Felix clocked the best time since her pregnancy to win the bronze, making more than just a statement. However, that was not all for the Track legend. Earlier today, she won the gold medal as part of the women?s 4x400m relay team that took home the win.?

Felix has done the impossible during these Olympics

She is also now the most decorated track and field athlete in United States history, overtaking Carl Lewis? tally of 10 medals to her 11. Although she has not said much of her retirement, this is likely be her last Olympic Games, having debuted in 2004 at Athens.?

Allyson Felix is a role model to younger American athletes, being the most consistent athlete over the last 20 years. This time, the Olympic Games were far more special to her. Felix had a near-death pregnancy experience in 2019 that nearly ended her athletics career.?

She worked her way back through this adversity and is now back where she belongs. The American will return home yet again with gold, having proved herself for the last time.?
