We’re proud of the three-year partnership we had with Emma and the many accomplishments we shared together. The partnership decisions were made in September 2025 as a part of regular business planning and prior to any knowledge of her pregnancy. We made an effort to continue working with Emma under a new agreement, but Emma ultimately chose not to move forward with that option. We’ve always supported and will continue to support athletes at all stages of life, including pregnancy and motherhood. Emma is an incredible athlete and we sincerely wish her the very best.

“Everything I ever wanted seemed to be within reach,” she wrote. “The culmination of a lifetime of work was right before me. In that moment, it seemed like no choice at all.”

In an interview with Elle, she explained, "I literally don't know another female track-and-field athlete who hasn't had an abortion — and that's sad. So, for me, I'm hoping that this will open up some discussions, to helping especially a lot of young women who were in my situation not experience what I did."

She shared that female athletes don't take the birth control pill because of the water weight gain, and they are often told that because they are in such good shape and their menstrual cycles are shorter, they can't get pregnant. When they do become pregnant, they fear they will lose everything they worked for, and they often turn to abortion as a solution.

"I made a decision that broke me, and one from which I would not immediately heal," she said. "Abortion would now forever be a part of my life. A scarlet letter I never thought I'd wear."
