Track star Allyson Felix has qualified for her fifth straight Olympics after finishing second in the 400 meters during the U.S. Track & Fields Olympics trials on Sunday. The Tokyo Olympics will mark her first Games as a mother.
The 35-year-old was trailing in the race before making a dramatic comeback to claim second in a photo-finish, clinching her spot. The nine-time Olympic medalist will head to Japan, where she can tie or break running legend Carl Lewis' record for most Olympic medals (10) by an American track and field athlete. "Man, it has been a fight to get here," Felix said during a postrace interview on NBC Sports. "And one thing I know how to do is fight, so I just wanted to do that all the way home."More Related News
