Allyson Felix’s last lap wasn’t her last lap after all.
While Day 8 of the World Athletics Championships were unfolding Friday in Eugene, Oregon, the NBC Olympics Twitter feed announced that Felix will run the preliminary round of the women’s 4×400 meter relay on Saturday night.
For weeks it had been advertised that Felix’s last race on the global stage would be in the mixed 4x400m relay, which took place last week, on the first night of the Championships.
The 36-year-old announced in April that this would be her last competitive season.
