Olympics of dating: Tinder says usage is skyrocketing in Rio

Athletes increasingly are using apps like Tinder as they look to have fun and escape the pressures of competition inside the Olympic Village. Profiles from athletes of nearly every sport can be found on Tinder with updates like "Got plenty of time to kill," or "Looking for fun in Rio!"

Hookups among athletes have long been part of the games, but mobile apps has made Olympic flings a lot easier.

My Tinder usage has skyrocketed too since the Olympic Games started. My other half is obsessed and I'm over here like YAWN.

Dang! Too bad I'm not in Rio! 😉. lol. Well, whatever helps the athletes relax so they can compete better, I guess.

Were there not enough sleezy soilders in Rio to go around?

I guess tinder gives them more choice than a "you'll do cos I might not get better tonight"

Cricket players were highly judged for the same behaviour in the 90's 🙄 hahah!

Not surprising. They always talk about the amount of hooking up that goes on in the Olympic Village.....guess that's what happens when you put thousands of super fit stars together in one town.
