Sydney McLaughlin-Levrone after 50.65 world record in 400m hurdles at US Olympic Trials

[@BiggReezy-165]

Running those 100m and 200m races earlier in the season paid off. She’s the goat.

She’s pretty much faster in the 400mh than the 400m runners that the US is sending to Paris. Thats insane.

No. They are still about a full second faster than her which is a lot in the sprints. However, Sydney would have beat all of them in the flat 400m hands down.

IF Sydney can run the 400m hurdles in 49.99 seconds, then she could drop the hurdles next year (or even permanently) and focus on breaking the 400m flat WR of 47.60, an East German (steroid) record that has stood since 1985. I bet Syd could own both WRs. Sydney should NOT run the mixed 4 x 400 because a man from another country could run her over as teams pass batons. She lost last year to injury and the upside (a poorly regarded event) isn’t worth the risk for one of the greatest female Track stars in history. In Paris, Syd will run the 400m hurdles and the women’s 4 x 400 meters. She is likely to leave another Olympics with 2 Gold medals and possibly her sixth WR, which depends as much on the weather and the track as it does Sydney.
