CBSN
The most decorated track and field athlete in Olympic history is officially hanging up her shoes. Allyson Felix announced Wednesday that she will retire after the 2022 season.
"As a little girl they called chicken legs, never in my wildest dreams would I have imagined I'd have a career like this," Felix captioned her heartfelt Instagram post. "I have so much gratitude for this sport that has changed my life. I have given everything I have to running and for the first time I'm not sure if I have anything left to give. I want to say goodbye and thank you to the sport and people who have helped shape me the only way I know how—with one last run."
"This season isn't about the time on the clock, it's simply about joy," she continued. "If you see me on the track this year I hope to share a moment, a memory and my appreciation with you."
