Sydney McLaughlin REACTS to winning the GOLD Medal in the women's 400m hurdles with new world RECORD

[@stevegonsolin1990]

The timing of Sydney coming in to her own while Allison Felix soon to her retirement couldn't have been a more perfect setup. It's the passing of the baton. Both quite amazing!

Just a few days before she turned 22 when she did this interview. She has the poise and professionalism of someone much older and has a great attitude for handling this kind of pressure packed environment. She has been destined to be great for a long time and she is one of those rare athletes who has lived up to their potential. She set this WR and won the Olympic gold medal at almost the exact same age as Usain Bolt was when he won his first Olympic gold in 2008 just a few days before his 22nd birthday. But she is in an event where they don't peak until they are much older. Who knows how fast she will run. We might see a sub 51.00 400m hurdles in a few years. Mind boggling.
