U.S. track star sues Puma team over F1 team-designed gear she says caused career-ending injury

A U.S. track star has filed a lawsuit against one of the biggest athletic companies on the planet, and in a strange twist, a Formula 1 team has been dragged into the fray.

Abby Steiner, a four-time NCAA champion from her days at Kentucky and a two-time world champion, signed a deal with athletic giant Puma back in 2022 worth a reported $2 million.

However, just two years later, Steiner competed in her final event, the 2024 U.S. Olympic Trials, as she says injuries have left her unable to compete at professional or Olympic levels.
