Her 2013 Moscow World Championship run was cut short by a hamstring injury in the 200m final, interrupting a bid for a 200m-400m double.

The plan includes establishing a focused training program with Kersee and a potentially reduced competition schedule rather than regular circuit racing.

Allyson Felix, now 40, is aiming for a comeback to potentially compete in the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics, hoping to add to her record Olympic medal haul.

Her 2012 Olympic Trials drama ended in a dead heat for the fifth spot with Jeneba Tarmoh; Tarmoh withdrew, giving Felix the place.

Felix, who holds 11 Olympic medals and seven Olympic titles, including six in relays and one individual 200m gold in London 2012, is planning a return.

She intends to begin full-time training in October under coach Bobby Kersee, with the goal of showing progress by next year and competing in 2027.

Felix is outlining a return plan that emphasizes sources of support and a gradual rebuild.

Felix’s personal history includes retirement in 2022, two children, and advocacy for mothers in sport, highlighted by a 2019 Nike sponsorship dispute that led to policy changes.

There is a historic opportunity to compete on home soil in Los Angeles.

Felix reflected on mixed emotions after Paris 2024, feeling excited yet missing the competition.

A 2016 setback saw her miss the Olympic 200m team by 0.01 seconds, redirecting focus to the 400m.

The path is challenging given the U.S. sprinting depth and the rarity of over-40 Olympians, even with inspiring precedents.
