Silver medalist Giorgia Villa from Italy has had one of the most unique brand deals among 2024 Paris Olympics athletes, and she's going viral for it.
Villa, who was a part of Italy's runner-up finish behind the United States in the women's gymnastics team competition, was sponsored by Parmesan. Yes, literally Parmigiano Reggiano.

While it's unclear if she's still sponsored by cheese, Villa went viral on Wednesday when an account on X, formerly known as Twitter, shared pictures of Villa posing with large wheels of cheese in 2021. She hasn't posted any advertisement content for the company since 2022.
While it seems she's no longer sponsored by Parmesan, it still gave the masses some of the most amusing brand content by an athlete out there. The first batch of pictures shared of Villa with the cheese has garnered over 11 million impressions on X as of Wednesday night.
