TOKYO — She got 11 with a little help from her friends.
In her last race as an Olympian, Allyson Felix ran the second leg of the U.S.'s gold-medal winning 4x400-meter relay team, earning her 11th career Olympic medal and passing Carl Lewis as the most decorated American track and field athlete of all time. The USA women ran 3 minutes, 16.85 seconds, the fourth-fastest time ever.
The talent and star power of the U.S. quartet was nearly unprecedented. Felix received the baton from 400-meter hurdles world record holder and gold medalist Sydney McLaughlin and handed off to Dalilah Muhammad, who had the 400 hurdles world record before McLaughlin and won the silver medal here.
