Queen Felix closed her career on the global stage with one last medal.
Allyson Felix, running a final time at the World Athletics World Championships, was the second leg of the United States' mixed 4x400 meter relay, with the team finishing third in the event Friday night.
Felix received the baton from Elija Godwin, who led off and was in a close second when he got to Felix. Felix opened up a considerable lead on the backstretch though Dominican Republic runner Marileidy Paulino closed the gap over the final 20 meters of their lap; Felix did not cede the lead when she passed to Vernon Norwood.
