Igniting fandom through authenticity, creativity, and community

The IOC's and its official media rights-holders' content on TikTok captures the passion, authenticity, and the real people behind all the athletic glory, giving fans a unique sneak peek into the greatest sports show on earth. Olympians have shown that they can be equally engaging both as content creators and athletes, as they share a more human side to the Games. Nearly 9 in 10 global TikTok users (85%) say they intend to engage with the 2024 Summer Games on TikTok, with 7 in 10 global TikTok users agreeing that TikTok allows athletes and teams to build stronger connections with their fans* through its collaborations with the IOC and its official media rights-holders.

The Olympics have taken fandom to greater heights— as seen on TikTok—with its official accounts amassing nearly 2 billion views to date. Fandom has also unleashed creativity among fans, athletes, teams, and broadcasters alike, with #Olympics (1.6m posts), #Paris2024 (547k posts), and #Olympics2024 (140k posts) among the most popular hashtags inspiring the most videos created throughout the Games.

The IOC and its media right-holders have enabled TikTok to be part of the action.
