In any case, you can’t transform anything with quiet”, Allyson wrote in her commentary. From that point, Felix realized she needed to turn into the voice for future female competitors who felt parenthood could be a danger to their vocations.

Fortunately for Felix, her happiness on the track happened to the end goal beating Jamaica’s Stephanie Ann McPherson by 0.15 seconds, winning the Bronze in the open 400m finals with a period of 49.46 winning her tenth award. Felix currently joins Olympian Carl Lewis as the lone two USA olympic style events sprinters to win twofold digit awards.
