Allyson Felix

One of the greatest runners to ever grace the sport, Allyson Felix has accumulated a total of 36 medals throughout her career while representing the United States. This tally consists of 24 gold medals, 6 of which have been won at the Olympics.

A 3-time world champion, Felix set the record for the 150 meters distance in 2013 when she ran the course in 16.36 seconds. She has been leaving her mark on track and fields events since the 2004 Olympics where she finished as a silver medalist in the 200 meters race as an 18-year-old.

The most decorated sportsperson ever in IAAF World Championships history with 16 medals, Allyson Felix also undertakes regular tests for the use of performance-enhancing drugs under the Project Believe campaign of the USADA. That's some way of setting an example for others!
