Reddit co-founder and entrepreneur Alexis Ohanian has once again demonstrated his commitment to supporting female athletes by making a generous donation to British middle-distance runner Keely Hodgkinson. The 22-year-old, who won silver at the Tokyo Olympics, is now gearing up for Paris 2024 with Ohanian's backing.
Ohanian, who is married to tennis legend Serena Williams, has a history of investing in women's sports. His latest contribution aims to help Hodgkinson maintain her competitive edge as she prepares for the upcoming Olympic Games.
A Boost for British Athletics
Hodgkinson, who specialises in the 800 metres, has been a rising star in British athletics. Her performance in Tokyo marked her as one of the most promising talents in the sport. With Ohanian's support, she can now focus on her training without financial constraints.
Ohanian's Philanthropic Vision
This isn't the first time Ohanian has supported female athletes. Through his venture capital firm, Seven Seven Six, he has consistently championed gender equality in sports. His donation to Hodgkinson is part of a broader mission to level the playing field for women in athletics.
As the countdown to Paris 2024 begins, all eyes will be on Hodgkinson to see if this partnership can translate into Olympic gold. With Ohanian in her corner, the young athlete has every reason to feel confident about her chances.
