Zitat des Tages von Allyson Felix:
I was a disruptive child.
Philippians 1:21 is very special to me because it helps to keep my life centered.
I love a great pair of jeans and a nice blouse.
I feel old.
My mom is great and I make sure that we pray together before every race. She helps me put everything in perspective and remind me of the real reason I run.
I'm really laid back but I still like to dress up sometimes.
I think that kids aren't even exploring the option of sports anymore, and they don't even know what they could do.
I spend around three hours on the track and two hours in the weight room, five or six days a week.
The 200 meters is my baby. To me, it's the perfect distance. It's still a true sprint, but it unravels more. You get to enjoy the race a little bit more than the 100.
My dad's a pastor and a seminary professor; my mom, she has such great faith.
You know, I love wearing heels. I wish I could wear them all the time, but, you know, my sport doesn't really permit it.
My faith inspires me so much. It is the very reason that I run. I feel that my running is completely a gift from God and it is my responsibility to use it to glorify him.
I have learned that track doesn't define me. My faith defines me. I'm running because I have been blessed with a gift.
It was not until the end of my freshman year in high school that I thought I could really have a future in track and field. I definitely did not think I could make it to the Olympics back then, though; I was just focused on making it to the state finals!
The most important lesson that I have learned is to trust God in every circumstance. Lots of times we go through different trials and following God's plan seems like it doesn't make any sense at all. God is always in control and he will never leave us.
Right now I'd say my favorite fashion designer is Zac Posen.
I am a sprinter, and I love to go fast. It's very difficult for me to be patient and follow a race strategy or conserve energy.
I spend around two and half hours on the track every day running and another 2 hours in the weight room lifting weights with my strength coach.
My speed is a gift from God, and I run for His glory. Whatever I do, it all comes from him.
I majored in elementary education, and I have a passion for kids.
I grew up in a Christian home with amazing parents.
I am a big believer in visualization. I run through my races mentally so that I feel even more prepared.
