She did not know anything about athletics and was not particularly interested in it but she won her first race. "The sensations were extraordinary so I continued with it." Her best senior solo result was finishing 4th in the 200 m final at the 2002 European Athletics Championships in Munich.

Felix was the 1996 world junior 200 m champion. Her occupation is police officer. She is a graduated sociologist. She finished 5th in the 200 m final and 7th in the 100 m final at the 2006 European Athletics Championships in Gothenburg.
