American track and field superstar Sydney McLaughlin-Levrone delivered a performance for the ages, shattering her own world record to win gold in the women’s 400m hurdles at the Paris Olympics.
McLaughlin-Levrone crossed the finish line in an incredible 50.37 seconds, leaving her competitors in awe. She had set the previous world record of 50.65 seconds just two months earlier.
The highly anticipated clash with Dutch rival Femke Bol, the second-fastest woman in the event, failed to materialize as McLaughlin-Levrone dominated from start to finish. Bol finished third behind American Anna Cockrell, who secured silver.
McLaughlin-Levrone’s victory marks her sixth global title, solidifying her status as one of the greatest track and field athletes of all time.
