If you’re definition of success is so particular for this obviously incredible accomplished athlete, then I can only imagine the tremendous amount of failure and misery you’ve encountered in your life.

I guarantee you that while she's running she feels as or more cocky than any of the other ladies she runs against, sh just simply does not display it. Different personality types.

I have always envisioned Allyson Felix as a host or panelist of a show that deals with T&F after her competition. She is accomplished, well respected, (worldwide) non-controversial, she's articulate and easy on the eyes. She deserves it. She would be added enthusiasm for an under enthusiastic USA T&F audience. TV execs, make it happen.

Definitely gonna miss her in the sport. She is one of my favorites & always was my motivation in running. 💖💖💃 Im glad she gave feedback on not running 4 awhile. I havent ran 4 like 5yrs due 2 a bad injury. Now im able 2 start again & going thru it with the rebuilding!!! 😵😵 So it's nice 2 know it's a normal process. It's slowly coming along so im happy about that.

Oh man, the 400 m. I was decent at the 100 and 200, but one day I had to fill in at the 400, and I wasn't ready for it. I didn't know how to gauge my speed and my body just wasn't ready. Afterwards, I fell to track in exhaustion, but then I literally could not stand up because my legs couldn't respond to my brainxs command to get on my feet. All the respect in the world to people who do it, let alone do it amazingly.

Keep God first and keep inspiring! God's love and blessings!!!

I was in middle school when I ran my first 400, and no one told me how I should do it. First 200? I thought I was a running prodigy. Last 200? I wanted to die, and everyone passed me. I came in last place, and almost threw up

Speaking of relays, the 4x400 women’s relay with the DREAM TEAM *chef’s kiss* is my favorite thing about the entire Olympics this year. You are LEGENDARY, Allyson. It has been a thing of pride to have watched and cheered for you all these years 🔥🔥 Thank you for being that for us. You truly set the bar.
