BLACKGIRLMAGIC: Olympic Sprinter Allyson Felix’s Post-Pregnancy Return Breaks World Record Held By Usain Bolt

Talk about a comeback! Allyson Felix gave birth to a baby girl less than a year ago and she came back snatching world records. Deets inside…

Who said you can’t have kids and come back better than ever?

Olympic sprinter Allyson Felix took time off to make her family and then came back with a vengeance, proving women can be both moms and all-star athletes. Nike tried to throw salt in the game, penalizing her and other female track stars who were pregnant. Now, they’re eating her dust.

The 33-year-old sprinter snatched up a world record held by a MAN - and not just any man. The world’s fastest man. And she did it just 10-months after giving birth. #BlackGirlMagic!

Allyson competed in Team USA’s mixed-gender 4x400m relay team that won the gold at the IAAF World Championships in Doha, Qatar.



The win secured Allyson’s 12th gold medal at the world championships, which pushed her past Usain Bolt’s record for the most gold medals of any athlete at the track and field world championships. Yasssss!

Allyson’s return comes after a difficult pregnancy. She had to undergo a C-section at 32 weeks because she suffered from severe pre-eclampsia, which threatened the lives of her and her baby. Thankfully, everything went OK. She and her husband, Kenneth Ferguson, welcomed their daughter, Camryn, in November.

Allyson officially returned to competing back in July – eight months after welcoming her baby girl.

black woman over takes black man as world record holder, what about the rest ? :russ::salute::wow:



she broke the records because she had to get back before her little girl wakes up from her nap lol.

Above the fray.
I mean. . .still photographs can make things look one way. All I see a coach celebrating with his athlete.

:yeshrug:

Bob Kersee trained all the greats.
JJK was dominant and a great ambassador for Track & Field. She did proudly rep. ESL. I didn't know that it was an actual city until I saw a feature about her when I was young. I thought she was from the East side of St. Louis,MO.....not from a different city and state.

The Gail Devers celebration was just some rare T&F fukkery. Crazy/funny stuff happens so rarely in the sport , that fans remember all of them vividly.
