This Olympic Snowboarder Just Revealed She Gets Nervous Poops Before Dropping Into The Halfpipe, And Honestly, I'm Prairie-Dogging Just Looking At Her View From The Top

Olympians: They're just like us!

This is Maddie Mastro, a US Olympic snowboarder and someone you should *definitely* be following on TikTok if you're not already.

She's also a normal person. A relatable, honest, normal person...........who gets Nervous Poops™.

Specifically, when she's about to drop into the Beijing 2022 halfpipe — at least, that's what she joked about in this TikTok.

In the video, Maddie shows us the view from the top of the Olympic halfpipe, and tbh, it's MUCH STEEPER THAN I EXPECTED......???!?!?!?!

Our #RelatableQueen then validates us ✨anxiety-prone IBS girlies✨ by normalizing the sudden and all-consuming urge to drop a doink at the very first second we experience fear and/or dread.

And yeah, she says it via a voice-over effect, but its message rings true.

'Cause, like, I'm honestly in the early stages of backdoor crowning just looking at this screenshot.

It's that same feeling of how, when you walk into a Starbucks and smell all the coffee, your hole just instinctively puckers...yeah, that.

But yeah, I have to commend Maddie for bringing this deeply stigmatized conversation to the forefront. It's 2022, people. Nervous poops are REAL, and even Olympians aren't immune.

And more so, I'm just so impressed that Maddie — as well as all other Olympic snowboarders, for that matter — is brave enough to even go down the halfpipe, never mind doing so without soiling those Volcom-sponsored Beijing 2022 snow pants.

Thank you for speaking up and living your truth, Maddie. You are an inspiration, and you are most definitely not alone. 😌💕 #NormalizeNervousPoops2022
