Olympic Champ Allyson Felix Weighs In On Lolo Jones’ Media Backlash

On The Race:
“I was really hurting with 6 laps to go on that race. I wasn’t sure if I was going to be able to stay up with the lead group. I wasn’t really thinking about finishing, I was just thinking about hanging on at that point, but the crowd here was so amazing, the stadium, the energy that was in there was unlike anything I’ve ever seen…just them going crazy for Mo [Farah]. I tried to kind of channel that and think that they were cheering for me and with 2 laps to go I just got a huge surge of energy and kind of a jolt. At that point I was like: ‘Okay, I can do this.’ And you just need to get back to focusing on what you need to do, holding your form, and doing the little things. I just tried to stay up there and then with 200 meters to go I really tried to make a move and was able to kick home in to silver.” Galen’s post race celebration? “We had big rib-eye steaks as soon as I got done and french fries. We definitely got some belated celebrating in.”
