Felix had rejected Nike back in 2019 as they introduced a pay cut in her contract and provided no post-pregnancy benefits.

There came Athleta and Felix sided with them. Now Felix’s daughter is two years old and caught the attention of everybody including Biles when she came on track during the Olympic trials.
