Amy Hunt hits back at Sydney Sweeney ad: this is what women in sport look like

British sprinter Amy Hunt criticised Sydney Sweeney's betting advert, stating "this is what women in sport look like" after finishing fourth in the 200m final at the World Athletics Ultimate Championship in Budapest. Hunt, a double European champion, told the BBC that women's sport involves "muscles, hard work, sweat, blood, tears," contrasting it with the advert's glamorous portrayal. She also mentioned practical challenges like her period starting before the championship. Other athletes, including former US gymnast Gracie Kramer and Australian boxer Skye Nicolson, echoed Hunt's criticism. Sweeney responded by posting ESPN Magazine's BODY Issue images featuring athletes like Serena Williams on her Instagram stories.
