Paris France.- American sprinter Kendall Ellis turned a portable toilet accident into a sponsorship deal and a ticket to Paris 2024.
Ellis was trapped in a bathroom moments before competing in the Semifinal of the U.S. Qualifiers.
This curious moment earned him a commercial agreement with a well-known brand of toilet paper and inspired him to undertake an extraordinary career and earn his ticket to the Olympic Games.
“After being stuck inside for 10 minutes, my heart rate was through the roof. I was like, ‘You’ve got to be kidding me, why am I stuck in a portable toilet 45 minutes before my race? This is crazy!'” she wrote to Today.
“But oddly enough, it did improve my mood. (And, as a fun bonus: I now have a partnership with Charmin),” added the American 400-meter champion, who helped the women’s 4×400 team win gold in Tokyo three years ago and will also be vying for a medal of her own in France.
