Sydney McLaughlin-Levrone breaks own world record, wins Olympic gold in 400M hurdles | Via: AP

Sydney McLaughlin-Levrone once again broke her own world record, powering over the 400-meter hurdles in 50.37 seconds on Thursday night to defend her Olympic title.

The 25-year-old American has now lowered the world record six times. She was in the lead around the corner and breezed down the home stretch to beat teammate Anna Cockrell by 1.50 seconds.

This was billed as one of the must-see races at the Stade de France, given the rivalry between McLaughlin-Levrone and Femke Bol of the Netherlands. Cockrell crashed the party, with Bol finishing third.

She is just a fantastic specimen, She runs so smoothly, looks like a gazelle. Peak genes at peak performance. Just awe inspiring to look at.

I said it wasn’t no one that could touch Sidney. That she was her own competition

[tolund]

It's Syd's world - but, where is the video of her ringing the bell?

[bbomber]

She’s just the most amazing track and field athlete I’ve ever seen in my lifetime. She broke the world record five times, that’s just insane.

I love watching her running she’s the best

I would like to see Femke beat the 400mH or 400m record.

who did she tell "thats whats up" when she was putting the USA flag on her back???

Why is she going back into semi retirement and is not in the calendar for the diamond league. Is she concerned about passing a drug test.
