Serena Williams and her husband Alexis Ohanian are all for women’s sports. And of course, capturing adorable moments with daughter Olympia Ohanian. A patron for promoting and uplifting women in the sporting world, the Reddit co-founder attended the inaugural Athlos event in New York in late September this year. The rather sought-after affair celebrated women athletes. Today, Ohanian posted a chucklesome photo of their seven-year-old daughter. Spoiler alert – she crowned herself with an exquisite jewelry piece.
Seemingly displeased that women almost always get the spotlight only during a lucrative event like the Olympics, Ohanian organized the event with Athlos, wherein women track and field athletes marked their attendance. The highly anticipated event hosted 100m, 200m, 400m, 800, and 1500m hurdles for the attendees. In addition to the prize money, the winners will receive a $25,000 silver crown from Tiffany & Co., a prize often described by broadcasters as “a crown fit for a queen.” Naturally, his daughter couldn’t skip making a statement with such a gorgeous jewelry piece.
Subsequently, the entrepreneur took to his official X handle on November 16th and posted a photo of his youngster daughter Olympia, showcasing the little one crowning herself with the Tiffany and Co. tiara-inspired silverware moments before the event commenced. “Before @athlos NY started, Olympia got her hands on the @TiffanyAndCo hardware”, Ohanian wrote.

The 41-year-old told Vogue that “the American women have always been exceptional in track and field. We’re all captivated by these women during the Olympics, then for four years it seems like they disappear.”
Ohanian catalyzed Athlos after showcasing his enthusiasm to provide women athletes with a noteworthy platform before the onset of the Olympics in 2028. “Track and field has captivated everyone this year, and you’re seeing these stars get a lot of the attention they deserve. It’s our job to make sure they keep getting it in between now and the next Olympics. That’s what Athlos is about.”

Let’s be real. Olympia is athletic, like her mother. She even raced her cousin at the Athlos event. Every once in a while, makes way for a new sporting journey that piques her interest. After tennis failed to invoke thrilling emotions in the seven-year-old, she notably took to golfing where she is making spectacular strides.

American superstar Serena Williams and her husband Alexis Ohanian strive to maintain a healthy and adventurous vibe in their family.

After trying her luck in different sports, Olympia is likely looking to settle down with golf. After taking to the golf course with her father and playing the sport, Olympia managed to get one up on her father. Ohanian later tweeted that she even managed to pocket some Robux from him – a fictional currency used in the online game Roblox. “Putting pool with Jr. this morning. She won a few robux off me.”
Creating a strong family bond is a priority for Williams, who drew the curtains on her stellar career in 2022 at the US Open. Since then, the American legend has been focused on enhancing her business ventures and partaking in playful moments with her family of four.
