Allyson Felix breaks record for most U.S. Olympic track medals, surpassing Carl Lewis
LA TimesThe U.S. women’s 1,600-meter relay team of Allyson Felix, left, Athing Mu, Dalilah Muhammad and Sydney McLaughlin celebrates after winning gold at the Tokyo Olympics on Saturday. The shy preacher’s daughter who was nicknamed “Chicken Legs” refused to give up and smashed all expectations, leaving Tokyo with two medals, the American track and field career record and vindication. “It was a whole lot of that, a whole lot of second places, guys that were supposed to win got second and guys, unfortunately, who were supposed to medal didn’t,” Benjamin said. So to be able to come out here and actually win a gold medal for Team USA and for ourselves is just amazing.” Benjamin said casual observers do not realize that veteran Olympians such as Tyson Gay and Justin Gatlin are no longer in the fold for what is essentially “a brand-new track team for Team USA.” “It takes time to be great,” Benjamin said, noting that retired Jamaican superstar sprinter Usain Bolt did not win a gold medal in his first Olympics.
