Sydney McLaughlin-Levrone has shattered another world record ahead of the Paris 2024 Olympic Games.
The reigning Olympic champion in the 400m hurdles recorded a blistering 50.65 on Sunday, June 30, at the U.S. Track and Field Olympic Team Trials at Hayward Field in Eugene, Oregon. This victory secured her spot in Paris.
McLaughlin-Levrone broke her own world record of 50.68, set on the same track at the World Championships two years ago. This performance solidifies her position ahead of Dutch rival Femke Bol, who clocked 52.49 at the European Championships earlier in June.
Joining McLaughlin-Levrone on the U.S. Olympic team for Paris are Anna Cockrell, who finished second with a time of 52.64, and Jasmine Jones, who came in third with a time of 52.77.
