0:24Now PlayingWith the 2024 Summer Olympics underway, Allyson Felix, the most decorated athlete in track and field history, says the other sport she would choose to compete in at the Games is gymnastics.
"It would have been gymnastics for sure," she said. "You know, I ended up way too tall, way too long a place and not flexible. But in another lifetime, I think it would have been that."
