OSTRAVA - US athletics great Allyson Felix said Monday she had"no regrets" about her medal-studded sports career which she expects to wind up after this season.
"There's always things that I wish I could have done better or differently but when I look back I have no regrets," added the 36-year-old, who announced her retirement last month.Asked what the sport has given her, Felix said:"A lot of lessons like dealing with defeats and overcoming and so many lifelong friends."With 11 Olympic medals, the first from Athens in 2004 and the last from Tokyo last year, Felix is the most decorated woman in the history of Olympic athletics.
This year, the United States will host the World Championships for the first time ever, and Felix is ready to compete there one last time. "I will compete at US trials and I'll have my final showing there as well," she said, adding however that she had modest expectations from the Worlds.Felix will run 200 metres at Ostrava but will hardly attack her personal best of 21.69 seconds from 2012, the seventh fastest time ever.
