In her fifth Olympics, Allyson Felix has advanced to the women's 400 meter final with a 49.89 run to take second in her respective semifinal heat. She looks to win her 10th Olympic medal, which would tie her with Carl Lewis for the most medals in history by a U.S. track and field athlete.
The top two women in each semifinal heat and the next two fastest advance to the final. Felix pulled together her fastest race since July 2017 to advance to her sixth individual Olympic final. She owns one gold and two silver medals in the 200 meters.
