ABU DHABI (Reuters) - American sprinter Allyson Felix, the most decorated woman in Olympic and world championship history, is eyeing a final shot at the one major medal to elude her – Olympic 400 metres gold. With six Olympic titles to her name, Felix is now focusing on the 400m despite the 200 being her favourite event and the one in which she won gold at the 2012 Olympics. "I think I haven’t reached my full potential in the 400’s as of now,” Felix told Reuters on Thursday. She is training local sprinters after being challenged by NBA great Kobe Bryant to coach athletes for the 2019 Special Olympics World Summer Games in Abu Dhabi. Felix does not plan to go into coaching when she retires, nor is she intending to compete into her late thirties, but she is very grateful for her athletics career.
