Olympic fans are confused about genetically privileged sports stars – including Paraguayan swimmer hailed as ‘the next Livvy Dunne’

Tens of millions of people will tune in to the 2024 Olympic Games in Paris to watch the world’s best athletes compete for gold.

Viewers are also captivated by the genetically blessed athletes seen on their screens.

Some of the contestants are going viral on social media and some sports fans can’t get enough of their good looks.

Paraguayan swimmer Luana Alonso caused a stir on the internet this week when she announced her retirement at the age of 20.

Although she has left the world of Olympic swimming behind, Alonso, who studies at the University of Texas, undoubtedly has a bright career ahead of her in the spotlight.

Sports Illustrated has already wondered if the blonde beauty could become ‘the next Livvy Dunne’

With her blonde hair and sculpted body, Sports Illustrated has already tipped her as the potential ‘next Livvy Dunne.’

Dunne, of course, is the college gymnastics sensation who has earned millions of dollars thanks to lucrative sponsorship deals and a massive social media following.

While Alfonso still has a long way to go before she can match Dunne’s success, she already has over 380,000 followers on Instagram.

Fans have flooded the Olympic athlete’s page with praise, and she has decided to disable comments on her page to stop the onslaught.

Another beauty who is setting the internet on fire is German track and field athlete Alica Schmidt, who has been dubbed the world’s sexiest athlete.

The 25-year-old was named the ‘world’s sexiest athlete’ by an Australian magazine and the title has stuck with her ever since.

Alica often goes viral online and has over two million followers on TikTok and five million on Instagram.

Her social media posts are filled with hundreds of comments, with opinions divided between sports fans who praise her athletic skills and fans who simply want to admire her beauty.

While Alica is grateful that her social media followers have provided her with some great sponsorship opportunities, she is adamant that sports is her top priority.

“The training is of course the main focus and everything else comes after that,” she said Olympic Games.com until 2022.

“But I also like to do some modeling or take people with me on social media. That’s a big hobby of mine and I love doing it. But the focus is mainly on sports.

It’s not just the ladies who are racking up the likes and followers; a number of male athletes are also going viral during the Paris Olympics.
