9 Olympic Athletes Who Are Obsessed With McDonald's
They're going for the gold...en arches.
By 
Turns out Olympic athletes aren't just out for gold medals in Rio—they've also set their sights on the Golden Arches. McDonald's has long been a sponsor of the Olympics, and the fast-food joint has opened special locations for the games in London, Beijing, Sydney and Sochi. The Mickey D's in the athlete's village in Rio isn't open to fans, but it's managed to stay plenty busy thanks to athletes lined up out the door to claim their free Big Macs and fries. Those of you who love a good Quarter Pounder with Cheese can rest assured that you're in good company—some of the best athletes in the world are "lovin' it" too.
Venus and Serena Williams
The dominating sisters starred in a McDonald's commercial alongside the Hamburglar back in 2002, and they've been known to nibble on some French fries now and then.
Dara Torres
The U.S. gold medal–winning swimmer was named McDonald's global ambassador for it's "Champion of Play" program during the London games.
Fiji's Rugby Team
Fiji dominated Great Britain in the gold medal match, then celebrated by drinking kava and taking a group trip to McDonald's. One of the players is even quoted as saying "I'm really looking forward to having a Big Mac right now," after the win.
Andrew Bogut
Bogut, a member of Team Australia who recently played in the NBA finals with the Golden State Warriors, was reportedly eating McDonald's in his warm-up suit along with two other teammates.
Lyndal Oatley
Situated on the opposite side of the athelete's village from her husband, dressage competitor Lyndal Oatley meets him in the middle for quick dates nights at McDonald's during the competition. Now that's love.
Sydney McLaughlin
The 17-year-old hurdler from New Jersey burns plenty of calories on the track, and she hasn't been afraid to indulge while in Rio.
Usain Bolt
The lightning-fast Olympian chowed down on an insane number of McNuggets while competing in Beijing, and he hasn't changed his ways for Rio.
Michael Phelps
Even the most decorated gold-medalist of all time has been known to splurge on Mickey D's. Phelps served as McDonald's global ambassador for the brand's Champion Kids program during the 2008 games in Beijing, and with his performance thus far in Rio, we think he's earned a few McNuggets.
