What's Next for Allyson Felix?
Allyson Felix's track and field career ended after the 2022 World Championships in Eugene. She won her first medal at eighteen in the 200m at the Athens Olympics in 2004.
Felix had a nearly two-decade run at the top level of the sport. She became well known for her trackside heroics and consistency as a sprinter. Her last major medal was a bronze in Eugene in 2022.
The Mixed 4x400m Relay
Allyson Felix helped the U.S. win gold in the mixed 4x400m in Doha in 2019. She became the first athlete to medal in three different relays on the world stage.
Felix said, "The mixed 4x4 is a lot of fun. I remember when it first got introduced." She heard from many people about how exciting it was to watch.
Transitioning Away from Competition
In April 2022, Felix announced that she'd be retiring at the end of the track season. Felix, then thirty-six years old, ran a commendable second leg for the U.S. in qualifying.
When asked if 'Why stop now?' ever crossed her mind, she responded: "You always have the moments where you think about wins." Felix's eye-popping medal count would be higher if the mixed relay was introduced earlier.
Allyson Felix granted an interview to discuss her legacy in the sport and her new partnership with Danimals. Felix appreciates that track and field is an evolving sport and that, in the future, it may be slightly easier for someone to surpass her medal count.
"It's a super fun one and, yeah, there's a lot more medals to be won. That's how things go. Things evolve —there's always things to be added." Felix is now a busy entrepreneur, a mother of two, and a member of the LA28 Organizing Committee.
On May 1, 2025, Felix began her new role as a 'Snack Hero' with Danimals. She is helping to rescue parents from snack time emergencies with the Instacart delivery service.
