      I think many fans would not say she is the Bolt of Women's sprinting - that title goes to Shelly-Ann Fraser Price but she is definitely a stand out athelte as she is one of the few who run both 200 and 400. FP and Bolt both excell(ed) in 100 and 200 but neither ran 400m

      @@LucyLive91 I was thinking more in terms of Gold medals won. Very few track sprinters win that many golds. Hence we remember Carl Lewis, Bolt, and obviously Flo Jo who won numerous at the same Olympics. That's the rarity.
      But I take your point. FP is incredible.

      @ThatOne She turns that competitive hat off very quickly. You do realize that many folks just cannot "switch in and out" of high performance mode?

I guarantee you that while she's running she feels as or more cocky than any of the other ladies she runs against, sh just simply does not display it. Different personality types.

    Oh man, the 400 m. I was decent at the 100 and 200, but one day I had to fill in at the 400, and I wasn't ready for it. I didn't know how to gauge my speed and my body just wasn't ready. Afterwards, I fell to track in exhaustion, but then I literally could not stand up because my legs couldn't respond to my brainxs command to get on my feet.
    All the respect in the world to people who do it, let alone do it amazingly.

    I have always envisioned Allyson Felix as a host or panelist of a show that deals with T&F after her competition. She is accomplished, well respected, (worldwide) non-controversial, she's articulate and easy on the eyes. She deserves it. She would be added enthusiasm for an under enthusiastic USA T&F audience. TV execs, make it happen.
