Looking at her track record, she is a 3-time world champion between 2005-2009, 3-time Olympic medalist (silver medal in 2004, 2008 Olympics and gold medal in 2012 Olympics).
In November 2018 Felix battled preeclampsia after a hard-fought tussle for 32 weeks she gave birth to her daughter. Felix was among the few who pressurized Nike to modify the maternity policies for the sponsored athletes.
After the hard-fought tussle, she finally forced Nike to change maternity policies and ensured that pregnant athletes don’t get affected for 18 months, which was 6 months more than old policy policies.
