You go girl!
If you’re wondering where the 31-year-old track star keeps her illustrious medals, she doesn’t. Her parents have them.
“I really don’t know what they do with them,” she joked. “I guess they look at them sometimes. They’re really proud,“ she told ESPN.com.
And we’re proud of you Allyson! Congratulations!
