艾麗森.菲利克斯

不過，從好處看，菲利克斯能有更多時間陪伴先生肯尼斯•弗格森以及幼女卡姆林。

由於卡姆林會走路了，所以菲利克斯甚至還能在鍛鍊的時候看到她，因為卡姆林很喜歡看媽媽運動。

菲利克斯在二O一八年十一月時早產生下卡姆林，過了八個月才完全恢復狀態。

那段期間，她正好與贊助商耐吉處於新合約協商階段。

她決定利用這個機會設法改變企業對待懷孕婦女及其產後相關的方式。

菲利克斯堅持要耐吉保證不會因為她的表現在分娩前後幾個月間有所下滑而懲罰她。

耐吉拒絕了，因此菲利克斯公開批評這家公司。

在菲利克斯的批評指責後，耐吉更改了公司政策。

不過，菲利克斯選擇不回頭，轉而與另外一家服飾品牌阿仕利塔簽訂新合約。

此次奧運結束之後，菲利克斯打算邁入人生的下一個階段。

不論她接下來要做什麼事，成為頂尖奧運選手所需的努力與決心都會為她帶來莫大助益。
