Olympian and American 400-meter champion is no stranger to is her second time representing the United States. However, she caused some strife in her quest to return to the this year. In June, she was stuck in a porta potty at the U.
S. track trials in June, which threw her into a semi-panic. She anticipated competing and was afraid the incident might’ve dashed her Olympic hopes.
Although she was helped and went on to win the semifinal to secure the trip to the Olympics, it ultimately led her to a destined partnership with Charmin, which couldn’t be more aligned. Ellis wanted to partner with toilet paper to ensure her backside is covered with superior sheets while she’s abroad because you never know what toilet you’ll get when you travel, especially while staying in the Olympic Village. Ellis shared about her partnership: “As an athlete, I’m very regimented, so being able to replicate the same feeling of being at home helps me go the distance.
Charmin is there for me from the backside to the trackside!” We spoke to her about the partnership, her Olympic hopes, how she takes of herself before competing, and her favorite hygiene hacks. Scroll below to check out our conversation. It feels great.
It’s really exciting. I’ve been to Paris a few times, but nothing like this. Seeing so much Olympic support everywhere, from the metro to the street signs, is huge.
I’m glad the city’s so excited for us to be here. It’s good and surreal. You never know how many Olym.
