And while the social media star soon became the most-followed collegiate athlete on the web – with more than 6.7 million followers across her platforms now – she wasn’t allowed to make any money from her internet endeavors, due to the NCAA’s strict policy about its members selling sponsorships.

That is, until June 30, 2021, when the organization changed its rules, announcing that it would allow its athletes to earn a profit off of their name, image, and likeness.

One month later, Olivia signed with Endeavor Talent Agency’s WME Sports, and in September, she announced that she had landed a partnership with activewear brand Vuori – which Forbes reported was worth ‘mid-six figures.’

And while she was quickly flooded with opportunities from other companies who wanted to work with her, she told the outlet that she was going to be picky, and only choose ones that were ‘authentic to her.’

‘We have some of the same core values, and I think it’s so great how they care about the environment,’ she gushed of Vuori. ‘They are also committed to happiness, and that’s really important to me.’

She added that while gymnastics is her number one, fashion has always been a ‘huge passion of hers.’

‘Before college, my coach and I would design my own custom leotards for all my major competitions. I love expressing myself through my style,’ she revealed. 

‘Social media is always something that I’ve loved, and what I think is so great about the NIL rule change is that you can do whatever you love and make money off of it.’

As for the pressures that come along with having such a large following, the sports star and college student explained that she takes the responsibility very seriously.

‘I just want to be a role model to young girls. I want to set a good example, and I want to send out a message that we’re more than just our sport. That’s very important to me,’ she told the outlet. 

‘I don’t try to put any pressure on myself, and I don’t try to compare myself to other people. I’m kind of just going with the flow, and it’s very exciting.

‘Right now it’s all about trying to find a balance between school, social media and gymnastics. All them are top priorities in my life.
