Gymnast Giorgia Villa’s cheese sponsor photos might be the most amazing thing to come out of the Olympics
Italian athlete Giorgia Villa recently scooped the silver medal in Artistic Gymnastics at the Paris 2024 Olympics, but she’s gone on to achieve viral fame with her sponsorship photos that see her posing with large wheels of parmesan cheese.
The image series, captured by action and sports photographer Gabriele Seghizzi, reflect Villa’s position as a brand ambassador for Parmigiano Reggiano Cheese Consortium. But it was thanks to a post from the X account Women Posting W’s that propelled the amazing photos into the big time.

She’s sponsored by parmesan cheese and loves posing with large wheels of cheese – talk about a grate partnership.
Giorgia’s got the perfect blend of strength, flexibility, and cheesy charm.

These actually would have been better with no explanation. Just an Olympic gymnast hugging her cheese, don’t know why and it’s none of my business https://t.co/7KHKvN0iTY
