I guess the apple don't fall far from the tree, and I guess Tyler Downs is brining Brat to Paris. (French accent appreciated to make the rhyme work.)

The American diver — who competes in the men's synchronized 3 meter springboard this Friday — doesn't just show precision on the board, he also shows it on TikTok.

Downs has been a frequent participant of the Apple dance trend, which involves dancing to Charli XCX's "Apple" from her latest album, Brat.

As unattainable as being an Olympian may seem, athletes like Downs are using social media to humanize themselves and show who they are off the podium.

Olympians. They're just like us.

Downs has brought the trend to places like Paris's Seine and Metro. Vive la Brat!

Downs isn't the only Olympian to use social media to document life at and around the Games.

Erik Shoji, libero for U.S. Men's National Volleyball Team, documented Team USA Processing Day which involves athletes picking up their Olympic gear like the podium outfit from Nike and the opening ceremony outfit from Ralph Lauren.

Team USA women's rugby player Ilona Maher shows followers what it's like to trade pins with other Olympians inside the Olympic Village. She has also created an "Olympic Villa" of her own — the satirical, Olympic version of the villas found on Love Island.

Brat continues to be part of the largest cultural moments of the summer, and athletes continue to show they have a sense of humor, too.
