I am SO IMPRESSED with our USA Athletes.... Especially Sydney: She is Smooth and Balanced: Mentally, Physically, Spiritually, Joyful, and God Centered!!!!
I feel like Wallace Spearmon asked some damn good questions. I had never heard him interview anyone but he has a unique perspective based on his own success in the sport plus he still seems humble and real. Would like to hear him do more interviews.
Been watching when she first went to Kentucky and then in the Olympics . She’s American Treasure for the sport of track n field . When I was in college the best men were Jim Bolding was running 49’s over the intermediates. Now the world record is 45 something over the hurdles while Sydney ran 50.8 . Incredible
Last year when she ran that 400m and ran the first 200 like a 200m race i said it looks like her coach was testing her to see how competitive she could be over the 200 and someone said i was crazy and don't know track. Now i can know that competing in a 200 in a championship is in her near future.
News flash…Sydney you are great!!! You always honor GOD!!! Can’t wait to see you win the 400 meter hurdles and come back to secure the Gold in the 4x400!!!
Sydney Michelle McLaughlin-Levrone is an American hurdler and sprinter who competes in the 400 meters hurdles. She is the 2020 Tokyo Olympic champion with the Games record, and 2022 World champion with a world record time of 50.68 seconds. Sydney McLaughlin-Levrone's exceptional talents are undoubtedly inherited from her family's athletic background. Her father, Willie, made the 400m semi-finals at the 1984 U.S. Olympic trials. Her mother was a middle-distance runner with older brother Tyler winning 400m hurdles silver at the 2016 IAAF World U20 Championships. However, Sydney has surpassed them all. From the start, it was clear that McLaughlin was on a journey to make history. At 16 and while still at high school, she finished third in the 2016 U.S. Olympic Trials in a new world junior 400m hurdles record of 54.15. That saw her become the youngest American track and field athlete to qualify for the Olympic Games since the boycotted Moscow 1980 Games. McLaughlin made the semi-finals at Rio 2016, but her potential was obvious. After one year at the University of Kentucky, McLaughlin turned professional in June 2018. Just over a year later, she took silver behind Olympic champion Dalilah Muhammad at the Doha World Championships.
How do bye rules work in the Olympics and USATF Olympic Trials? Does McLaughlin-Levrone have a bye in the 400m hurdles at any point as defending Olympic champion or not?
No byes for the US athletes. Top 3 at the trials go to the Olympics as long as they have the Olympic standard or are high enough in the world rankings. Sydney actually had to run a meet in ATL to get the Oly standard for the 400mH because she didn't run the event last year. Now she has to place in the top 3 at trials to go to the Olympics.
The part thats so backwards is wanting kids to watch the sport instead of figuring out what their parents want to see so they introduce the sport to their kids. Football parents etc introduce the sport to their kids.
Sydney's always a riot. She always looks so serious on the track that you'd never know she's a bit of a goofball.
Sydney praying at the end was everything ❤. She’s gonna go real far in life ❤.
🙏
Okay, so she's gonna fo real far because she prays?
Jesus Christ, you believers have a serious bias on how life works...
@@quentinhirschfeld9382 go get help.
She’s gonna go far cause she’s one the best athletes of all time. Not a man made fairytale
May the name of the Lord God, our Great Creator, be forever praised.
Sydney is my absolute favorite Olympian. Such an amazing woman on and off the track. Cant wait to see her win gold in Paris.
She did so easily 🎉
Sydney needs to be known more in this world! Praying in the end is everything! 👏🏾
Sydney's fantastic. 💯💯 "It's what I do, not who I am." This is key.

Wallace used to co-host a sports radio show in Arkansas. He has a lot of time behind the mic.

Amazing, talented, inspirational, and just an Awesome Athlete!
I truly enjoyed this interview. I wish that more people could see this side of Sydney, she is a joy.
Can't wait for the showdown with Femke Bol at the Olympics and I hope she wins.

I really think Sydney ought to take a chance and try out for the 200m at US nationals. Her times are good.
4:00 I'd love to read some of Sydney's poetry!!
Let's make the gummy bear deal happen! 👍

@17:20 just missed the record by 1/10th of a second. But still got the gold.
Amen
15:12 Wallace is lovin' the sauciness. 😆
Good to see Wallace...Whaa Gwaan Wallace?🇯🇲
She looks like the girl from Groove Theory
We need her in the 800 like yesterday
She doesn't run it for a reason. 400 would be a better fit
The part thats so backwards is wanting kids to watch the sport instead of figuring out what their parents want to see so they introduce the sport to their kids. Football parents etc introduce the sport to their kids.
Amen 🙏 ❤😊
Haribo gummy bears 😂
Crazy to think Syd isnt the fastest 400mh Olympic champion over 200m. That'd be Irina Privalova (21.87)
Or that she isn’t the quickest 400m flat runner either… that’ll be Perec 48.25
@@bodystorm Perec faster at 200 too! 21.99
Privalova is a mediocre hurdler.
21:22 fax fax fax
I would love to see her concentrate on the open 400 just to she how low she could take it
I want to see La Cid in a Smoking Aces Two.
She is Holly Wood in spikes.
Someone please cast her.
