Being one of the most prominent names in the track and field realm she has delivered commendable performances in her journey and is now retired, building a business of her own. She has waved America’s flag a lot of times with her staunch skills and is considered one of the most decorated female Olympians. She is the only female track and field athlete to ever win six Olympic gold medals. She has won a total of 31 medals combining her Olympic and World Championships, among which 11 are Olympic medals. Even after having this prowess, she faced a very disappointing treatment. She recently shared an update about the same on her social media. OLYMPIC ATHLETE’S DISAPPOINTING EXPERIENCE Allyson Felix took to her Instagram stories to share a difficulty she faces almost regularly. She uploaded a video of the security check in the airport (TSA) where her bags were being checked. She raised the concern of how she faces this issue almost every time she travels with her medals. In her Instagram story, she expressed, [https://www.instagram.com/stories/allysonfelix/3260002591006285334/?utm_source=ig_story_item_share&igshid=MzY1NDJmNzMyNQ] “Whenever I have to travel with the medals it’s always an issue for TSA“. She faced this concern in the Los Angeles International Transport. Allyson Felix at the Tokyo Olympics 2020 [https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/GettyImages-1333798344.jpg] Apparently, this concern has been faced by others as well in the past and some rules were released regarding this issue. However, the Olympic medals are subject to import duty, and the sporting medals and the trophies have always had an easy passage across the border. Despite this, issues like what was faced by Allyson Felix have been faced by a major team. INCIDENT FACED BY A RENOWNED TEAM The issue of TSA with trophies and medals while traveling is not a hidden concern. Before the application of the 2013 rule in which all the trophies, medals, and others were made duty-free, an unfortunate incident took place. The ICC Cricket World Cup faced a crisis because its trophy was seized at the airport.

They raised a replica of the trophy as the real one was confiscated by the Mumbai customs. This happened when it was arriving from Colombo after the Sri Lanka-New Zealand semi-final. So, incidents like this have been a problem in the past for athletes, and the track legend Allyson Felix faces the same concern too.

The Olympic athlete, Allyson Felix revealed a regular disappointment faced by her even after securing multiple accolades in her career!

Like the previous years, the Paris Olympics in 2024 will not be an exception. The game will include a number of new elements. However, this year, the inclusion of breaking as an official sport at the Paris 2024 Olympics marks a significant moment in recognizing urban dance culture within the global sports community.Â 

Breaking, originating from the streets of the Bronx in the 1970s, has evolved into a highly skilled and respected art form, embodying athleticism, creativity, and cultural expression.

However, the decision to include Breaking in the Paris 2024 Olympics underscores the evolving nature of the Olympic Games, embracing new forms of athleticism and cultural significance. As Breaking athletes, known as B-Boys and B-Girls, prepare to showcase their talent on the world stage, the event promises to captivate audiences with its dynamic energy and creativity.

With La Concorde set as the backdrop for the Breaking competition, spectators can anticipate an electrifying atmosphere as competitors engage in intense 1v1 battles to the rhythm of random beats curated by a DJ. This fusion of music, movement, and competition embodies the spirit of Breaking, celebrating its roots in hip-hop culture while embracing its evolution as a recognized sport.
<h2 style="text-align: center">Paris Olympics 2024 logo</h2>
The Paris Olympics 2024 logo is composed of five indivisible elements. These elements also reflect our ideal actions and show who we are. However, for the first time in history, the Olympics and Paralympics will use the same emblem as logos.Â 

The Paris Olympics 2024 symbol is a combination of three separate elements: the gold medal, the flame, and Marianne (the female figure representing the French Republic).Â 
<h2 style="text-align: center">Paris Olympic 2024 Mascot</h2>
The Paris 2024 Olympic mascot is named "Olympic Phryg," inspired by the Phrygian cap, a symbol of freedom and revolution. It represents allegorical figures of the French Republic, embodying the values of liberty, equality, and also fraternity. The choice of the mascot reflects the spirit of the Olympic Games and the cultural significance of France. However, this year a pair named "Les Phryges" will represent the Olympics as mascots.Â 
<h2 style="text-align: center">What to expect from the Paris 2024 Olympics opening ceremony</h2>
The Paris 2024 Olympics opening ceremony promises to be unique and memorable. The opening ceremony will feature a spectacular floating parade along the Seine River. Athletes representing 200 countries will board 100 boats for a 3.7-mile journey. This parade will offer a visually stunning and symbolic start to the Olympic Games.

The parade route will wind past significant landmarks in Paris, including the National Library and the Cathedral of Notre Dame. The floating parade symbolizes unity and cooperation among nations as they celebrate the Olympic spirit.Â 

After the river parade, athletes will gather in a stadium in the Trocadero park to light the Olympic Flame.Â 

Overall, the Paris 2024 Olympics opening ceremony promises to be a grand and innovative spectacle. It will be a momentous occasion that captures the world's attention and sets the stage for an unforgettable Olympic Games.
<h2 style="text-align: center">How to get tickets for Paris Olympics 2024Â Â </h2>
Paris Olympics 2024 tickets are on sale to everyone worldwide. However, they are sold on a "first come, first served" basis. Anyone can buy the tickets through the official Paris 2024 website. Many sessions are already sold out, as people are crazy to be part of this prestigious Olympics and want to see their admiring champions competing.Â 

But there is nothing to worry about. New batches of tickets are regularly added so everyone can get the chance. However, the prices start at 24 euros (Â£21) for the Olympic events and 15 euros (Â£13) for the Paralympic games.Â 
<h2 style="text-align: center">How to watch the 2024 Paris Olympics</h2>
Though the Paris Olympics will go from July 26-Aug to 11, 2024, but the Opening Ceremony for the games will take place on July 26. There will be various events such as handball, rugby, soccer, and archery starting on July 24 and 25.

NBC and Peacock will broadcast live Olympic events, including finals in track, field, swimming, and gymnastics, both morning and afternoon. NBC will provide nine hours of daily daytime coverage. Also, there will be an enhanced three-hour primetime show in every night during the games. These will feature behind-the-scenes access, new technology, and athlete insights.

<h2 class="jsx-3677412058">Allyson Felix 2023: Net Worth, Salary, and Endorsements</h2>
In terms of longevity, no other athlete comes close to Allyson Felix. She is a track runner and a field sprinter. Moreover, she won 11 Olympic medals from five consecutive Olympic Games and cemented her legacy amongst the greats. She has taken part in a lot of competitions like the 4x400-meter relay, 4x100-meter relay, 100 meters, 200 meters, and 400 meters. Likewise, she is the most decorated US track and field athlete.

[caption id="attachment_735099" align="aligncenter" width="1920"]<img class="wp-image-735099 size-full" src="https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/2021-08-07T131244Z_7964080_SP1EH8710P3CZ_RTRMADP_3_OLYMPICS-2020-ATH-W-4X400M-FNL-000100.jpg" alt="Allyson Felix" width="1920" height="1330" /> Tokyo 2020 Olympics - Athletics - Women's 4 x 400m Relay - Final - Olympic Stadium, Tokyo, Japan - August 7, 2021.

<h3>Early Life</h3>
The legendary sprinter was born on 18 November 1985 to Paul and Marlean. She attended school in North Hills during her early years. After that, in 2003, Track and Field News named her 'High School Athlete of the Year.' Her performances led to Adidas signing a contract in 2003 while they sponsored her college education at the University of Southern California.

She is married to Kenneth Ferguson and has a daughter named Camryn who was born in 2018.
<h3>Athletics Career</h3>
The legendary sprinter began her Olympic career at Athens Olympics in 2004 and won the silver medal in the 200-meters. Then, she became the youngest gold medalist at World Championships in Helsinki as she won 200 meters.

Her career skyrocketed from there as she added another silver medal in the 200-meter competition at the 2008 Beijing Olympics. Then, she took part in the 4x400m relay with Team USA and won her first Olympic gold medal.

After her success, she decided to focus on the 200 and 400-meters events in addition to different relay events. The 2012 London Olympics saw her <a href="https://www.lottie.com/blogs/strong-women/allyson-felix-biography-for-kids" target="_blank" rel="noopener">winning</a> three gold medals in the 200 m, 4x400 m relay, and 4x100 m relay. Her medal tally made her the second American to win three gold medals in a single Olympic Games.

[caption id="attachment_761678" align="aligncenter" width="1920"]<img class="wp-image-761678 size-full" src="https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/GettyImages-1177925276.jpg" alt="Allyson Felix" width="1920" height="1280" /> DOHA, QATAR - SEPTEMBER 29: Allyson Felix of the United States reacts after setting a new world record in the 4x400 Metres Mixed Relay during day three of 17th IAAF World Athletics Championships Doha 2019 at Khalifa International Stadium on September 29, 2019 in Doha, Qatar. (Photo by Patrick Smith/Getty Images)[/caption]

More success was followed by winning numerous World Championships medals and other competitions. The sprinter did not slow down in her fourth Olympic Games at Rio 2016 as she won two gold and one silver medal in those games. After the 2017 World Championships in London where she won medals again, she took a break because of being pregnant.

Felix made her return for the 2019 World Championships in Doha as she won a gold medal in the 4×400 m mixed relay. The sprinter took part in the recent Tokyo Olympics 2020 event and cemented her legacy as one of the greatest athletes in the world. At the age of 35, she took home the bronze medal for the 400-meters competition while winning the gold medal for the 4×400 m relay. Whether she will take part in the Paris Olympics 2024 would be a question mark.

Allyson Felix of the United States celebrates after winning gold REUTERS/Phil Noble Early Life The legendary sprinter was born on 18 November 1985 to Paul and Marlean. She attended school in North Hills during her early years. After that, in 2003, Track and Field News named her &#8216;High School Athlete of the Year.&#8217; Her performances led to Adidas signing a contract in 2003 while they sponsored her college education at the University of Southern California. She is married to Kenneth Ferguson and has a daughter named Camryn who was born in 2018. Athletics Career The legendary sprinter began her Olympic career at Athens Olympics in 2004 and won the silver medal in the 200-meters. Then, she became the youngest gold medalist at World Championships in Helsinki as she won 200 meters. Her career skyrocketed from there as she added another silver medal in the 200-meter competition at the 2008 Beijing Olympics. Then, she took part in the 4x400m relay with Team USA and won her first Olympic gold medal. After her success, she decided to focus on the 200 and 400-meters events in addition to different relay events. The 2012 London Olympics saw her winning three gold medals in the 200 m, 4&#215;400 m relay, and 4&#215;100 m relay. Her medal tally made her the second American to win three gold medals in a single Olympic Games.

(Photo by Patrick Smith/Getty Images) More success was followed by winning numerous World Championships medals and other competitions. The sprinter did not slow down in her fourth Olympic Games at Rio 2016 as she won two gold and one silver medal in those games. After the 2017 World Championships in London where she won medals again, she took a break because of being pregnant. Felix made her return for the 2019 World Championships in Doha as she won a gold medal in the 4×400 m mixed relay. The sprinter took part in the recent Tokyo Olympics 2020 event and cemented her legacy as one of the greatest athletes in the world. At the age of 35, she took home the bronze medal for the 400-meters competition while winning the gold medal for the 4×400 m relay. Whether she will take part in the Paris Olympics 2024 would be a question mark.
