Record-breaking woman Felix takes bronze at the last World Cup start

For the 36-year-old mother of one, it was the 19th World Cup medal of her career; no one in the world has more. Felix became world champion 13 times. As number two in the rankings, the Jamaican sprinter Usain Bolt won a total of 14 medals at world championships in his career, eleven of which were gold.

On the first day of competition at the World Championships in Eugene, the USA were on course for gold up to 100 meters, but then had to admit defeat to the Dominican Republic and the quartet from the Netherlands on Friday (local time). The Dominican Republic's 3:09,82 minutes were the world's best for the year. Google celebrates Felix Anyone who wanted to know more about Felix after the race and entered her name into the Google search engine was in for a surprise. The internet giant honored the outstanding career of the track and field athlete, who won a total of 30 medals at the Olympic Games and World Championships, with an animation and the words “Olympian. Mother. Advocate” (German for example: Olympian. Mother. Advocate).

The animation first showed Felix as a cartoon character running across the screen and then, after congratulating her on her 20-year career, laughing and holding a child in her arms and waving. “That’s so cool,” said the 36-year-old, whose greatest legacy is probably the fight for more equality for women in competitive sports. Because she took on the sporting goods manufacturer Nike after the birth of her daughter, athletes around the world no longer have to fear being financially disadvantaged by the US company or other equipment suppliers because of a pregnancy and losing their salary and bonuses.
