Allyson Felix will bow out of athletics after the world championships in Eugene, Oregon, but the most decorated track star of all time vowed to leave it all out there as her “incredible journey” approaches its end.
Felix, 36, has been a mainstay on the U.S. track and field team. She has made five Olympic squads and will be making her 10th appearance at the world championships.
She is the most decorated track and field athlete — male or female — having won 18 medals at the world championships and 11 Olympic medals. The Olympic gold in the 200 meters from the London Games is included in that haul, as are three world titles over the same distance and another world championship gold in the 400.
