I love the relays. Track is such an individual sport, so it's fun to do something together.

It was not until the end of my freshman year in high school that I thought I could really have a future in track and field. I definitely did not think I could make it to the Olympics back then, though I was just focused on making it to the state finals!

If I wasn't active and involved in different sports and just moving around, I wouldn't have even known that I had the potential to become an Olympian.
Allyson Felix
I'm always nervous. If I wasn't nervous, it would be weird. I get the same feeling at all the big races. It's part of the routine, and I accept it. It means I'm there and I'm ready.
Allyson Felix
Right now I'd say my favorite fashion designer is Zac Posen.
Allyson Felix
I think that kids aren't even exploring the option of sports anymore, and they don't even know what they could do.
