Allyson Felix is the most decorated female track and field athlete in Olympic history for a reason. Her speed and dedication are second to none. Incidentally, she has seven gold, three silver, and one bronze medal to her name at that stage. The 38-year-old earned the last of those in Tokyo in 2021. Closest to her heart is the bronze in the 400m earned then as she revealed to Olympics.com.
Motherhood proved to be a pivotal moment in Allyson Felix’s career. Given she earned less after becoming a mother, she severed ties with her longtime sponsor. That led her to start her own brand, Saysh. Now, she is on the verge of welcoming another addition to her family.
