I was fast in my youth and set some records in the 440 but I never could pace myself to effectively avoid the extreme muscle fatigue on the back stretch and actually locked up when I thought I could run at a 100 yard pace that far. The 400 is a bitch but the 400M hurdles is beyond that! Sydney, you're incredible!

Yes! Lol! Lactic acid build up is no joke. I ran an 800m race when I was 15. I literally ran as hard and fast as I could for the entire race. When I crossed the finish line, I had so much lactic acid build up that I dropped. My team mates had to drag me off the track. I won and got called on by a cross country head coach as a result. It was an amazing experience to push my body to such a limit.

You got to be really annoyed with how these "reporters/interviewers" continue to ask the track athletes questions, after they break records, that are filled with doping innuendos. They did it with Shericka Jackson too after she ran the second fastest time in the women's 200m. These guys need to be checked. Of course Sydney ignored that person's remarks and stayed centered and undistracted.

It’s a part of the sports history that she is writing.

[@anthonyharty1732]

McLaughlin is doped up, getting away with it.

[@spotted_salamander]

@@anthonyharty1732 I would refrain from making those accusations. Sydney said in this press conference that she was expecting "craziness" to follow after setting this recent world record. And your comments are an example of what she was referring to. Only obvious things that come out in the wash are deserving of those remarks. As much as I was rooting for Delilah, it would not make me diminish what Sydney has done in such a short period of time. Sydney seems to be a very centered person and also driven by Christian principles. There's nothing more to be said, as it stands.

Femke is a great runner and she's young. She could have won the gold in the flat 400m, but chooses to run in the tough race. Respect!

@@bonstad Yea we will see. Her amazing development and results are now being overshadowed by phenomenon McLaughlin. Not sure if Femke can reach those times, but perhaps McLaughlin's style and technique are already on the max, while there is still a lot to improve on Femke's. Hopefully we gonna see a lot of great battles between these 2!

Watch for that 4x400 split

[@ak11uk4]

Femke Bol will be a different beast in 2023. Sydney will get a few shocks this term. Femke now 500m Indoor World Record holder and today (19.2.2023) she broke the 41 year old 400m Indoor record that was held by (suspect time) of Jarmila Kratochvílová. Glad that one is off the record books. Now Athing Mu or Keely Hodgkinson need to remove her 800m outdoor record from the books!! However, I see Femke Bol making her own waves and great times in 2023, indoor already and next, outdoor, provided she remains injury free as do her competitors!!

[@virgilius7036]

Where was Femke during the Sydney 50.68? More than 10 meters behind! You never watch the race? Sydney is faster! At the Olympics they jumped the hurdle together at the start of the straight line, but on the finish line Femke was 5 meters behind. What makes Syd strong is her resistance which allows her to finish her race faster than the other girls. There are no match! Syd first and the others far away.

[@PrinTed56]

When the German journalist said they called the record holder a running pharmacy was hilarious. Everyone knows that record ain’t legal and needs to go.

@@TC-kf9zw the World record holder in 1985 was definitely on a lot of performance enhancing drugs. To run 47.60 and even the previous wr holder running 47.99 were almost certainly doping. Even Flo Jo was suspicious, she stopped running as soon as they started drug testing.
