Allyson Felix 'loved' her race in Tokyo
Former track and field star Allyson Felix previously revealed that she 'loved' her race at the Tokyo Olympics, stating that it signified a lot of things for her personally. Felix is the most decorated track and field athlete ever, and at the Tokyo Games, she grabbed two Olympic medals, including a gold at the Women's 4x400m Relay.
Felix discussed her career in an interview with Olympics.com, where she stated that she missed competing and that the Tokyo Games were very special to her. She said (0:03 onwards):
"I love just the thrill of competition. You know, getting on the line and knowing who was going to be the best in that moment. That's probably what I miss most. The team camaraderie, and those things. I'm grateful for so many incredible moments, I have such great memories from competing in the sport.
"I really love my final race in Tokyo. It was really special. For me, it was much bigger than just running. It was all about overcoming adversity and being a mother, and I got to run in shoes that my company created. And I think it was a full-circle moment and so that one always sticks out as being very significant."
Allyson Felix announced her retirement from athletics after the 2022 season.
