Allyson Felix, Pampers to launch first-ever nursery at Paris Olympics
View Date:2024-12-23 14:12:22
Allyson Felix, the most decorated female track and field Olympian ever, is headed to the Paris Games with a different objective. Felix has teamed up with Pampers to create the first-ever Pampers Nursery in the Athletes Village at the Paris Olympics.
“I just knew how difficult it was to compete at the top level after I had my daughter, and some practical things were really hard. And so when I joined the Athletes Commission of the IOC, I really wanted to be that voice for athlete moms, and just take away one less thing for them to worry about in the pressure of competition,” Felix said in a statement.
The nursery will ensure parent athletes are cared for and supported at the Olympics. According to the IOC and IOC Athletes’ Commission, the nursery is designed for children of diaper-wearing age. It will provide a comfortable and calm environment featuring private breastfeeding space, safe play areas and changing facilities.
Felix, a mother's and women’s rights advocate, is also teaming up with Pampers to support preemie parents. Felix and Pampers are working together to donate up to one million preemie diapers to NICUs across the country.
Felix’s 11 career Olympic medals, including seven golds, are the most ever by a track and field woman. The 38-year-old competed in five total Olympics. She retired from track and field in 2022.
