In a story fit for Hollywood, five-time Olympian Allyson Felix concluded her illustrious Olympic career Saturday in Tokyo by propelling a dream-team United States women’s 4x400m relay squad to its seventh straight gold, claiming her 11th medal to surpass Carl Lewis as the most decorated U.S. Olympic track and field athlete of all time.
The 35-year-old mother made her Games debut in Athens at age 18, capturing a silver medal in the 200m. At her next Olympic appearance in Beijing, the Los Angeles native earned her first gold medal, repeating her silver in the 200m before running the second leg on Team USA’s title-winning 4x400m relay.https://www.nbcolympics.com/news/felix-steers-star-studded-relay-gold-surpassing-lewis-11th-medal
