When you have over 400 hungry Australian athletes in the Olympic Village, you need a game plan to keep them fuelled. The solution? A whopping 2,400 meat pies from Four’N’Twenty, the “Official Pie of Team Australia.”
When hunger strikes at the Olympic Village in Paris, Aussie athletes turn to a surprising snack: meat pies! Over 400 athletes from Team Australia are devouring 2,400 pies supplied by Four’N’Twenty, earning the title of the “Official Pie of Team Australia.”
These iconic Aussie pies have become a staple snack for the athletes. Just ask Sergei Evglevski, an Olympic Shooter, who swears by the power of pie for performance.

But it’s not just pies on the menu—Australian breakfast traditions are also making waves. Forget croissants; Aussie athletes prefer a hearty bowl of cereal, with 1.4 tonnes shipped over for their morning fuel. While Weet-Bix and Nutri-Grain are likely favourites, who knows who sneaks in some Coco Pops?
The pantry in the Aussie section is a treasure trove of energy-packed goodies. From 20,000 shots of coffee to 9,700 slushies, 10,000 muesli bars, and even Taco Tuesdays featuring 30kg of Old El Paso salsa.
Here’s hoping this feast fuels our Aussie athletes to bring home the gold!
