Sydney McLaughlin-Levrone delivered a breathtaking performance at the Paris 2024 Olympics, claiming gold in the women’s 400m hurdles and breaking her own world record in the process. McLaughlin-Levrone crossed the finish line in 50.37 seconds, smashing her previous record of 50.65 seconds and cementing her legacy as one of the greatest hurdlers of all time.
Anna Cockrell, another American standout, secured the silver medal with a time of 51.87 seconds, making it a 1-2 finish for Team USA. The race was a display of pure athleticism, with McLaughlin-Levrone dominating from start to finish.
Femke Bol of the Netherlands, known for her powerful strides, took the bronze. However, she was visibly disappointed post-race, perhaps because she was hoping to upgrade her silver from Tokyo 2020 to gold.
McLaughlin-Levrone’s record-breaking run not only adds to her growing list of accolades but also highlights the USA’s continued success in track and field at the Paris Games.
