If anyone can recognize the greatest of all time, it's Beyoncé.

The legendary singer offered her voice to Simone Biles, narrating an introduction for the women's all-around gymnastics for NBC. The background music is the song "Just for Fun," from Beyoncé's most recent album.

"Simone Biles inspires me, and I'm pretty sure she inspires you, too," Beyoncé says. "Such confidence in her strength, such beauty in her power, such a great lesson in her story."

"Brilliance, it doesn't come easy. Gold can be a hell of a journey," she continues. "And the greatest of all time is willing to put that title on the line every time she walks out there."

The gooey chocolate muffin made famous by Norwegian swimmer Henrik Christiansen has now caught the interest of Olympians across the Olympic Village.

Ebony Morrison, a hurdler with Liberia, posted a vlog-style TikTok video going to track down the viral muffin. Morrison noted that she isn't even a fan of chocolate but that after she had one she declared that it was "bussin" and a "quality muffin."

"Yeah, believe the hype," Morrison said.

Christiansen posted a video today noting that he had caught his nemesis, the “cookie man,” with a chocolate muffin. Singaporean swimmer Jing Wen Quah told her followers she'd snag a muffin after her races, but in the meantime she's averting her eyes "so the Norwegian muffin man doesn't appear."
