Female athletes hit out at Sydney Sweeney's betting advert after Budapest final

British sprinter Amy Hunt criticised Sydney Sweeney's betting advert after finishing fourth in the 200m final at the World Athletics Ultimate Championship in Budapest, saying "this is what women in sport look like" and highlighting the hard work behind athletic performance. Hunt, a double European champion, condemned the Novig advert featuring the actress in minimal clothing, describing women's sport as "not pretty" and "not glamorous", and noted practical challenges like starting her period before the championship. Other female athletes joined the criticism, including gymnast Gracie Kramer and boxer Skye Nicolson, while Sweeney responded by sharing ESPN Magazine's BODY Issue images of athletes like Serena Williams on Instagram.
