AFP, LOS ANGELES: US track queen Allyson Felix said Monday she has set her sights on the 2020 Olympics after winning a record sixth gold medal at last year's Rio games.
The 31-year-old 400m and 200m star revealed she plans to compete in at least one more Olympics after being honored as female athlete of the year at the Los Angeles Sports Awards.
Felix became the only female track and field athlete in history to win six Olympic gold medals last year when she added the 4x100m and 4x400m titles to the four golds she accumulated at the 2008 and 2012 Games.
The Los Angeles native stands tied with Jamaican great Merlene Ottey as the most decorated female Olympian in track and field history with a total of nine Olympic medals.
Felix said Monday she planned to scale back her commitments in order to compete in Tokyo -- in what would be her fifth Olympics.
“Yes, I think I want to do it,” Felix said when asked if she planned to race in Japan. "I am still excited about the sport.
