From an interview in April 2020:
"While she has made it back to her pre-pregnancy conditioning -- Kersee said he expected her to run lifetime bests in the 200 and 400 meters this season -- at age 34, there's no telling how long her body can stay at this elite level."
She has since run 16.91 (-2.6) to "beat" SMU over 150m in July 2020, 7.28/22.59 indoors this year, and 50.88/22.26 (+2.1) outdoors this year.
While I think running PBs this year may be a stretch, Felix has looked excellent. I think she'll make the team in whichever event (200m/400m) she chooses. Making the team in both may prove difficult, obviously, but I reckon she could do that too.
I also think she'll end up on at least two out of the three relays regardless of which event(s) she runs.
