Armed with an impressive medals kitty comprising of eight World titles and four Olympic GOLD and two Silver medals, Allyson Felix remains one of Track and Field’s most decorated athletes. However, that did not stop the 29-year old from seeking fresh challenges in Beijing and looking for new territories to conquer.

And conquer she did, winning a much sought after GOLD in the women’s 400m with a scorching World Lead (WL) and Personal Best (PB) of 49.26s, making it the fastest time in the world since July 2012 when Russia’s Antonina Krivoshapka ran a WL of 49.16s. Felix’s feat in Beijing makes her the first woman in history to claim world titles in both the women’s 200m/400m.
