On Monday 11-time Olympic medalist Allyson Felix appeared on Jimmy Kimel Live to reflect on the Games and also to discuss her new shoe brand Saysh.
According to People:
During the show, while talking to guest host Stephen A. Smith, Felix also sent some love and support to Richardson.
Smith, an ESPN commentator, asked Felix to send the 21-year-old sprinter a message in light of “what she endured” both before and after what would have been her first Olympics.
“I know that she’s obviously been through so much and I hope that she’s just supported. I hope people rally around her,” Felix responded. “Obviously she has a great personality and she’s brought a lot of attention to the sport and I think she’ll be in the sport for a very long time.”
She continued, “I think just more than anything, for all athletes, there’s so much that goes into it. Just give her the support that she needs.”
