U.S. runner Allyson Felix says she expects to be close to 100 percent when 400-meter qualifying begins on August 13th.
Felix, who hurt her right ankle during training this spring, was at less than 100 percent earlier this month when she ran in the U.S. Olympic trials.
She failed to qualify for her favorite race, the 200 meters, and will not have a chance to defend her Olympic title at that distance.
At the U.S. training camp on Friday, Felix said she doesn’t think she’ll ever get past the disappointment of not getting to go for the 200-400 double, but she’s focused on the task at hand.
