Allyson Felix, already the most decorated woman in Olympic track and field history, is on the cusp of yet more greatness at the 2021 Tokyo Olympics.
Felix, 35 years old and appearing in her first Olympic Games since the birth of her daughter in December 2018, will make history with even one more Olympic medal. She will run in at least one event at the 2021 Olympics, and could participate in as many as three, giving her plenty of opportunities to make history. That includes potentially running in a newly introduced event to the Summer Games.
Felix, who also has 19 medals in world championship competition — including her 13th and 14th gold medals at the 2019 event — will compete in her fifth and final Summer Games. What better way to end your Olympic career by tying the Olympic record for the most decorated track and field athlete of all time?

Which events are Allyson Felix running in?
Felix will compete at least in the 400-meter dash at the Tokyo Olympics, but is also in the pool relay for both the women’s and mixed 4×400 relays, the latter of which is a new event for the 2021 Olympics. It’s not guaranteed she will compete in the relays, but she is expected to compete in both.
Regardless, Felix brings an incredible pedigree to the Tokyo Olympics, her fifth Summer Games appearance. With a medal in any of her three events, she would not only become the most decorated woman in Olympic track and field history, but also tie Carl Lewis for the most medals by a United States track and field athlete.
A medal in two events would give her 11 Olympic medals all time, making her the single-most decorated track and field Olympian in U.S. history. A medal in all three events would give her 12 all time, tying her with Paavo Nurmi of Finland, the most decorated Olympic track and field athlete since the 1928 Games.
| Medal rank | Athlete | Country | Olympic Games | Gold medals | Silver medals | Bronze medals | Total |
| 1 | Paavo Nurmi | Finland | 1920-28 | 9 | 3 | 0 | 12 |
| 2 | Carl Lewis | United States | 1984-96 | 9 | 1 | 0 | 10 |
| T-3 | Allyson Felix | United States | 2004-21 | 6 | 3 | 0 | 9 |
| T-3 | Merlene | Jamaica | 1980-2000 | 0 | 3 | 6 | 9 |
To date, Felix has medaled in each of her Olympic appearances, scoring at least a silver in each of her five appearances dating back to the 2004 Athens Olympics. She has medaled in the women’s 200, 400, 4×100 and 4×400. Below are each of the events in which she has medaled:
