Olympic and Paralympic medalists Allyson Felix, Ryan Murphy, Melissa Stockwell and more will be telling all — or, actually,answeringall — in a series of candid Reddit “Ask Me Anythings”s launching next week.
The AMA series, a Reddit staple for celebrities, athletes and other personalities, will see an Olympic or Paralympic hopeful fielding questions on the site each week from Jan. 28 to June 5.
“The Reddit AMA allows athletes to open up and show both the intimate and humorous sides of our personalities to a worldwide audience,” Felix, 34, tells PEOPLE. “I love talking about motherhood, my passion projects and the Olympics, but I’m just as open to revealing my favorite ice cream flavor.”
Felix, a six-time gold medalist in track and field,recently made headlines whenshe broke one ofUsain Bolt‘s records — less than a year after she had anemergency cesarean section.

Other athletes slated to participate in the AMAs include swimmer Haley Anderson, skateboarder Heimana Reynolds (whose sport is making its Olympic debut), Paralympic swimmer Jessica Long and Paralympic runner Hunter Woodhall.
The AMAs, as their name suggests, can end up covering any topic.
“Training for the Olympics is all consuming, so for athletes, it’s great to take a break and to have the opportunity to connect live with people,” Felix says. “It’s inspiring to know that people took time out of their day to chat with you. I’m excited to engage with fans directly and hopefully reveal some fun things about myself.”
