Sport on TikTok this week: Neymar, Cristiano Ronaldo and graceful rugby players

Despite sport coming out of lockdown across the globe, sports stars are using social media to occupy themselves and their fans during their free time.

TikTok, the world's fastest-growing social media platform, is proving to be the ideal place to find amusing videos including dance moves, comedy bits and the like at home.

Even with sport stars and athletes returning to competition, there is more entertainment available than ever.

Here is the week in sport on TikTok...

Neymar gets involved

Fashionably late, the world's most expensive football signed up this week and has already amassed 3.4m followers. His best showing so far? The #DropChallenge, of course.

Juve arrive

@juventus

Making our TikTok debut with Cristiano doing...wait for it 🔥👈 Say ##CIAOJUVE 👋 by using the celebrations in our filter! 📲

♬ Shout Out (No Vox) - Clutch

They may be the 'Old Lady' but Juve are kicking it with the kids as they also joined TikTok this week. How do you make an impression? Get Cristiano Ronaldo involved.

Wimbledon

We had to do without the world's best tennis tournament this year, but that hasn't stopped the All England Club from reminding us of some classic moments from years past.

Chelsea's new look

@chelseafc

Giving that new home shirt a taste of Stamford Bridge! 😍💙 ##chelsea ##football ##slowmo ##fyp ##foryou ##slowmochallenge

♬ Tadow - Masego & FKJ

A fresh set of garms for Chelsea next season and the club gave fans a glimpse of the getup last week.

Rugby gets Dirty (Dancing)

And, finally, rugby. A game for hard sportspersons... and those with some grace. As evidenced above.
