Allyson Felix, 2003

Track and field athlete Allyson Felix has collected many medals in the Olympics throughout her career, specializing in the 200-meter sprint, and competing in the U.S. relay race, then shifting over to the 400-meter sprint. She became the first female track runner to win seven Olympic Gold medals.

The runner was included in Time magazine’s 100 Most Influential People in 2020 and 2021. After Felix returned from the Tokyo Olympics in 2021, she declared she may not compete again and is contemplating retirement after her impressive double-digit wins.
