Brazilian Olympic gymnast Flávia Saraiva has become the talk of social media after fans discovered her profile on a popular dating app. The 24-year-old athlete, known for her performances at the 2024 Paris Olympics, went viral for a very different reason—her presence on Tinder.
The profile, written in Portuguese, includes a note that she is looking for “nothing serious, but it depends” and describes her as an “artistic gymnastics athlete, Olympic and world medalist.” The profile also highlights that she is tanned and a good person, according to reports from The Sun.
Fans were surprised to see the world-class gymnast on the app, and screenshots of her profile began circulating online. One fan remarked, “Flavia Saraiva showing that she is just like us,” capturing the lighthearted reaction of many who were amused by her presence on a dating app.
This viral moment came shortly after Saraiva helped Team Brazil secure a bronze medal in the women’s artistic team all-around event at the 2024 Paris Olympics. Saraiva had sustained an injury during warm-ups after falling on the uneven bars, which left her with a cut above her eye. Despite the injury, she competed with a black eye and a bandage and played a key role in her team’s podium finish.
As the Tinder profile screenshots went viral, fans flooded social media with their thoughts. Some joked about how they’d react if they came across her profile, while others expressed admiration for the gymnast’s grounded approach to life outside of her Olympic stardom.
This incident has sparked a broader conversation about the challenges that public figures face when navigating personal lives in the digital age, where even something as private as dating can become a viral topic. While Saraiva has yet to comment on the attention, she continues to focus on her training and upcoming competitions, with fans cheering her on, both in her athletic endeavors and her personal journey.
