Though the 2024 Paris Olympics presents an opportunity for athletes to show what they’re made of on the international summer sports stage — it also gives them a chance to give social media followers a behind-the-scenes glimpse into the games.

Four-time Olympic gold medalist Simone Biles shared a photo of her bedroom via Instagram stories. It includes the typical cardboard bed athletes get at the games.

Olympic “fit checks” have been popular on social media as well, with athletes showing off their team gear.

Ralph Lauren is dressing Team USA for opening and closing ceremonies for the ninth time, according to the Associated Press.

For the opening ceremony,they’ll be wearing tailored navy blazers with blue-and-white striped Oxford shirts — and blue jeans, and for the closing ceremony, the team will wear white jeans with matching jackets in red, white and blue, the AP reported.

I honestly almost purchased one of these jackets at @RalphLauren a few days ago.

Can you wear this jacket out if you’re not an Olympian or visiting Talladega?

I say yes. Impeccable USA look #OlympicGames #USA https://t.co/y049mJVAYU
