The glittering Olympic career in Tokyo, ended the Odyssey which began when he competed as a teen prodigy in the 2004 Athens game.
The fifth and final Olympics Felix would almost certainly see it to be the most decorated trail and female field in the history of the game.
He is currently tied with Jamaican Legend Merlene Otey with nine medals.
The big difference is that Otey never won the Olympic gold, while Felix has won the enchanting Haul which includes six gold and three silver.
One more medal in Tokyo will see it interesting Otey at 10 medals.
Felix made the US Olympic team at 400m women, but he would not compete in the 200m event, where he had won the Olympic gold and two silver.
If he won two or more other possibilities remember the possibility in the 4x400m women’s relay squad and the 4x400M gender relay team mixture he will overtake Carl Lewis as the most decorated American track athletes in history.
This will be Felix’s first Olympics as a mother.
He did not qualify at 200m after placing the fifth in trials.
He runs the best season 22.11, but the top three finisers are eligible for Tokyo.
Felix won a gold medal at 200m at the 2012 London Olympics after the second finished in 2004 and 2008.
The most successful Olympics to date are the 2012 match in London, where he won three gold medals in 200M and 4x400m and 4x400m.
In 2016, Felix and the US team defended the return of gold and reached silver at 400m women after being gripped on track with diving.
Felix won the first Olympic medal – Silver in the 200m race at the 2004 Athens Olympics – at the age of 18 years.
A year later, he became a runner of the youngest gold medal in 200 billion in the World Championship in Helsinki.
He then managed to defend his title in Osaka two years later.
The booking place in Tokyo team was made sweeter with the fact that Camryn’s daughter was ready to greet her at the finish line.
Felix said motherhood had become a driving force because she tried to take advantage of the last years of her career.
Be careful with Allyson Felix when he sees history at the Tokyo Olympics.
He can leave Tokyo as the most decorated Olympican in the footsteps and field history.
