TOKYO — This one's for the moms.
Less than three years after the birth of her daughter Camryn, Allyson Felix won bronze in the women's 400-meter dash at the Tokyo Olympics on Friday night, becoming just the second U.S. track and field athlete to win 10 Olympic medals.
Felix, 35, joins Carl Lewis as the only two Americans to win double-digit medals on the track. Only 11 U.S. athletes in all sports, both summer and winter, have ever reached the milestone – and eight of them are swimmers, where competitors can more easily take on multiple events.
