Olympic-gold snowboarder Jamie Anderson confesses she and the other female athletes are checking out “a lot of cuties” in Sochi with the dating app Tinder, according to US magazine.
The 23-year-old from Lake Tahoe, Calif., said matchmaking has reached new levels in the Olympic Village.
“Tinder in the Olympic Village is next level,” she told US. “It’s all athletes! In the mountain village it’s all athletes. It’s hilarious. There are some cuties on there.”

An aside... I’m glad we’re winning medals but these events are unrecognizable. Slope style? WTF?!
TTIUWP!
I’ve heard the same. I get it, but at the same time, it seems crazy that so much work goes into getting there that all focus would be on competing. I also know from competitive sports on a much lower level that those who work hard generally play hard, too.
Sounds racist….. An hour later you are Horney again?
Yet another reason it would be difficult to care less about the Olympics.
And just think. A few days ago I had to explain why the US Hockey team stayed in the Olympic Village rather than fancy hotels. I never got Olympic good but I was good enough back in the day (snowboarding, I grew up in Tahoe) to taste the fruits of near Olympic success.
