BREAKING NEWS: 11-time Olympic medalist Allyson Felix (@allysonfelix) has announced that she is running for election to the International Olympic Committee Athletes' Commission.
Felix currently serves as a representative for the IOC AC, which she was appointed to in 2022.
The U.S. track and field legend has transitioned into various other areas of sports and community activism since retiring from the sport after the Tokyo Olympics in 2021, including starting her own brand, @BySaysh, and being an outspoken advocate for maternity rights and other women's initiatives in sport and community.
The election will take place during the 2024 Paris Olympics where athletes will cast their votes.
Number 8!!
Firstly I want to congratulate and thank Ding. He’s an incredible player and an even better person. Secondly, I want to thank the support I’ve had all this week. You guys have been brilliant and I’m glad I could get the win for you.

Plus elle vieillit et plus elle va vite. Je vais peut-être détonné, ici, mais moi je n'y crois pas. Quand on vieillit surtout en sprint (et chaussures magique ou pas, piste rapide ou pas, manière de courir ou pas), on ne va pas plus vite que quand on avait 20 ans !
@secchi62 Des épiphénomènes. Je crois qu'on avait déjà parlé du cas Ottey, qui s'est "faite prendre par la patrouille" (selon l'expression consacrée) à la fin des années 90. Le cas SAFP me dépasse : claquer 10.66 sur piste mouillée avec 14°C de température me rend perplexe et suspicieux.
