Olympian Allyson Felix On Finding Her Voice as an Advocate for Moms
By A Mystery Man Writer
Description
The 5-time Olympian (!!) on her path to Tokyo, how motherhood made her an advocate, and her participation in P&G’s Good is Gold campaign (watch with tissues!).
When Allyson Felix crossed the finish line of the 400-meter finals at the U.S. Olympic Trials in Eugene, Oregon, last month, sprinting from behind in lane 8, there was a moment of hesitation before the results flashed. Had she done it? Had the 35-year-old mother of one edged out enough of her competitors to earn her fifth Olympic berth? The answer — as usual when it comes to Felix and all things Olympics — was a resounding yes. Felix’s spectacular finish was good enough for second place, and as she sank to the track, both relief and joy were evident
