The craziest thing about this race is that Sydney is still chopping some of her steps and her hurdling technique still needs work. Imagine how fast she will run when she puts it all together.
Boy oh boy you too is this a channel for people who, maybe you are confused certainly was not having a . conversation with you please go somewhere else. If you reply it tells me you just want some attention who ever you are,wrong person you looking to for it.
Sometimes after a win like that you walk away from the track with a bit of an ego but your legs and heart rate just wont listen lol so you find the most calming and nonchalant way to sit down and pretend that lactic did not just send you to another dimension.
Mohola Chepkoech Sydney McLaughlin does a good job acting like the lactic acid doesn't bother her after a 400m. Unlike this anchor of a 4x400 who couldn't pull that off, ha ha ha - ua-cam.com/video/Qh1uuO4zFkg/v-deo.htmlm29s
I've been watching her races since 2015. The amount of improvement over the 400 meter Hurdles from her senior year to now is HUGE. She's still choppy but she's NOT as choppy as she use to be. I'm bet she will be the 400 meter Hurdles Olympic champion 2020.
Don't know what other records she will set but I'm excited over her 52.75 sec time especially when I realize the world record is 52.34 by Yuliya Pechonkina in 2003. This young talent is gonna' have a record to hang on her wall soon if she remains healthy.
Wow...Wow...Wow....!!!This young lady is the future of the 400 metres hurdles...The World Record will surely go to her soon, if not this year then next year. The next huge star of Track and Field for sure. The camera loves her too, beautiful looking, so pretty...:)
Unreal! Anyone else think she will own the world record in the open 400m, 200m and 400 hurdle within like 3 years? Heck she might even knock out the 400 hurdle world record this year 🤔
Financial Education Sydney should break the 400m hurdles world record. But the world records for 400m and 200m? Very unlikely. Those records were set in the 1980's when most of the top women sprinters were downing performance enhancing drugs like a kid downs candy on Halloween.
WRs as Dan said are 21.34 and 47.60. Seems like a massive long shot, but if she runs those times, she'd certainly be able to run close to FloJos 100m record, and then perhaps Kendra Harrison's record in the 100m hurdles just based off that raw speed. I imagine she can run in the mid 48s, and maybe match Allison Felix's 21.6 in the 200. I think she might be able to eventually go sub 50 in the 400 hurdles though...
I don't think she will sniff the world record in the open 400m and certainly not the open 200m. Her strength is in her hurdle finish and being able to maintain strides. She is more Edwin Moses than a pure sprinter.
Furthermore I saw what I believe were likely doped up runners: Marita Koch, East Germany, run 47.6 seconds, faster than many men can run today. I don't believe Jarmila Kratochilova 800 meters, 1:53.28 seconds or Flo Jo's times 10.49 seconds 100 meters, 21.34 seconds 200 meters either. Flo Jo's times would knock off many buff young high school runners today.
Man, I wonder if this girl can still do this with competition breathing down her neck. She still needs to work on her form on the back straight, but she has so much upside in the 400m hurdles. Every time I see her race in this event, she improves.
Josh Li: Yes, I agree. And I expect it to go at the NCAA Finals. She will have worked out the obvious kinks in her race by then. Meanwhile, this young woman is not playin' around people. No sir, no ma'am.
Globetrotting Dan: No pressure, but I EXPECT nothing less. I am also going to try and go myself. It's going to be lit.! Especially with the finals being held on Oregon's lightning-fast track. May the Lord have mercy on those souls who are mere pretenders to Ms McLaughlin's throne. Look out!
I've been saving as many of this babe's videos as possible. I want to look back years later and see her progression over time. Sydney is a once- in- a generation athlete. It's a privilege to watch her run. I hope she stays level-headed because she will most likely be the golden girl of track and field. (Let's remember she hasn't won any senior world or Olympic gold medal yet 😉)
Denise Bacon Yeah...but truly dominant sprinters/runners go pro at age 18 and skip college (Allyson Felix, Noah Lyles). Dominant college sprinters often fhave less than inpressive pro careers (Xavier Carter, Kerron Clement, Dawn Sowell, Kimberlyn Duncan).
christansdad - What you wrote is completely backwards. 90% of top high school sprinters from the United States run at least one year in college. It's actually very rare for a high school sprinter to skip college completely. All these sprinters in the 100m - 400m went to college and then had impressive pro careers - Carl Lewis, Leroy Burrell, Maurice Green, Justin Gatlin, Michael Johnson, Jeremy Wariner, LaShawn Merritt, Kerron Clement, Angelo Taylor, Christian Coleman, Gwen Torrence, Gail Devers, Tori Bowie, Carmelita Jeter, Sanya Richards-Ross, to name a few.
Globetrotting Dan Other than Carl Lewis and Christian Coleman I wouldn't call any in your list dominant. Listing a lot of sprinters/runners and listing dominant sprinters/runners (worldwide...not just the United States) are two different things. My contention stands.
christansdad - OK, prove your contention. List all of the great US sprinters in the 100m, 200m or 400m who DIDN'T run in college. You've listed a grand total of TWO (including one who hasn't won anything significant as a pro). Who in the United States besides Alyson Felix hasn't run in college but was dominant at the pro level? Can you even name 5 people? how about 3 people? The FACT is that the vast majority of US sprinters DO run in college. It's not an opinion, it's a provable fact.
Now six years later -> 2x Olympic Gold Medalist in this event (plus 2 more in the 4x400m relay) World Champion in 2022, and current WR holder at 50.37 having broken it 6x since 2021. Amazing athlete
Her time at 14... ...a skinny young (even for 9th grade)... .....just having started the 400mH that season..... STILL would've won this race by like 40m... **INCREDIBLE***
Come 2020, the premiere track and swimming stars of the Olympics are going to come from the SEC (McLaughlin and Caeleb Dressel of Florida) They’re each going to smash the world records.
That's a phenomenal time. Since 2011, only one other person has run faster - 52.64 (Dalilah Muhammad) in Sacramento in 2017. Sydney's time is the 13th fastest in history by a woman: www.alltime-athletics.com/w_400hok.htm
Interesting look at the other times. No doubt she drug the other runners with her. Qualifiers who ran 58 ran 56 and 57 and the one person who had the 60.31 fell .. so basically she pulled the entire field with her. Great talent and I hope she is able to keep it up.
Financial Ed says she can break the 200/400 World Records. I don't think she will ever run under 47.60 or 21.3, (although her rate of progression keeps surprising me) but the 400mH record is going to be hers before long ... yes, maybe this year but certainly before long unless something happens to her. She has taken 1.8 seconds of her 400m PB from last year and now has taken over 1.0 sec. off her 400mH PB. If she takes 1.8 sec. off last year's 400mH PB then she runs 51.9!. The WR is only 0.4 seconds away now. What a perfect race she ran. Soon she will be running 14 strides for part of the race and 15 at the end .. .then it's 51.9!! I can't believe I'm saying that ... a woman running under 52.00 for 400mH. She is amazing.
You obviously know your hurdling! At 2022 Worlds she ran 14 strides to the 7th hurdle, and 15 after that. I don't think anyone else can even do this pattern - Muhammad uses 14 to just the 2nd and 3rd hurdles, but I don't know of any others...
Because it's the Championships. Sorry when it comes to the Championships it's about the team. She could have easily taken the 2 or the 4 and cake walked the 400 hurdles. But I guess the coach wasn't thinking win the Championship. Just my thoughts. btw 52.75 would have got her 5th in the 400 flat lol. I 'm not sure but are the NCAA Outdoor Champs based on times from Div. Champs or OD track season? If it is based on champs then Kentucky just limited her to the 400h. If it's based on the outdoor season then I digress and will assume the coach ditched the division and saved them for the NCAA's and in that case give him a raise...if it works lol.
NCAA Champs are based on the time AND place; only the top 16 in each event are invited. She clearly is in the top 16 in the 200/400/400H. She's been running the 200/400 combo from the indoor season, so she's race sharp for those, but this was only her 3rd hurdle race for the season. Also, if she recall, she stated from last year, she had NO intentions on running the 400H at all her freshman year. But since her times in all her events have been off the charts, I guess they wanted to go get the 400H record sooner than they expected.
Dajo Sco Sydney wasn't supposed to run the 400m hurdles at all this year, but Sydney recently told her coach that she wanted the college record in the 400m hurdles before she goes pro. So he let her not run 2 races at the SEC Championships in order to focus on just breaking the 400m hurdles record. And now that she has the record, I expect her to go pro this summer. And of course, the coach expects Sydney to keep him as her coach when she is a pro.
Good question recently a former Spanish athlete made the point that the testosterone level among sprinters are as higher or even higher than those for the events singled out by the IAAF, she said she could see the US hand in the rule.
She looks pretty normal to me. Doesn't look anything like those Eastern European women of the 80's. Her development and progression and physique seem natural. Let's hope so.
Bo Rood Sydney McLaughlin is the most popular college runner. And she also has the most followers of any college runner on social media. So I would have to say that actually lots of people do care and do follow.
Bo Rood Yet this video of Sydney running the 400m hurdles at the SEC Championships has MORE views than any other individual race at the SEC Championships. Soooo, it turns out that people actually DO like watching her run the 400m hurdles. Maybe YOU don't like it, which is your prerogative, but that is completely different than your incorrect claim that "No one care about or follows."
Globetrotting Dan No one cares about this event at the next level. Name one 400 hurdle star. What's that? You can't, because there isn't one. Girls only do this event because they are too slow for the 400. They only do the 400 because they are too so for the 100.
The craziest thing about this race is that Sydney is still chopping some of her steps and her hurdling technique still needs work. Imagine how fast she will run when she puts it all together.
15 steps through 8 hurdles and then 16 steps for the last 2 looked very smooth to me.
Globetrotting Dan
Only like 0.4 off the WR and a lot of room for improvement. Just ridiculous!
chopped at least four hu7rdles at world's yet ran 52.2. Scary.
@@MarcusBornman-xf6qj yea this year she went 14 then 15 the rest of the way
She just ran 51.46 at Tokyo 💥💥
I just realized that Sydney's time of 52.75 would have won both the 2016 Olympics and the 2017 World Championships. Yikes!
No sense in that comparison.

why didnt she run 4 and 2 also?

Why? After a performance like that, she don't need to kill herself running to many races. Besides, you don't need how much that race took out of her.
