Athletes hit back at Sydney Sweeney betting ad

British sprinter Amy Hunt has joined female athletes criticising a viral betting advert starring actress Sydney Sweeney, which features the star naked and covered by sporting equipment. Hunt responded after finishing fourth in the 200m final at the Ultimate Championship in Budapest on Sunday. Hunt, a four-time European champion, ran a season's best 22.10 seconds and told BBC Sport: "Sydney Sweeney, this is what women in sport look like." She highlighted winner Melissa Jefferson-Wooden's 21.47 seconds, calling it "muscles, hard work, blood, sweat, tears." The backlash began with American gymnast Gracie Kramer posting a training montage captioned "this is what women in sport look like." Many athletes have since shared videos of their struggles, criticising the advert's sexualisation of sportswomen. Sweeney, 29, is known for Euphoria and films including Anyone But You.
