Who is She?
Allyson Felix was born in Los Angeles on November 18, 1985. The daughter of an ordained pastor and New Testament professor at The Master’s Seminary in Sun Valley, California, and an elementary school teacher at Balboa Magnet Elementary, she has a bachelor’s degree from the University of California, Berkeley. Wes Felix, her older brother, is a sprinter, as well. It was in 2002 and 2003 and 2004 that he won the Pac-10 title as a USC runner. Wes now represents his sister. It is a gift from God, Felix says. “My religion is the driving force behind my running.” God has certainly provided me with a wonderful gift, and I want to make the most of it.
Professional career
Felix finished second to Jamaica’s Veronica Campbell in the 200 meters at the 2004 Summer Olympics in Athens, clocking a time of 22.18. As Felix emerged from the race, he appeared to be in tears.

As a sprinter, Felix won her first 200-meters gold medal at the 2005 World Championships in Helsinki. She successfully defended her championship in Osaka two months later. Osaka: Felix grabbed Jamaican Veronica Campbell on the turn before sprinting to victory in 21.81 seconds, reducing her own season-leading record by 0.37 seconds.
2008–09
Despite recording a season-best time of 21.93 in the 200 meters at the 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing, Felix finished second behind Campbell, who won the gold medal with a time of 21.74, the fastest time in the decade. Felix also competed for the United States women’s squad in the 4 x 400 metre relay. Felix won her first Olympic gold medal as a member of the winning squad.
2012–13
Felix competed in four events at the 2012 Summer Olympics: the 100 m, 200 m, 4 x 100 m relay, and 4 x 400 m relay, placing fifth in the 100 m and winning gold in the other three, making her the first American woman to win three gold medals in athletics at an Olympics since Florence Griffith-Joyner in 1988. She finished 5th in her first final, the 100 m, with a personal best time of 10.89 seconds. It was third time fortunate for her in the 200 m final, which she had lost to Jamaican rival Veronica Campbell-Brown in both the 2008 and 2004 Summer Olympics. She beat Campbell-Brown, as well as the 2012 100 m Olympic Gold medalist Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce, who finished second. Carmelita Jeter, a fellow American, won bronze.
2016-2017
At the 2016 Rio Olympics, Felix won three medals, including silver in the 400 meters. She competed in the 2016 Olympic Trials in Eugene, Oregon, although still ailing, in the 200 and 400 meters. Her Olympic objective was to win gold in both of these sports. She was in the centre of the pack after 300 meters in the 400-meter final, but surged past the whole field in the final 100 meters for a world-leading time of 49.68. Jenna Prandini, who dove across the line to earn third place on the team, just edged out Felix by 0.01 seconds in the 200 meters final (22.53 to 22.54). Felix was thus denied the opportunity to try her record 200 m – 400 m double. She took the remainder of July and the first half of August off from training to allow her ankle more time to recover before the Olympics.
2020-2021
Allyson Felix earned bronze and gold in the women’s 400-meters and 4 X400 meters respectively at the Tokyo Olympics on Saturday night, less than three years after giving birth to her daughter. She is just the first American track and field athlete to win eleven Olympic medals. Felix qualified for her fifth Olympics after finishing second in the 400-meter event in the U.S. track trials in Eugene, Oregon, in June. She has competed for the United States since she was 18 years old at the 2004 Athens Games. She remarked at the time, “I’m simply proud of making it to this point.” Allyson Felix has become the most decorated female track and field Olympian after winning bronze and gold in the 400 meter and 4 X 400 events.
