Felix won gold in the 2012 London Olympics in the 200-meter and silver at both the 2004 and 2008 Olympics in the event. Her gold medal in the 400-meter world championship last year came with a time of 49.26 seconds.
In the 800-meter, Kenya’s David Rudisha will attempt to defend his title. However, France’s Pierre-Ambroise Bosse and Algeria’s Taoufik Makhloufi both posted times better than him in the preliminary heats on Sunday.
