Olympic medalist Brittany Brown recently shared her thoughts on returning to the track after battling endometriosis and undergoing surgery. The prominent athlete will feature in the Grand Slam Track, held in Miami from May 2-4.
In September 2024, Brown won the 200-meter race event at the inaugural Athlos meet, defeating Olympic champion Gabby Thomas and Pan American Games medalist Alaysha Johnson.
During her discussion with Grand Slam Track, the iconic athlete said:
"I am four months post op from a surgery. So it has been very different this season going into training and whatnot. I have a condition called Endometriosis which is a disease that one in 10 women have. So it has been an exciting and up and down, ebbs and flows. My training it's very tough and my coach expects high expectations on and off the track."

She continued:
"I'm excited to be back out here. I'm super thankful for all the community members that have reached out and asked me if I'm okay and how I'm doing. I think track has always felt like home and I feel like track has always felt like my space."
Brown is a silver medalist from the 2019 World Championships in the 200 metres race event. In 2024, she won the same race event in the Diamond League. She was absent from the first Grand Slam Track meet, which was held in Kingston, Jamaica.
The Fontana, California native, also won a gold medal in the 2022 North American, Central American and Caribbean Championships in the 200 metres race event. In the 2023 World Championships, which took place in Budapest, Hungary, she clinched the seventh spot in the 100 metres.
