(Reuters) - Olympic 200 metres gold medallist Allyson Felix has chosen to run the 400 metres at next month's world championships, her coach told Reuters on Wednesday.

"We wanted to do both (the 200m and 400m) but the schedule will not allow it, so it's the 400," Bob Kersee said in a telephone interview from Oregon.
