The statement that is an example of an appeal to authority fallacy is:
"This Olympic athlete personally uses our weighted blanket and says it is a scientifically advanced product."
This statement relies on the authority of the Olympic athlete to validate the effectiveness of the weighted blanket, rather than providing scientific evidence or research to support the claim. The athlete's endorsement may not necessarily reflect the actual merits of the product.
