The phone rang while Allyson Felix was eating hot wings and drinking a root beer float in Los Angeles.
She had to return to Oregon for the prelims of the 4x400. She could possibly return to the world championship. She was going somewhere.
The most decorated sprinter in U.S. history jumped on a plane and was on the track to help the Americans advance to the final.
She returns to retirement. She will be watching the women's 4x400 on Sunday from the seats.
For now, that is the plan. She had the fastest one-lap split of her teammates.
Felix is unsure if this is the end. I don't know what you know.
She was part of the 4x400 mixed relay team that won a bronze medal. It was supposed to be that way.
When she returned to Los Angeles for the ESPYs, she was summoned to the track for an encore performance.
Talitha ran the opening leg for the U.S. The sprinter who grew up admiring Felix was given the baton by her. Baynes brought it with him.
Whitney said that passing the baton to Felix was a complete circle. It is a privilege to run alongside her and other great ladies. I'm not happy.
Felix sat on the grass after her run, crouching down by the score board. She hugged her teammates after the game ended.
Felix said that she was well on her way to retirement. I didn't plan on coming back for the rest of the meet. Things happen I didn't feel bad. It was great to run when the stadium was full and the crowd loved you. The team is set up to win the title.
The American contingent in the final is expected to include a world champion in the 400 meter hurdle and a bronze medal winner. The 4x400 team won the gold medal at the Tokyo Olympics. Felix and Athing Mu were also present. The final of the 800 is on the same day.
Felix might leave the seats to run again.
Felix said that he ran in the prelim.
If the group brings home a medal, it will be Felix's 20th medal at the world championships, tying her for the most by a woman. She has a lot of medals.
Felix said it was about being a team player and putting them in the best position to win.
Her immediate plan is to get more hot wings.
Felix only had a few of them. I'm going to finish them now.
