Allyson Felix Cleared For Double Gold
Allyson Felix has received a special dispensation for a chance to win double gold medals at the 2016 Rio Olympics this August. The International Association of Athletics Federations and the International Olympic Committee have agreed to alter the Olympic schedule to allow her to compete for Gold in the 200m and 400m race at this Summer’s games. Her plan at the Rio Olympics is to run a 400-meter semifinal in the evening on Aug. 14 and about 13 hours later race in the preliminaries of the 200 before running the 400 final just 13 hours after that.
