TikTok showing off all the free stuff she's received since arriving for the Winter Games.

It looks like the athletes scored some pretty cool stuff.

The first thing Nylund showed off was a personalized Lumoava necklace. The necklace, which is valued at 124 euros (CA$181), is engraved with "Olympic Team Finland Beijing 2022."

She also showed off a pair of Samsung Galaxy Buds2 earbuds, which came with a super cool electronic case that tells you what time it is.

Nylund also got a free brand news Samsung Galaxy Z Flip3 phone, which was also personalized with the Olympic rings.

When she turned the phone on, it showed a message for the Olympic athletes, welcoming them to the 2022 Beijing Olympics.

"Enjoy your new Beijing 2022 Samsung Galaxy Z Flip3 5G. Wishing you every success and unforgettable Olympic moments," said the message.

People in the comments expressed concerns that the phone could possibly pose security risks. Researchers have found that China's MY2022 app, the use of which it has mandated for attendees of the Games, has security vulnerabilities that could make it easy to hack.

This isn't even all of the free stuff Olympians will get to take home.

Recently, athletes from Team USA have been showing off the gear they received from the new Skims for Team USA collab.

Team Canada also sported some pretty stylish Lululemon gear during the Olympics' opening ceremony, wearing red puffer jackets, half-zip shirts and quilted scarves.

Medal-winners or not, these athletes are definitely winning in the swag department!
