Felix’s 12th world title
In late September, the U.S. won the mixed-gender 4x400m relay – an event that was being held at the IAAF World Championships for the first time ever. They did it in style in the event that was held in Doha, Qatar as they won the race in a world record time of 3:09.34.
Wilbert London, Allyson Felix, Courtney Okolo and Michael Cherry were the quartet who made it possible, claiming gold in the process. It was extra special for Felix as it was not only her first gold medal as a mother, but also her 12th gold medal in World Championships overall.
With her 12th world title, Felix broke her tie with sprint legend Usain Bolt and went past his tally of 11 World Championship golds.
