Spring of 2023 – a promising track and field athlete as her dreams drown in the drain in Padua, Italy. She suffered a severe knee injury that ruptured both her ACL and meniscus., this meant sitting out the 2023 season. In April 2024, she returned, and the world had only one question: would her once lightning-fast legs return? She chose the time and moment to prove it. An anniversary of her injury, an event in the same country- X Athletics Elite Meeting in Milan, Italy. The woman broke the meeting record with her 13.23-second win and then went on to have a great 2024 season. In the 2025 season, she disappeared again. Now she is back, with a BIG-BIG update!
“We said I DO…… And now we’re getting ready to say ‘hello’ to our little one. Our hearts are overflowing with so much joy and gratitude..” Starting the caption with these words, a post went up on the Instagram account of Britany Anderson. The pictures featured our beloved track and field star adorning a long, form-fitting off-the-shoulder gown, posing alongside a man who wore a classic black tuxedo with a satin lapel, a white dress shirt, and a bow tie. And a clear bump was visible on the athlete as well. If you have not guessed yet, Britany Anderson has not only made her vows, but she is also pregnant!
In the post, Anderson further wrote, “Our journey as husband and wife has just begun, and already it’s growing in the most beautiful way. Love made us a family, and our greatest adventure is just beginning..
‘Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above‘.” She tied the knot with Gian. While not much is known about the man, he does have quite the knack for sports, as he is a tennis coach at the Good to Great Tennis Academy (GTG) in Stockholm. His portfolio flexes coaching the Swedish Tennis star, Henrik Bladelius.
The couple posted pictures walking hand in hand through a set of grand, carved wooden doors, each holding a document or envelope in the air, possibly marriage certificates or their vows, maybe? They also shared a side profile shot as they walked forward, hand in hand. And there was another picture of Britany being protectively held by Gian as she leaned into him and both of their hands on her belly, near their child. The pictures they posted are black and white, but perhaps they paint a different color for different viewers. It is everything but colorless, though.
Dropping an update over her career, she said, “Also I have been seeing all the messages asking if I’ve retired from competing, the short a sweet answer is NO. I deeply love what I do and I will be back competing next year but for now I’m soaking in all the blessings life have to offer“
