Allyson Felix is a force.
American track and field sprinter Allyson Felix was previously the only runner tied with Usain Bolt in holding the most medals – but Felix just broke that tie with her 12th gold medal, only 10 months after having given birth. Felix won the medal on September 29 at the 17th IAAF World Athletics Championships in Doha, Qatar in the mixed – gender 4x400 meters relay.
Felix is now sponsored by Athleta, and is the brand's first sponsorship, according to its parent company Gap, Inc. And her story changed minds, too: after Felix’s Times piece, Nike changed its policy to ensure that female athletes will not be"adversely impacted financially for pregnancy." Of the change in rule, Felix told People, “I think it’s just the power of the collective. The more voices that come together creates change. I felt like even though it was a little scary for me just to join the conversation and to have something to add, I think that there was power in those stories.”
