在07年的世界田径锦标赛上,埃里森·菲利克斯勇夺三金,成为有史以来第二位在世锦赛上获得如此佳绩的女运动员。这位年轻女将近日表示,自己目前状态良好,将全力冲击北京奥运会的金牌。

姓名:艾莉森·菲利克斯(Allyson Felix)
性别:女
籍贯:美国
生日:1985.11.18
身高:1.67米
体重:57公斤
项目:短跑
艾莉森·菲利克斯在其短跑生涯中,不会“逆天而行”。有了琼斯的前车之鉴(琼斯因滥用类固醇而入狱),菲利克斯深知,跑道并不能让你变成一个真正的王者。人们总会质疑她的清白。“人们的质疑让我非常沮丧,”22岁的菲利克斯说。她从未在药检中栽过跟头。琼斯也没有。“但是我理解。”
本届奥运会上,美国短跑选手们的头上仍将是阴云密布。麻醉剂问题像一根能割裂撕裂肌腱的道钉一样,成了这项运动的“肉中刺”,能否拔除此刺,全仰仗菲利克斯这样的运动员了。作为一名200米短跑的世界冠军,她是理想的“救世主”——又年轻又上镜,大方的笑容堪与跨栏用的栏架相媲美。她正在参加一项名为“信任工程”的试验计划,在这次计划中,运动员们要经受大量的血检和尿检,这些检查远远超出了世界反兴奋剂机构的要求。如果连菲利克斯都使用了兴奋剂,你干脆连发令枪都扔了吧。
菲利克斯高中毕业后便转为职业田径运动员,这在美国是史无前例的,她在雅典奥运会赢得了一枚200米短跑银牌。在去年的世界田径锦标赛上,她成了历史上第2位一举赢得3枚金牌(夺金项目:200米跑以及4×100米、4×400米接力赛)的女运动员。
她将于北京再创辉煌。“据我所知,”她的教练鲍勃·柯西(Bob Kersee)说,“之前能拥有艾莉森这般神速的人,是威尔玛·鲁道夫(Wilma Rudolph,前无古人的悍将)。”要想拯救田径运动,菲利克斯必须保持这种良好的状态。并且,保持清白。

Sprints
United States
Age: 22
Allyson Felix won't race past reality. After Marion Jones, who sits in jail because she lied about her steroid use, Felix knows that track can't crown a true queen. We'll always have to wonder if she's clean. "To be questioned is just frustrating," says Felix, 22, who has never failed a drug test. Neither had Jones. "But I understand."
Once again, the U.S. sprinters will have a cloud trailing them to the Olympics. Doping has ripped the sport like a track spike tearing a tendon, and it's up to athletes like Felix, the defending world champ in the 200 m, to heal it. She's the ideal savior — young and telegenic, with a smile as wide as a hurdle. She's participating in a pilot program, Project Believe, in which athletes undergo extensive blood and urine analyses that go beyond the World Anti-Doping Agency's guidelines. If Felix is doping, you might just as well put down the starting guns for good.
Felix was the first U.S. track athlete to turn pro right out of high school, and she won a 200-m silver in Athens. At last year's worlds, she became the second woman to win three golds — in the 200 m and in the 4 x 100-m and 4 x 400-m relays. She could do it again in Beijing. "The last person I saw with pickup like Allyson," says her coach, Bob Kersee, "was Wilma Rudolph" — an all-time great. To rescue track, Felix needs to be that good. And clean.
