[Connolly wanted a conservative buildup of Felix's racing and commercial activities. Nehemiah and Paul Felix, Allyson's father, disagreed and wanted a more aggressive approach in both areas.] It's nobody's fault, ... It was just differences. |
[Not that the 5-6, 125-pound Felix looks strong.] I have athletes come up to me and say, 'She doesn't even look like an athlete,' ... She's got a little girl's body. |
[She's got the face.] She's so young looking, ... She's got a great smile and great skin. |
[The present was exciting Friday. When Felix hit the stretch in lane 6, she was behind Arron to her inside and Campbell to her outside.] I was worried, ... It looked like she was four meters behind. There was considerable daylight between her and Campbell and Arron. |
Athens on the third (of July) probably sounds like the place. |
Dwight Clark told me that he thought I was a phenomenal talent, and that Bill Walsh would love a guy like me, ... Bill was intrigued. Once word got out that I tried out with the 49ers, I could've picked where I wanted to go. |

I got in his face. You won the gold medal, I told him, but it's over. |
I was a world-record holder, and I have a Super Bowl ring. There are very few people who can say that. I played for the best team ever during that time. It's an experience I'd never take back. |
I was clearly the best hurdler in 1980, and not getting a chance to go to the Olympics was very hurtful to me, ... It took me many, many years to address it. That was the single biggest motivating factor in going into football. |
