The Rio Olympics 2016 has officially begun and we are being treated to sport at its very best. But, as per, speed, strength, precision and stamina are not the only talent people are paying attention to. Yep, the athletic physiques on display throughout the sporting showdowns have also got the nation feeling rather patriotic. Don't pretend you didn't watch the swimming for a reason...
And now, just in case a particular athlete has taken your fancy, there's a super easy way to find out if a potential fairy tale romance is on the cards. Well, it tells you if they are on Tinder, but dreams CAN come true there, you know.
All you need to do is head to the Instagram account, Sportswipe. The account got popular after debuting swimmer Ryan Lochte's Tinder page when he revealed to the press that he was on the dating app.
The account, run by an anonymous Tinder trawler, is now treating us to a selection of athlete's pages. They even tried to make an Rio special page, 'rioswipe', but it looks like it's since been deleted from Instagram.
Take a look. Anyone take your fancy?
