Allyson Felix has finally done it.

Felix won her first individual Olympic gold medal Wednesday night with a strong finish in the 200 meters, her signature event.

The two-time silver medalist held off Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce and Carmelita Jeter.

Felix raised her hands in triumph soon after crossing the finish line, a big weight off her shoulders.
