Allyson Felix at 2016 Olympic Trials Press Conference

The truth is this: Allyson Felix has been a professional athlete for nearly half of her life. In 2003, in Saint Denis, France, Allyson Felix donned her professional kit, and put a smile on many of our faces. Since then, she has challenged the world’s best over 100 meters, 200 meters and now 400 meters. The 400 meters may be her best event of all! Her smooth stride, her focus and her drive at the end of a race are some of the pleasures of watching this fine athlete in top form. 2016 has been a challenge for Allyson as she had a late start, due to some injury issues. This interview was done at the USATF Press conference on June 29, 2016 by the Shoe Addicts, for RunBlogRun.
