This year, the 400-meter tracks of Budapest witnessed several heartbreaking moments. Olympic champion Steven Gardiner, attempting to reclaim his title, suffered a traumatic injury on the tracks and was escorted back in a wheelchair. Following a similar storyline, another track and field star faced disappointment on the 400-meter tracks of Budapest this year.

22-year-old U.S. track and field sensation Britton Wilson collapsed while trying to secure her ticket to the finals in the 400-meter heats. However, Wilson, who still managed to secure the 8th position on the tracks in 53.87 seconds and was escorted back in a wheelchair, has reignited the faith of her fans. Days after the event, the rising track and field sensation was spotted proudly showcasing her deal with a 5 million dollar brand, all while wearing a wide smile.

Track and field sensation shows off her brand deal

On Sunday, Track Spice posted several photos of Britton Wilson’s collaboration with the million-dollar skincare brand Alba Botanica with the caption “Britton Wilson x Alba Botanica.” In the pictures, the 400-meter track and field athlete was seen proudly displaying her Alba Botanica products, including their SPF 50 Hawaiian Sunscreen and SPF 50 Coconut Sunscreen Spray, all with a bright smile.

Back in July, the 22-year-old athlete had also promoted the skincare brand by sharing a ‘try out the Alba Botanica sunscreen with me’ reel on Instagram. In the video, while emphasizing the importance of sun protection as a track and field athlete, Wilson discussed the key qualities of sunscreen with her more than 40k followers on Instagram. However, this is not the first top-tier brand deal secured by Wilson. Earlier in July, the soaring NCAA athlete turned professional after signing a deal with the billion-dollar brand, Adidas.
