The Olympic Games™ engagement report
@Olympics - 5.8M followers on X
Measured over 155 original posts from a 30-day window, last computed on August 31, 2026.
Engagement
A typical post picks up 100 interactions against 5.8M followers, an engagement rate of 0.002%. Measured over 155 original posts, its engagement rate beats 23% of 3,739 tracked accounts of a similar size. That is a reason to look at how the audience behaves - reply depth, saves, whether the followers are recent - rather than a conclusion about it on its own. Posts are seen about 49K times each, and 0.206% of those impressions turn into an interaction. That is about 0.836% of the follower count, which is the gap between an audience on paper and an audience in a timeline. Posting runs at about 5.8 posts a day over the last 30 days, with activity on roughly 67% of days. Most posts go out around 11:00 UTC, and Friday is the busiest day of the week. Of the 155 posts sampled, 99% carry an image or video and 6% are part of a thread. The account's strongest tracked post pulled 2.7K interactions, about 27x its own typical post. Recurring topics include #olympics, #roadtola28, #paris2024.

Compared with accounts its own size
The Olympic Games™'s engagement rate beats 23% of the tracked X accounts closest to it in follower count (3,739 accounts, accounts of similar size (decile 10 of 10)). A percentile is spread evenly by construction, so 50 really is the middle of that group and 90 really is its top tenth.
On engagement per impression rather than per follower it beats 20% of the same group. When those two numbers disagree, the gap is about how far its posts travel rather than how people react to them.

At 0.002%, The Olympic Games™ sits above the 10th percentile of the 36,261 accounts in this comparison. That places it in the bottom 25% band, which runs below 0.012%.

Posting timing
This account posts most often around 11:00 UTC, and Friday is its busiest day of the week. The bars below are the catalog-wide pattern, with this account's own busiest slot marked. They do not show how this account performs at each hour: we keep one aggregate per account, not one per hour, so that measurement does not exist in our data.

- What is The Olympic Games™'s engagement rate on X?
- The Olympic Games™ (@Olympics) has an engagement rate of 0.002%, based on the median interactions across 155 original posts from the last 30 days against 5,808,229 followers. Replies, reposts and quote-posts of other people are excluded from that sample.
- Is that a good engagement rate?
- At 0.002%, The Olympic Games™ sits above the 10th percentile of the 36,261 accounts in this comparison. Those comparison accounts are all large ones, because our scanning cadence is weighted towards big accounts, so this is a ranking among peers of similar scale rather than a ranking across X.
- Does @Olympics have real engagement?
- Its engagement rate beats 23% of the tracked X accounts closest to it in follower count (3,739 accounts), which puts it in the bottom quarter for its size group. Ranking inside a size band matters because engagement rate falls as accounts grow, so a raw rate would mostly re-measure the follower count. It is a starting point for a look at follower quality, not a verdict on it.
- When does @Olympics post?
- Most posts go out around 11:00 UTC, and Friday is its busiest day, at roughly 5.77 posts per day across the measured window.
