Third leg would be great for her. Hurdlers have special skills running the turn, but don’t have the quick start that a 100m specialist has. But it’s never going to happen. 4x400 is her most devastating relay spot. Along with Athing Mu and whomever else is among our best at 400 meters, US is unbeatable again if Sydney will run for us, and probably even if she doesn’t.

It’s important to point out that her reaction time was over HALF A SECOND in this race, so, if she’d had a good tailwind and a more normal reaction time, she’d be able to EASILY go well under 22.

[@efisgpr]

Thank you!! And not even trying to get more knee lift or shorten her strides. Definitely ENORMOUS potential for 21-mid.

[@etuoyo]

It seems those reaction times are wrong. There were multiple athletes with over half a second reaction time and many with over . 4 in multiple races and statistically that is absolutely impossible. A half a second reaction time would also be very visible to the naked eye which was not the case here. Go and watch Blakes terrible .2 second reaction time from his 19.26 and then multiply that by 2 and a half times and then picture how bad your start would have to be to get a half a second reaction time. The athlete inside you on the bend would have almost caught up with you before you have left the blocks.

[@AthleticsEditz]

@@etuoyo Yeah I have to agree with you there mate. To be honest, it doesn’t even show the start at all/very well in the video so I couldn’t really tell. But yeah, the reaction times are probably wrong. Still a great world lead from a 400m hurdler!

To get a crazy strong start like that as a 400m hurdler is other worldly. Gabby Thomas will be back and stronger in the Olympic trails. She great regarding racing strategy and her overall strength. If she's healthy in the summer I think she's a lock for a medal behind Sherricka Jackson. Abby Stiener's top end speed looks back even after an injury. Great to see her again. Hopefully she can make the olympic team as well. I'm excited for Paris.

[@weljenks]

Yeah, Sidney isn't resting on her laurels and wishful thinking to anyone who thinks any of her competitors can keep up with her in the 400 hurdles . She looks ready for a low 50 point or possibly dipping into 49 seconds. She getting better. Speed, endurance, the full package. Hopefully she'll run an open 400 soon so she can break the American record.

I would love for Sydney to do 200m from 2026 in the fallow year of athletics into 2028 going to the LA Olympics. There is something about Sydney and her ability to be so versatile that could make a major threat in the 200m. This race in my opinion, is one of many that showcases she can flow between almost all the sprint events and could be dominant in any event she chooses (The 100mh, 200m, 400m & 400mh specifically).

​@@Magnusfication Troll? She has never and will never beat Syd. Syd is the greatest ever. You look stupid right now.

[@louisdenny8119]

Best in world at 200m for women is JAMAICAN get your fact RIGHT

[@Trackreator]

Other than 400h and 400, now also 200 at maximum possible level. What will she drop at Oly?

[@JohnSmith-ki2hl]

Sydney is a great athlete .... and a great person.

[@thisisfrusfratingyo]

Why cant any coach fix Abby's form. She's gifted, akward arm hand movement is not optimal. Yes i am a man and ran highschool track. I was not gifted, so i made up the gap. Abbey, you might as well run with 16oz boxing gloves. Hope you and ur fan favorites adapt. A 400 meter hurdle has better short distance form than you. This not hate.....but motivation for Abby. She is gifted.

[@carycase5563]

It wasn’t an upset to me, I predicted this

[@victor9]

let her cook!

[@roberthudson1959]

"Subsequent" Olympic Games, not "preceding." "Preceding" means "to come before." SML is expanding her comfort zone, and the rest of women's track needs to take note. Unless the 400 final at the Trials goes completely off the rails, the USA entry into the women's 4x400 should be spectacular.

[@malikking9739]

What’s really WILD is it appears she WASNT EVEN WEARING SPIKES! Unless I’m mistaken, she was the only athlete wearing regular running shoes, which are significantly heavier than track spikes. Could be another couple tenths difference.

[@9ine_598]

This lady is gonna pull a Flojo performance this year. Simply being unbeatable.

[@KeruboOnkoba]

Yes

[@dr.c9461]

The 2024 Prefontaine Classic is this coming weekend. It is going to be very interesting. Sydney may shatter more records there.

[@abrahamjackson6019]

Wow ! I thought she would take third or fourth, she absolutely dominated . Extra-Ordinary

[@robws007]

Such a dominant performance, Abby Steiner and Gabby Thomas must be feeling a little relieved that Sydney McLaughlin isn't intending to continue competing in the 200m... but then, why doesn't she? Still curious why she & her coach want to limit her at the international level to the 400mH, where she is already the GOAT, instead of pushing the envelope in the 200m and 400m? She has already proven herself to be a legitimate contender, if anything would make her an athlete for the ages it would be winning in multiple events.

[@KevinJonessuprq87]

I wonder what derailed the two-year 400M project. Paulino, possibly?

[@forwardpass2725]

SML is the GOAT

[@MarkLaw13]

Honestly i saw Elaine Thompson lose every race, just do enough to qualify but when D-Day came she won everything by a few seconds surprising her Jamaican teammate who was favourite in everything. My point is, not every runner is going hard until silverware is the goal

[@theangryamerican63]

Syd is a straight up alien . If ever anyone has seen a more complete female sprinter in the history of athletics including flo jo and the current big 3 from jamaica Id like to hear who it is. The woman had not competed in a 200 m in 6 years. She lines up in the box with imo the 2 greatest 200m sprinters the USA has , and in a workman like , easy as you please manner torches both while posting a personal best of 22.03 ! Not even close. Honestly.. nothing terribly shocking here in as far as Syd is concerned. this woman is the final word in being prepared to compete. What I found astounding was Gabbys baffelingly slow and honestly dismal showing. Please , someone who was there tell me she was holding back.. dogging it for some reason known only to her , god and her coach. Its a forgone conclusion after seeing her in LA that if ... she wanted it , yea she would own the 200m field . And when I say field I mean the entire World. every single thing she decides to compete in ... Its lights out. Will miss very much seeing her astound the World with the first undoped sub 48 clocking in the 400m if the rumors prove true that she will once again defend her 400m hurdles title in paris. It isn't really necessary although any chance to see Syd and Femke on the track at the same time is simply must see. The highest drama the world could hope for is that Syd doesnt defend in the hurdles and locks in on the 400m sprint. Why ? Because its the one event that she can and should compete in where the outcome is not a forgone conclusion . Love me some Femke Bol...not a snow balls chance in hell she beats Sydney in the 400 h. The 400m sprint however... Oh yea ..this is definitely one she could lose with the likes of Paulido , and shana miller Ouibo to deal with. But if she jumps in .. she wont lose. As I said , she IS the final word in preparedness

[@veridicusmaximus6010]

It's not like she was not fast before - she has always been a speedy one - her 22.39 in 2018 is not far off and considering how much she has improved since then in the 400 and her new coach this is not really a big leap!

[@BradAdams-y5f]

Syd's 400 hurdles is faster than Femke and Femke's much faster than everyone else

[@winstongreen7128]

The Americans are running some fast times but when athletes from other countries ran fast times they are watched and obviously rigorously tested. Is the method of testing for drugs are behind??????!

[@kyleessex6301]

Schedule depending I think the 200's are a bid to make the 4x1 in addition to the 4x4 teams this olympic year

[@curtisthomson4209]

Looks like she's going after her own world record. Hope she gets back to the 400 flat soon. It'll be exciting watching her chase that record.

[@jadedbrad]

Sydney should run a 300 and the never run 500 to get speed and endurance for the 400 and 400 hurdles. Bracketing rules!

[@guslevy3506]

Yeah…go ahead haterz, doubt Syd at your own risk…

[@summerlakephotog8239]

What was it? A two heat finals? I didn’t even see Abby Steiner.

[@krslavin]

Abby was in lane 8 (9 lanes)

[@nightworg]

Sydney is one of the biggest female stars already. I knew she would do good but this is surprising.

[@rubencantu4527]

Sydney is the GOAT of track and field at whatever she wants to compete in.

[@stonew1927]

In all fairness, the other women's times were far off their personal best. Seems like none of them are too concerned about peaking at this time, and Sydney's time was nowhere near the other runners' PB.

[@comments8742]

what was Gabby Thomas saying about her Jamaican roots making her fast?

[@emclesaittout3634]

Can’t stand how he breaks up the subject matter. It’s too choppy.

[@kofiashiboe-mensah686]

What happened to old fashioned videos of a race. It's getting harder to find video edits of races.

[@manuelluna1500]

She commented iafter the race that she was disappointed she didn't go under 22

[@programatick]

Gabby is certainly not going all out. However with this speed, her 400/hurdles PB is gonna drop

[@NelsonJ1]

Gabby was running to win. She is just inconsistent.

[@Brave-828]

She was a little too ambitious running two events on the same day. She did poorly in either

[@veridicusmaximus6010]

Does not work like that, her 200 pb before this was 22.39 in 2018 - this is not much better for six years onward and a lot more improvement in he 400mH times primarily based on her stride pattern not her speed. And given the new coach it's somewhat expected. She has always been fast!

[@skriabinfly]

2:28 "Sydney's abilities cannot be understated" 🤔

[@markuse3472]

I want Abby Steiner to step up more, but I am not sure she can. I hope she can.

[@axezazel]

What the…
