Allyson Felix was in the limelight at the ESPY Awards 2024 as she graced the event with her presence. The former track-and-field athlete donned an eye-catching attire at the function and paired it up with a unique hair style.

Felix is one of the most decorated track-and-field athletes ever and retired in 2022. Following that, she has been working on her brand, 'Saysh', and is advocating for the maternal health of athletes. The American won seven ESPY awards in the course of her career.

In 2006, she won the Best Female Track Athlete award, while in 2008, 2010, and 2011, she won the Best Track and Field Athlete Award. She again shined bright in 2017 and 2022, when she won the Best US Female Olympian Award. She also won the Best Record-Breaking Performance award in 2022.

Felix attended the 2024 ESPY Awards and shared her experience on Instagram. She shared a bunch of pictures in which she donned a magnificent white-colored floral dress and paired it with black-colored pencil heels. Another factor that turned heads was her unique hairstyle. Her hair was tightly plated and then styled as frills in the end. She also shared a picture where she was seen sharing a stage with NBA player Candace Parker.

Allyson Felix introduced a nursery for athletic mothers at the Olympic village

Allyson Felix has done an exceptional job by introducing a nursery for the athletes with children in the Olympic village for the very first time. Felix had gone through various trials and tribulations in her career after having her first pregnancy. After her controversy with Nike, who, she said was disrespectful towards her during her pregnancy, she became one of the biggest advocates for maternal health. Recently, she promised to make the necessary changes for the comfort of athletes with children.

"I just knew how difficult it was to compete at the top level after I had my daughter, when I joined the Athletes Commission of the IOC, I really wanted to be that voice for athlete moms, and just take away one less thing for them to worry about in the pressure of competition," Allyson Felix said.

After this promise, she introduced the nursery and also formed a heartfelt appreciation from Melinda French Gates, who said:

"Applauding the amazing @allysonfelix for creating a space where athletes who are moms can nurse and spend time with their babies at the Paris Olympics this summer."

In 2024, Allyson Felix will be attending the Olympics for the first time as a spectator. She has collaborated with Yahoo as a correspondent to report on all the track and field events at the Paris Olympics 2024.
