The American was enjoying her wings and a root beer float at her favourite LA restaurant when she got the call
Allyson Felix was enjoying hot wings and a root beer float at her favourite LA restaurant when she got the call. Would she come out of retirement for an encore?
“I was at Halloween’s cafe, one of my favourite cheat-meal restaurants,” she said. “I was having hot wings and a root beer float, and I was just diving into that when I got a phone call. They just asked if I would be willing to come back and run a round and help the team get a position, and so I dropped the wing.”
And while Felix does not expect to start in the final, she will get a medal if the US team finishes in the top three. “This is a moment I will never forget, ending my career with the roar of the crowd,” she said. “End Tigray genocide,” they chanted at the end. One protester also ran onto the track holding a Tigray flag.Tsegay, who had won a 1,500m silver early in these championships, won in a brilliant sprint finish as world record-holder Letesenbet Gidey faded down the straight to miss the podium. Kenyan Beatrice Chebet won silver and Ethiopian Dawit Seyaum claimed bronze.
