There's a lot to admire about athletes. From dedicating hours and days to rigorous traning to displaying grace under pressure during high-stakes competitions, athletes can be quite the formidable presence on the court or out in the field.
Other than being aces in their respective sports, a lot of today's top athletes are also bringing their A-game to a different platform: TikTok! Like any other trend-savvy internet dweller, quite a handful of sports personalities have made their way to the popular app, and it's safe to say they aren't backing down from taking on a TikTok challenge or two.
From Olympic legends to UAAP greats, here are a few Pinoy athletes owning the TikTok scene:
Kianna Dy (@kiannady_)
The former De La Salle University volleyball star player brought her A-game to TikTok, and she also occasionally brings along her fellow volleyball athletes and boyfriend Dwight Ramos (who also happens to be quite the star in his sport as well).

Ricci Rivero (@riccipaolorivero)
UAAP basketball star Ricci Rivero is quite the internet personality himself, so it was only a matter of time before he started winning hearts on TikTok, too.
