“Allyson Felix is a huge inspiration to all of us. She inspires not only women but all people who have experienced difficult challenges in life. By taking those challenges and turning them into motivation, Allyson has achieved much in her career being the only US athlete to win 3 Olympic gold medals since 1988 as well as her numerous World Championship titles,” says Courtney Cole-Faso, Country Marketing Manager, Nike Philippines. “Allyson’s story can be compared to the spirit and courage of Filipinos who have experienced challenges in life but still choose to rise above those challenges and succeed”.
