Outside of her commitment to success on the track, she uses her free time working for two goals: to elevate athlete voices in track and field, and to have the sport become the most exciting sport anyone's ever seen. Through her interviews and social media profiles, it's evident she's not afraid to display her enthusiasm for the world's purest sport. Her love for track and field is contagious and she hopes to spread that love through her content creation.

Ellie Sunman, who is a 23-year-old content creator from the UK. Her rise as a creator came via TikTok, with her platform now boasting over 100,000 followers thanks to her history-themed content. Growing up, she immersed herself in the world of sport, particularly running, and achieved success in her local cross-country championships as an U20 athlete. Today, she would describe herself more as a champion spectator than a competitor, but sport will always be an integral part of her life.
