Sydney McLaughlin-Levrone was UNCATCHABLE in world record 400m hurdles | Paris Olympics

Well done Syd and Anna you were magnificent too

The Queen

"You can tell who's in the lead by who goes over the hurdle first" Thanks for that insight Richards-Ross,we would never have known that 🤡

If this was horse racing it would be like Secretariat running against claimers. Total domination!!!!

The bigger shock was Cockrell 2nd and Bol 3rd

I remember when she first debuted at the Rio Olympics. Even though she lost, I knew she was going to be great

I wanted that 123 sweep❤🔥

The goat

My babymama!

Inspirational!

Anna Cockrell has such a bright, positive personality. Congratulations to her for edging out Femke Bol. At 26-almost 27 maybe this was her last Olympics but I'd love to see her again in Los Angeles.

Wow, so much poise shown by Sydney! Made the USA proud!

When I watch Sydney, it's clear that she has a massive edge over other hurdlers in terms of power. Others are great runners but Sydney has so much power in her stride throughout the entire race. When she lands after a hurdle, you can see her immediately accelerate again, whereas others lose momentum on the landing. The other thing I noticed here vs Bol is the time per hurdle. She gets up, over, and down SO quickly compared to Bol. Basically, less airtime per hurdle. She's making smaller jumps than the other competitors, which are more efficient over the span of the race. This I think is also reducing the impact recoil on landing, making it easier for her to continue a low and powerful stride. She has mastered this event.

I cried like i was her momma .... absolute greatness

We didn't get enough credit to jasmine Jones. Usa almost went 123

She's too far ahead in front of those people.....I don't know.

I wonder if she would ever do the 400 hurdles and flat in 2028. I think she could win gold in both and it would be truly unremarkable, a feat that won’t be touched

6 Olympic records💯💯💯👑👑👑❤️❤️❤️🔥🔥🔥💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾

USA

One word...GOAT. We are witnessing once in a lifetime dominant female track star. She makes it look easy.

Sydney is the GOAT in the 400m hurdles but how about Anna Cockrell beating out Femke Bol for silver…what a run by Anna too

Such a beautiful talent, with only great things to come .

That was incredible 😎

Femke was so broken by Syd

That acceleration after the 8th hurdle after already running 250m was epic!

Notice how Sydney switches lead leg over the hurdles which is hard to do without studdering stepping 🎉.

Anna Cockrell is gorgeous!! She is so beautiful. Congrats lady!!

Hello❤

Why am I just realizing this World Record would have been even faster had Sydney ran to the line…she leaned and let up way before the line. This is a fuqqin’ CLINIC…so many of these ladies performed at insane levels!

She is an amazing Athlete USA#1

congrats!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Where’s femke? I didn’t see her at the finish line

Back here in Feb of 2025 man this is just a thing of beauty, Sydney just on a planet by herself.

Champion through and through ❤🎉🥇🥇Go Syd🏃🏽‍♀️🔥

Usa has such beautiful track stars

Let’s goooooooo, Syd! 2025! 💛

Sydney ❤❤

SYDNEY ! WEAR THAT CROWN, IT IS YOURS, & YOURS ALONE !! -----------MJL, 78 Y/O

At this point, the only one that could beat Sydney is Sonic the Hedgehog...IF he has all the Chaos Emeralds. Regular Sonic is getting dusted.

She is clearly the best to ever do this hurdle thing ❤❤

The most dominate athlete of all time

is she even tired??

This was a strategic race. McLaughlin saved it on the backstretch while Bol pushed to try to get the lead then deliver her closing speed. But Bol ran out of gas coming off the last turn which is how Cockrell put her away to win silver. Not sure if a change in strategy for Bol would have given her a better race (winning just wasn't in the cards).

All the Femke hype; Sydney and Anna both smoked her.

As in the Tokyo Olympics...the commentators focus is on Bol winning... same outcome Bol came in third .. they put the commentators on suicide watch...then they started with the excuses..her dog had the flu, she had to take her goldfish to it's swimming lessons.. GTFOH

What the commentator said about because Bol was there that was the reason they broke the record... not because she's the best hurdler in history... she needs Bol to help her break the record... still with the Bol crap

This race was amazing and I saw it live on tv

hate to use this comparison but this is Secretariat like...Cockrell is on the ground gasping for air and Sydney looks like she just walked the dog.

Sydney didn't want to wear the crown because she's so humble. She only did it because her family wanted her to. 👑 💖
