The 35-year-old has won six gold medals, three silver and now, one bronze, matching running legend Carl Lewis’ U.S. record of 10 medals. Felix, who was participating in her fifth Olympics, finished her race in 49.46 seconds, right behind Bahamas’ Shaunae Miller-Uibo, who secured gold, and Dominican Republic’s Marileidy Paulino, who got silver. 5x Olympian and 10x Olympic medalist. @allysonfelix matches Carl Lewis’ record for the most medals in U.S. Olympic track and field history. #TokyoOlympics pic.twitter.com/prBfcmWMNV — Team USA (@TeamUSA) August 6, 2021 Felix can surpass Lewis if she medals with the women’s 4 x 100-meter relay final on Saturday. The Tokyo Games marked Felix’ first as a mother. She shared a touching moment with her daughter, Camry Grace, and fellow Olympian Quanera Hayes and her son, Demetrius, following her performance in the U.S. Track and Field Olympic trials in June. In an interview that day, she reflected on her journey to get back on the track. “Today I thought about all the things,” Felix said. “I thought about us fighting in the NICU, fighting for my life…Whatever happened, I just knew all glory to the most high.” In 2018, Felix underwent an emergency C-section and gave birth to her daughter two months early. Camryn, who Felix said only weighed three pounds at the time, then spent 29 days in the NICU. Ten months later, she won her 12th world championship gold medal, breaking legendary sprinter Usain Bolt’s record.
