Allyson Felix crosses the finish line in Beijing at the 2015 World Championships
to win her first major 400 metres title. With three Olympic 200 metres gold medals
and four World Championships over the same distance she had never won a gold
over one lap (apart from a 4x400m relay gold for the USA). She ended that record
with a comfortable victory in the Chinese capital. Her time was the fastest in the world.
