The video came in response to a fan who asked if athletes at the Winter Olympics were given cardboard beds similar to last summer. "I am so excited you asked this question because I have something incredible to share," Britcher said. "Because not only do we not have cardboard beds here, but it's as if the Beijing organizing committee said, 'How can we just absolutely just one up Tokyo?'"The video then cuts to Britcher showing off the remote-controlled bed that athletes were given during their stay. The remote appeared to have as many as eight settings.A fellow athlete in Britcher's room examined the remote and then asked, "What's Zero-G mode?"<div type="image" title="An interior view of athlete's apartment at Beijing Winter Olympic Village." height="3965" width="5287" msid="89231312" hostid="261"></div>Britcher later appeared in the video while lying on her bed.

US Winter Olympics athlete says the remote-controlled beds in Beijing have one-upped the cardboard beds in Tokyo

The snowboarder, who <a href="https://www.tiktok.com/@tessamaud_?lang=en">has over 56,000 followers</a> on TikTok, <a href="https://www.tiktok.com/@tessamaud_/video/7060210519734750510">shared a video about the bed</a> on February 3 after a person asked whether winter Olympians were given the famous <keyword id="13147577" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="60" keywordseo="cardboard" source="Orion">cardboard</keyword> beds from the <keyword id="11893857" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="60" keywordseo="tokyo-2020" source="Orion">Tokyo 2020</keyword> Summer Games. In the video, which has amassed over 255,000 views at the time of writing, Maud shows the bed off in what she describes as its "breathing mode" where two sides of the bed are "lifted up." She shows how the beds have a remote that can put them in all different sorts of modes. "Last night I slept in zero gravity mode and it was amazing," she says in the video. "I didn't wake up one time and I slept from 7:30 to 5 a.m., so I'm very happy about it." According to Maud, the zero gravity mode is when the bed elevates your head and feet so you sleep in it "like an M-shape."<div type="image" title="An interior view of athlete's apartment at Beijing Winter Olympic Village in December 2022." height="4893" width="6524" msid="89486736" hostid="261"></div>"I love this bed, literally obsessed," she concludes in the video.

"She was so sad, she's like 'I cannot believe we had to deal with these awful beds and you guys get these good ones. I'm so jealous,'" Maud said."We lucked out," she added. Her love for them has since gone on to catch the attention of the manufacturers, who she said have offered to send her some for back home. "They actually reached out to me and they're going to send me some beds, I'm so excited about it," she said.
