Mya Azzopardi, a Maltese swimmer, has quickly become a social media sensation.
The 20-year-old San Jose State Spartan, who has represented Malta on multiple occasions, has recently gained popularity on Instagram and TikTok.
Azzopardi has over 60,000 followers on both platforms and regularly updates her fans with shots from her daily life, as well as glamorous snaps from her travels and lip-syncing videos.
Fans have described Azzopardi as “out of this world” and “way too pretty” on TikTok.
One even described her as “the most beautiful woman I’ve ever seen.”
According to FINA, Azzopardi has eight gold medals, six silver medals, and three bronze medals on the international stage.
These include national titles and three podium finishes while representing Malta at the 18th Small States of Europe Games in 2019.
Azzopardi has set numerous national records, including the Women’s 200 and 400 Freestyle, the Women’s 100, 200, and 400 Medley, and the Women’s 100 and 200 Backstroke.
She recently finished seventh in the 800-yard relay for SJSU at the CSCAA National Invitational Championship in Elkhart, Indiana.
The Spartans eventually finished nineteenth out of 54 teams.
Azzopardi was recently dubbed the “prettiest” by her teammate, Andreea Dragoi, who knows a thing or two about social media stardom.
She is a 20-year-old model and swimmer who has over 60,000 followers on Instagram and TikTok and regularly posts glamorous snaps from the West Coast.
Dragoi also competes in beauty pageants and was crowned Miss Ambassador and Miss California US Nation this year.
Dragoi and Azzopardi, dubbed the “next Olivia Dunne” by fans, trail the massive online following of the LSU swimmer known as Livvy.
Dunne, who became a millionaire at the age of 18, has over 11 million online followers and an annual value of around $3.4 million, according to On3.She has rapidly become one of the faces of NIL deals – with the NCAA having legalized athletes profiting off of their name, image, and likeness back in the summer of 2021.
