Felix, born and raised in southern California, is also a devout Christian and is the daughter of an ordained minister and professor of New Testament at The Master’s Seminary in Sun Valley, California.

My speed is definitely a gift from Him, and I run for His glory. Whatever I do, He allows me to do it.”

In 2007 she became only the second female athlete – after Marita Koch in 1983 – to win three gold medals at a single IAAF World Championships in Athletics.

At just 18 Felix finished as silver medalist in the 200 metres at the 2004 Summer Olympics, behind Veronica Campbell of Jamaica; in doing so set a World Junior record over 200 meters with her time of 22.18.

At Osaka Felix caught Jamaican Veronica Campbell on the bend and surged down the straight to finish in 21.81 seconds, lowering her own season-leading time by a massive 0.37 seconds. After the final she stated that “I feel so good, I am so excited. I have been waiting for so long to run such a time, to run under 22 seconds. it has not been an easy road, but finally I managed,” said Felix. And as for the future “My next goal is not the world record, but a gold in Beijing. I want to take it step by step. I might consider to do both — the 200 and the 400 meters — there.” She also has plans for the 100m “I like the 100m but it didn’t quite come together this year. I haven’t reached my potential because I have problems with my start. But I haven’t given up on it, I’m still excited to work on it.”
