World Athletics Championships: Allyson Felix signs off career with a bronze as Dominican Republic win 4x400 mixed relay
Allyson Felix was denied a golden farewell at the World Championships after the United States took bronze behind Dominican Republic and Netherlands in a spectacular 4x400m mixed relay in Eugene, Oregon on Friday. The United States opened a massive gap in the final changeover and looked set for victory but Dominican anchor Fiordaliza Cofil reeled in Kennedy Simon down the home stretch to win gold and go one better than their silver at the Tokyo Olympics. "We have been training hard for this moment so I knew I could catch her," Cofil said of Simon. "Allyson Felix is a legend and I am happy to be in the final with her."
