Sport: Track and field
Country: USA
The most decorated track and field athlete of all time is looking to return for her fifth Olympics, and to say we're excited is an understatement. Felix, who runs the 400m and 4x400m relay, has had a rollercoaster four years since Rio. In 2018, she gave birth to her daughter, Camryn, after undergoing an emergency C-section; going through a protracted sponsorship battle with Nike; and returning for an inspiring show at the 2019 world championships that saw her breaking a medal record she once held with Usain Bolt. Another year of preparation will likely make Felix an even more fearsome competitor as she looks to add to her collection of Olympic medals (she already has nine).
