The sprinter Allyson Felix has competed in four Olympics, winning more medals in track and field — nine — than any other American woman.

As she has grown older, Felix, who is 35, has also earned increased attention for her work outside the arena. The difficult birth of her daughter, Camryn, in 2018 caused her to speak out for racial equality in maternal health care.
