Sydney McLaughlin JUST WENT CRAZY! - Women's 400 Meters

🔔 Subscribe now with all notifications for more World Athletics, Athletics, and Track and Field
It is no secret for sports fans that #sydneymclaughlin the so-called queen of the 400m hurdles, has now entered a new event: the 400m flat. And like her husband said, as an athlete, you’d want to set a new #trackandfield world record. In light of this, Sydney has now put the women's 400m field on alert as she's ready to challenge the best.
So far, Sydney McLaughlin is proving to be a quick study in her newest event. In fact, she is very very quick to transition.
It was a few months ago when Sydney McLaughlin strayed from the 400m hurdles where she is the reigning Olympic and world champion and four times broke the world record and ran her first flat 400m in two years.
The transition wouldn’t have been easy. As Sydney’s husband said. In fact, Sydney finished second place in her first one-lap flat race in two years. Sydney McLaughlin ran her first 400m race in the Diamond League Series circuit, at the Paris #diamondleague 2023, where she hasn’t raced since 2019.

Let's not forget that at 17, she ran a 4x400 split in 49.85, which is incredible at this age! That's why Bob Kersee thinks she can beat the WR.

[@BattShytKuhraezy]

Correct. PARTIALLY

Yeah, it's always easier to run a faster time in a relay vs an individual race.

I say she is 48.6 s ability in 400 m now. Maybe by September, she will be at 48.3 seconds. 47.55 seconds is not until July 2024.

good luck sydney

[@a2knyc]

It seems no one understands that she didn’t make any mistakes in the first race. The goal was to see how she held up coming out at a high rate. This would inform training and pacing. She even said this. The goal wasn’t to win.

[@deangeliquehardeman768]

Exactly!! I’m tired of people saying “She went to fast….rookie mistake…. She need to do this do that” When Bob Kersee specifically told run her first 200 that fast. She was on the pace of the WR.

And she is far from being at his best, it's only the beginning of the season, she will be on top at the world championships!
