World Championships - Helsinki, Finland August 6th-14th

Allyson Felix takes USATF Sr 200m
Olympic silver medalist goes after gold in World Champs!!
one year out of LA Baptist - Olympic Silver (2004) - two years (2005) - World Champ?
(Kirby Lee photo)
Pre World Champion Meet Press Conference with Allyson:
“My focus has been on strength and only at the later part of the season have
I moved on to the speed work.”
“To beat her (Veronica Campbell, Olympic gold medallist) in Helsinki I need to
get out well. I need to execute the first half of the race better, as Veronica is a very strong runner.”
“I gained a lot of experience from the Olympics but I have to be more patient
and learn more about the event.”
About the much speculated possibility of her being Gatlin’s girlfriend –
“Justin is a great friend. It’s nice to have him around the village.”
