Tokyo : American sprinter Allyson Felix made history again Saturday when she won gold in the 4×400-meter relay, breaking the tie with sprinting legend Carl Lewis for the most decorated American track athlete in Olympic history.
Saturday’s win at the Tokyo Games marked the 11th Olympic medal for the 35-year-old: seven of them gold, three silver and one bronze.
Sydney McLaughlin, 400-meter hurdles gold medalist and a world record-holder, began Saturday’s relay event with a 49-second leg before passing off to Felix.
Felix was able to hold the gap and passed off to Dalilah Muhammad, 400-meter hurdles silver medalist and reigning world champion. Athing Mu, 800-meter gold medalist and 400-meter collegiate record-holder, finished off the relay and helped the team secure gold in 3:16.85.
