Unlimited drive: Allyson Felix, Simone Biles, Alex Morgan ready for Rio

Nike is promoting its “Unlimited” shoe line with a series of slickly-produced videos featuring a number of elite athletes, the majority of whom will be competing at the Rio Olympics a week from now.

Most notable of the Nike-sponsored stars that will watch the Games from afar are LeBron James who is taking a well-deserved rest from basketball after leading the Cleveland Cavaliers to the NBA Championship in early June, and Rory McIlroy who decided to forgo the trip to Brazil over Zika virus concerns.

Of the Unlimited athletes that will be starring in Rio, sprinter Allyson Felix has the most Olympic medals to her name, having won 4 golds and 2 silvers over the course of the two previous Games.
