Felix to hang up her spikes this year
LOS ANGELES • American track and field great Allyson Felix confirmed on Wednesday she will retire this year, bringing the curtain down on a career that has spanned three decades and included a record-setting 11 Olympic medals.
The 36-year-old said in an Instagram post she planned to embark on her farewell season with one last run, as a gesture of gratitude to the sport.
Felix did not give details of her competitive schedule, but it is likely she is targeting this year's world championships, which will be held in Eugene, Oregon in July.
