World champion Allyson Felix won an impressive double, the women’s 100 meters and 400m, Friday at the Qatar IAAF World Super Tour 2007, part of the IAAF World Athletics Tour 2007, in Doha, Qatar.
Felix started off her night with a win in the women’s 100m, crossing the line in 11.27 seconds to beat reigning world 100m champion Lauryn Williams, who took fourth in 11.39. A little less than an hour later, Felix was back on the track in the women’s 400m where she blasted her way to a new personal record and world-leading 50.40 for the win.
