, the athlete—whose footwear was provided by Adidas for seven years, then Nike for seven years—is still working on securing a shoe sponsor. In the meantime, she will continue focusing on training, competing, and mothering as usual, with the goal of making it onto the 4x400 team at the World Championships and the 2020 Tokyo Olympics. If she does make the Olympic team, it will be her fifth and final Olympics, she told NBC Sports.
“If I come back and I’m just not the same, if I can’t make a fifth Olympic team, I’m gonna know that I fought, that I was determined, and that I gave it my absolute all,” Felix wrote in ESPNW. “And if it doesn’t end up the way I imagined in my head, it’ll be okay. I just have to go for it, because that’s just simply who we are now.
