Allyson Felix is walking away from Tokyo an Olympic medalist, snagging a bronze medal in the 400-meter race. The win ties her for most race medals in U.S. track history.
Felix finished with a final time of 49.46 seconds, missing out on gold by 1.10 seconds.
If Felix is selected for the 4×400 relay race, she will have a shot at history: the most medals in racing in the history of the U.S. Olympic team.
Felix has won races in the Olympics in 2004, 2008, 2012, and 2016, meaning Tokyo is the fifth straight Olympic Games she has stood on the medal podium.
