Queen of the 400m hurdles wins final in a time of 50.37 seconds, rival Bol finishes in third
-
SYDNEY McLaughlinLevrone is targeting more records after cementing her place as the greatest women's 400m hurdler in history with a jaw-dropping defence of her Olympic crown. The 25-year-old American star electrified the Stade de France on Thursday after storming to victory over rival Femke Bol in a new world record of 50.37sec. sixth time McLaughlin-Levrone has bettered the world record since 2021, when she ran 51.90sec to break Dalilah Muhammad's mark of 52.16sec. McLaughlin-Levrone believes given how rapidly the record has progressed, sub-50 is achievable.
"I think this is an event that wasn't very popular, but we've made it very popular very quickly," she said. The emphatic nature of the win suggested that McLaughlin-Levrone, who wore a sparkling tiara on her lap of honour, is poised to reign over her event for years to come.
