The postponement of the Tokyo 2020 Olympics is concerning 11,000 athletes. Track & Field athletes take many years to achieve the level to get to a World Champs or Olympics. Allyson Felix has made 4 Olympic teams and eight World Champs. Can she add another year to her career?
WASHINGTON (USA): Six-time Olympic champion Allyson Felix is still desperate to compete at her fifth Games next year. She wrote in Time magazine: “I am not sure what the future holds, but my goals have not changed. I still hope to experience the feeling of standing on that podium in 2021 and I hope my journey to try to get back there will inspire you to keep moving forward. Stay safe, stay inside, wash your hands, lead with love, check on each other and be kind. We will get through this, together.”
