Is there no end to the marvel that is Tinder? When Rebecca Torr, a snowboarder from New Zealand got to Sochi 2014 she did what anyself respecting Debrief girl would naturally do in a place where she found herself surrounded by eligible bachelors – she got on Tinder.
Sadly though for Rebecca, her fellow athletes didn’t originally seem to share her enthusiasm for finding love at the Winter Olympics. She Tweeted, ‘It seems so far that not many Olympians use tinder… Just wanna match with the Jamaican bobsled team.’ Don’t we all Rebecca? Those lycra onesises were strangely alluring.
Since then though, it seems the winter sports world’s finest have stepped up to the plate. Judging by subsequent Tweets, things are looking up, ‘Seriously tinder is on form here in Sochi hahahaha!!’ She’s even got in touch with Tinder itself, ‘So after all this press. how do you feel about a partnership?
hahahahaha xxx.’Happy Tindering Rebecca!
