That's not an upset. Paulino is best in the world. Her closest competition right now is probably Britton Wilson, although it's unclear whether they'll race each other this year, and if so, when.

[MichaelJohnson-wktk]

This wasn't an upset because Paulino is the best woman 400 meter runner in the world. Sydney has the potential to do great things in the event, but it won't be a piece of cake. Congratulations to done.

Special congratulations to you Sydney McLaughlin for placing second great improvement from you for your first meet👏👏

[irwinrondolp]

Congratulations to you Paulino on your world lead

What’s interesting about this “upset” is that Marileidy’s time in this race was 00.01 slower than that of Miller Uibo’s time when she won the world title in Oregon. Congratulations to Marileidy and much continued success.

Sydney did well. Just needs to get back in shape.

Femke bol 49.26 better than McLAUGHLIN SPECIAL CONGRATULATION TO YOU SYDNEY FOR PLACING AGAIN SECOND 49.71

[dereckdean]

Paulino is obviously the most disciplined of the field. And oops, I almost forgot she is also THE FASTEST.

[SirWavyBrown]

great race from Sydney and way to execute the race strategy!

[hairtoss]

Upset? How can Paulino with the world leading time upset no-time McLaughlin? You got it backwards, dude.

[gdeec]

SML will beat them all once she gets it right. Keeley is also planning to run the 400m, apparently. So will be an exciting event with all the new talent on board.

Marileidy paulino la pusiste a coger humo de tu mofle eres la mejor 🇩🇴🇩🇴🇩🇴🇩🇴

[SR-ojim]

I don’t what y'all expected. Paulino was always the overwhelming favorite going into this race. Sydney was yet to prove herself over the flat 400m, and 49.71 was a respectable time given it's an opener. She'll go much faster by USATF trials or world champs. Naser is coming back from back from a 2 yr ban, so she's still winding into form.

[stevenrodriguez]

What a problem. itis what it is. She wins because she is the best. She has won all the races.

[richardportelli]

Much better for the sport to see close racing, Sydney has nothing left to prove in the 400 hurdles.

[eddiemonesti]

Upsets?😁😁😁. This is not based on Nations " is bases on talent, Speed and resistance. The only reason why you're saying it's an upset, Is because Sidney is from the Us and Paulino from DR. There's no surprise here.

[AdityaThakur-stwf]

I want Salwa Eid Naser to win in Budapest!! It was a long wait to see her in track running through the curves...🥹🥹 She will improve for sure...

[mstk]

Sydney is nothing in flat 400😂. She can't do anything there . She running die hard yesterday, but its not her event ... This is great lesson to those roaring for Sydney easily break 400m WR . she doesn't have endurance to finish within 47 second 😂😂😂😂😂😂.

[jx-dama]

wow what an upset!....stydney still the best! 😊

[SauceKingg]

Should've been DQ she ran over the line on the final curve
