Overview
- Athletes in the newly opened Milan Olympic Village are posting TikTok and Instagram reviews that have turned the dining hall into a social‑media fixture.
- Canadian speed skater Courtney Sarault highlighted a molten chocolate tortino al cioccolato on Feb. 3, calling it better than Paris 2024’s famed chocolate muffin.
- Canada forward Natalie Spooner reported scarce chocolate options and, on Feb. 4, mistakenly tried a look‑alike chocolate soufflé she found dense and rated around 5 out of 10.
- Pizza is drawing consistent praise, with South African skier Matt C. Smith giving it roughly 8.5–9 out of 10 while labeling the lasagna simply “good.”
- Media outlets are amplifying the trend as Paris’s “Muffin Man” Henrik Christiansen weighs in skeptically and more athletes test muffins and soufflés with mixed results.
