Alessandra Fumagalli may not be that well-known outside of her sport, but NF fans have grown fond of her. She has just over 2,000 followers on Instagram, and many of them have arrived within the past week.

That is due to a recent video that was posted just before her Bobsleigh event. The top-ranking Italian was introduced to fans watching on TV when her name and picture came up. Much like the NFL, she was moving around in her introduction.

Once she lifted her head, she also brought up a bowl of spaghetti and began eating it casually.

NFL fans have become accustomed to introductions where players state their names and mention the college they attended. Over the years, many players have begun saying other things in their place. Just last month, San Francisco 49ers star cornerback Deommodore Lenoir introduced himself as a “San Francisco hyena.”

The month before that, Joey Porter Jr. appeared on the screen and introduced himself as the “King of the North.” In September, Kyle Van Noy stated that he came from “UNC University.”

How Fans Reacted To Alessandra Fumagalli

Italian Bobsleigh star Alessandra Fumagalli has social media going nuts over her eating spaghetti in her introduction bio. The moment led to funny reactions online.

“Italians are remarkably stereotypical. I’m sure there are some that don’t love pasta, don’t talk loudly with their hands, and don’t drink red wine, but I have yet to meet one,” one person said.

“Queen,” a second person wrote.

“Eat pasta, go fasta,” a third person said of the Italian.

“Perhaps the greatest Italian person of all sports in all eras is a skeletonist,” a fourth person added of Alessandra Fumagalli.

In the IBSF World Championships 2024, Fumagalli finished in 20th place in her first run. She was 18th in the second run, 21st in her 3rd run, and 19th in her final run, per Wikipedia.
