TAMPA, Fla. (WFLA) — During the height of three-time Olympic medalist Brooke Bennett’s stardom, it was not just Bennett who stole the show.
A video from the 1990s, a time when Bennett was competing in the Olympics, shows off the Olympian’s pet pig, Noelle, who was just 7 months old.
“She gets into a lot of things in my room,” Bennett had said in the video. “She’s a lot of fun, she does a lot of funny things.”
Bennett told WFLA’s J.B. Biunno in the “What’s Hot in Paris” livestream that she got Noelle as a Christmas gift in 1995. Noelle lived to be about 16 years old.
The swimmer said she was only allowed Cheerios as a kid, but when she was allowed to have Lucky Charms, she fell in love.
“She did love Lucky Charms,” Bennett said of Noelle.
WFLA’s JB Biunno and Olympic champion Brooke Bennett discuss “What’s Hot in Paris,” live-streamed daily throughout the Games beginning at 11 a.m. ET.
