American sprinter Allyson Felix, the most decorated woman in Olympic and IAAF World Championship history, is eyeing a final shot at the one major medal to elude her – Olympic 400 meters gold .

With six Olympic titles to her name, Felix is now focusing on the 400metres despite the 200 being her favorite event and the one in which she won gold at the 2012 Olympics.

The 31-year-old just missed out on gold in Rio De Janeiro last year and at this year’s world championships in London she had to settle for bronze.

Felix admitted her strategy went wrong in the world 400metres final in London this year when she ran the first 200metres too fast.

Before she starts her strenuous training schedule for next year, Felix is enjoying coaching youngsters and holding sprint clinics in the United Arab Emirates.
