Allyson Felix Silver Medal, 200M

The world’s newest young sprinting sensation, Felix has gone from being a national-caliber junior athlete to a world junior record-breaker, World Championships competitor and Olympic silver medalist.

The wunderkind of women's sprinting won her first Olympic medal in the women’s 200-meter in Athens at age 18 and secured the world junior record that she had waited a year to officially break. The performance gave Felix, the youngest person on the US team, the world junior record by 0.01 seconds.

Felix won the 2004 Olympic Trials 200-meter in :22.28. It was her most impressive performance since her :22.11 time at the 2004 Grand Prix Banamex in Mexico City, which was faster than every winning time at the Olympic Games through 1976, and topped the 1996 gold medal-winning time of France’s Marie Jose Perec by 0.01 seconds.
