BEIJING - Her loss in the Olympic 200-meter final was not surprising if you looked at it dispassionately, not after the ups and downs runner Allyson Felix had all season. She accepted the silver medal Thursday night with her customary graciousness, saying it would be ungrateful to be unhappy over a prize so few people have.It was tearing Felix up inside."For two days after we got done crying after the race, she didn't talk to me," said her coach, Bob Kersee.He sent text messages. Felix responded with just two words: "I'm OK. "I was still grieving my 200," Felix said with a laugh. "To be able to have a second chance, to be able to come together with these girls was great."Felix was third, .62 of a second behind Russia, when she got the baton from Wineberg. She turned it over to Henderson with a lead of .25 of a second by running the fastest leg, 48.55 seconds, of anyone in the relay final."
