It's Season 2 of Ilona Maher's viral Olympic TikToks, and this batch of videos is even better than the last. The Team USA rugby player began making Olympic content back in 2021, offering followers an inside look at the Tokyo Olympic Village. Her account gained traction after posting some especially relatable videos thirsting after her fellow athletes (turns out, she's just as captivated by some of the NBA players as we are). Since then, she's become one of our favorite Olympic content creators, in addition to a world-class athlete. She's even appeared on podcasts with popular internet personalities like Drew Afualo.
At this year's Paris Olympics, Maher is keeping her content game strong, reviewing the Games' infamous cardboard beds, showing off her Olympic 'fits, and documenting her time at the Olympic Villa-ge, "Love Island"-style. Whether you're looking for a laugh, or just need a new social media favorite to root for, we took the liberty of rounding up a few of Maher's funniest TikToks. Oh, and if you're a hot Olympian looking for love — she's single.
