It wasn't quite a golden farewell for Allyson Felix.
But it was still a moment she'll never forget.
Felix won her 30th major international medal at the 2022 track and field world championships Friday night, running the second leg in the mixed-gender 4x400 relay as the Americans claimed bronze.
The 36-year-old will leave the sport next month with 19 world championship medals, in addition to the seven golds, three silvers and one bronze that she won in five Olympic appearances.
The U.S. team of Felix, Elija Godwin, Vernon Norwood and Kennedy Simon led for large swaths of Friday night's final at Hayward Field in Eugene, Oregon, but Simon was passed in the final meters by women from the Dominican Republic and the Netherlands, who took gold and silver, respectively.
