Felix set a new historical record for the Olympic Games
In the women's 400m final at the Tokyo Olympics, Felix won the bronze medal, becoming the female athlete with the most Olympic medals, and she successfully made history. She has now taken her performance even further, with her total number of medals reaching 11, including 7 gold, 3 silver and 1 bronze, making Carl Lewis, who has won 10 Olympic medals in more than 9 gold and 1 silver, become the first person in the history of the United States to live up to its name. The 35-year-old trails Finland's Pavo Nurmi by just one medal. Nurmi competed between 1920 and 1928, which also meant that no track and field athlete won more medals than Felix after World War II. The Tokyo Olympics are also Felix's fifth Olympics.
Felix became a true inspirational model of sport
Just two and a half years ago, Felix was pregnant in a life-threatening state, when doctors even asked her to choose either or the other because she was diagnosed with severe pre-eclampsia. For safety reasons, she was given birth to her daughter Kamlin by emergency caesarean section. Her contract with Nike has been stalled for a long time because of her pregnancy and has been told about a 70 percent pay cut and possible penalties. In order to fight for her legitimate rights and interests, she published articles in the media and actively fought for the legitimate rights and interests of herself and athletes. The publication of her article also forced Nike to change its contract with athletes, adding 18 months of salary and income guarantees for athletes during pregnancy and state instability. Felix said: "If athletes like me, who are very popular with Nike, can't get protection, then how can other people get protection?" Not just for myself, but for all athletes, I hope they, like me, can fight for their legitimate rights. You can also stand up proudly when everyone else is rejecting you. ”
