## Resource

Venus Williams made a bold statement at the Met Gala, wearing a custom Swarovski gown inspired by her Smithsonian portrait, which featured her alongside her younger self. The gown, adorned with over four thousand crystals, highlighted the six percent gender gap in global sports science research. Williams, co-chair of the event, used her platform to advocate for womens needs in sports, aligning with Gatorades Body of Science initiative, which focuses on womens sweat patterns, carb needs, injury prevention, and more.
