None of this is fair to Bol. She’s being pushed as a rival to Syd. She’s never beat Syd or come close. Shes not on her level. No one is. Sydney is a generational athlete. Platforms promote Shacarri and Noah, but Sydney is the Olympic headliner. She breaks records, and closes the show. I’ve been watching her run since high school at the Penn Relays. Then on to Kentucky. The last vision on the track will be her crossing the finish line first with the baton in the 4x400 relay. She’s the 🐐
@Keeks1983 many people do know who Sydney is. She has pretty much the same IG followers as Noah. There's nothing wrong with how much they cover Noah and Shacarri. They're the most outspoken athletes and at the top of their events. Shacarri beat both shelly and Jakko at Budapest. Noah beat everyone at Budapest and in the 100 at Paris. Why do you think track athletes need to always break WRs to be talked about?
It’s because the 100 and 200 are the premier races. But Sydney has made everyone pay attention to the 400m hurdles. I started paying attention when Dalilah won gold. The spotlight was on the 100 hurdles.
Gabby stepped up her game she was one of the stars of this Olympics. However In Japan Sydney was one of the few that one gold so I think she is more known still.
@@monochrome493 god forbid he messed up on details of a race from 40 yrs ago when he was a kid 🤣🤣🤣 The way he breaks down the phases and techniques is pretty impressive
Sydney blew out Olympic 200m gold medalist Gabby Thomas at the LA Grand Prix before the Olympic trials. When dude as if she would run the 200m at the trials and possibly the Olympics her response was “oh no, I’m just running it now to get in some speed work”. WTH!!! She runs the 200m just for practice and blows out the best 200m runner in the world. UNREAL!!!!! Syd is next level and hasn’t come near tapping into her full potential. It would be a challenge but she could be a world champ in the 200m, 400m, 400m Hurdles and maybe more.
@@UltiMac223 She's smart restricting herself. Maybe if she feels when it's the right time she might give it a try. But I'm not sure. I can't imagine running so many 400s with the heats and the final at such a high level at a meet.
Thanks for supporting track and field. And Big Congrats to Syd, Anna, and Bol. Bol has split a 47 in the mixed relays. I would say her foot speed is there but Syd. Is working on EVERY area of the 400mh such as the short hurdles, running 100s 200s 400s. This is where she is out beating her competitors. I think nerves def got the best of Bol but hey the race is over and it is what it is. Also I agree it’s not a rivalry. Again thanks for talking about track!!!
Totally agree. It's not a rivalry, with all due respect to the great Femke Bol. SML works at so many different levels/races. Was still in awe when Syd smoked a field of talented 200 runners (including the great Gabby) earlier in the season.
@@24Djsonic exactly. I saw Syd run the 4 at the NY Grand Prix. She smoked them. She’s literally putting in the work to break down the event so that she can put together a master race and it’s working.
To be fair to Femke, she had ran plenty of races prior to this event, and her CNS was prob fried on the 400 hurdle finals. Still think Syd would have won either way, but that wasn't the best Bol can do.
@@andyy361 Agreed....she burnt a huge match in that mixed relay. Either way Bol is NEVER run within a 1/2 second of Sydney's record....that's 7 or 8 meters to catch up to... Not gon happen.
@classicamericanoldman1091 I was merely trying to shed light on Bol as a world-class 400 runner and hurdler. She and Sydney are the best in the world, then there's everybody else. It's annoying to see when an American wins to denigrate the greatness of other competitors.
@@andyy361 Sydney is the BEST in the last 5 years...BY FAR....that's a fact. 6 times breaking the world record, and AT least a 1/2 second fast than Bol has only run ONCE. It's not close dude... You can say top 2 all you want but SHE LOST and got 3rd after all the "rivalry" talk. Again if facts hurt you... or you don't like reality of the VAST chasm between these 2 competitors.. I don't care. I'm not degenerating Bol...by any means. She won bronze. She's top 3. ...BTW...if /when Sydney races her in the flat 400...you gon shed more tears.
@@classicamericanoldman1091 that’s not true bout Bol never running within half a second. The WR Sydney set before the Olympics was 50.65. Bol’s personal best that she ran right after that is 50.95. They’re the only two women to have ever ran below 51 seconds
No they don’t. Someone from Cuban can talk about it. No one is stopping Cubans from highlighting their Olympic athletes. Why is it black Americans job to talk about a Cuban athlete?
@@charlesirby1643 they spent half this clip talking about Letsile Tebogo... he's from Bostwana, yours is obviously are a reactive and uninformed post. have a nice day.
Femke Bol ain’t no slouch, but Sydney is on a whole nother level! And she crushed it today on her 4x400 leg! The whole team did their thing. Go girls go!
Shannon if ESPN and other networks covered the Olympics with the same intensity as football baseball during the Olympics season, the will ve a lot more sponsors for athletes. There was no one out there for track and field from espn. Not Windy for basketball. Someone for track and field.
@@kingman21d That's not the only event in the Olympics. Shannon only covering Basketball and Track that's all. Espn already has Stephen A & others covering Olympic Basketball already.
Femke couldn't view this as just another race when you know you had the GOAT on the track. When Sydney passed Femke, it caused whatever energy she had to leave her body. She faded to third and the other women were closing on her as well.
@kennethjohnson8570 She was definitely more disappointed in her time than in her place I think. She obviously can go sub 48 in open 400s. I just wanted to see her compete because she has always had a great kick at the end. That happened last year at the worlds when in the semifinals, despite them going on to beat the Americans in the Finals of that Mixed 4x400, the American woman passed her and she slipped and lost her balance but still finished in 2nd place. IN long distance running, we get used to running in packs and running on the track side-by-side and front-to-back, but sprinters aren't really used to being closed in with one lane used. She just wasn't used to the big lights this time around and started really tightening up the last 50. Not something she usually does. She's known to be a great closer in the last 40 meters, but if Sydney and Michael Cherry were in that Mixed 4x400 final, instead of Andrew Norwood who messed that first leg up for the US team and then Bryce Deadmon had to get them back in it, if it were the men ending it, then he would've won them the gold. They would've broken the record again, too if they had Syd and Michael Cherry, who at 29 is still running consistent low 44s in the 4x400.
Femke is a far better flats runner. Her 400m flat time PB rivals Sydney and is only short Sydney's PB by less than half a second iirc. Bol is a beast on flats.
She such a class act. Always giving thanks to the most high. Here sincere gratitude has brought her to the highest level of sports. What a wonderful girl.
Damn Unc! Your range of indepth knowledge of many multiple sports outside of your own is IMHO Legendary👍🏿💯✌🏿🔥💪🏿💙. Tebogo is the First African to win the 200m. There is a photo I believe from Berlin or London where actual lightening struck and a photographer caught the shot with Bolt in it❤
She cried immediately following that race. She was shocked to have her race collapse and get 3rd behind Anna Cockrell who she’s consistently beaten in the past . I think faster times coming from Femke. Will she beat Sydney? I don’t think so but it’s not impossible. Delilah used to beat Syd once upon a time.
@@FourSeasons04 good point. Syd's 7th and 8th hurdles are her strongest. That's when others start to really slow up, but she stays low and continues to accelerate on landing. She's incredibly powerful. Even across the line she's still on the gas. It wasn't a trot. She was still pushing across the line.
Everybody seems to forget Flo Jo did what Usain Bolt did first she did it in the 1988 Olympics in the 100m & 200m she broke Olympic 100m record at 10:54 then they claimed winddated so they said 10:62 then in the 200m she broke the 200m Olympic record & world record then she broke her Olympics & world record she had just set in the 1988 Olympics by running the 21:34 in the 200m final
Love the show but one correction, Femke tried to stay with Syd over the first 200 and that caused her to fade to 3rd. She knew that she had to stay with Syd or had no chance, so she went for Gold or almost nothing because of her drive to win gold. Got to respect that.
Speed kills. Femke Bol tried to force the pace, but Sydney was just too fast to be affected by Femke’s best efforts at forcing the pace. Femke and Sydney are like Justin Gatlin and Usain Bolt. On most nights, Sydney is going to win. Congrats to Anna Cockrell, she ran with a lot of heart and beat every other country’s champion (Wow).
@@revertedrf978 he lost the 2011 world championship and the Jamaican Olympic trials before the 2012 games. The word was he was partying and basking in his glory instead of training. He admitted after winning both races that he didn’t lock into his Olympic training until 3 weeks before the games.
I hope that the two of ya'll are successful with your Podcast. I liked you both as football players, and I think your content and guests are great! You kept me interested, I ended up watching quite a few, and subscribed! Best of luck!
There is NO rivalry between Syd and Bol. In order for there to be even remote talk of a rivalry, Bol has to actually win against Sydney. And that AIN'T happening. No disrespect to Bol. She's a great runner, but unfortunately for her, she exists in the same space and time as Sydney, who is a once in a lifetime athlete in her discipline.
I was there, when Glen ran...OchoNo! Her Majesty Sydney Mac for the Crown! 👑 How about the beautiful Ms. Cockrell swiping First from the rest of the runners! 🥈Can't remember if I've ever seen Femke cry. Prodajay!
Sydney is a force of nature. Her male counterpart, Rai Benjamin is a superstar, too. As far as sprint events, Grant Holloway is by far my favorite to watch.
Exactly! Micheal Johnson is changing the game. We need better marketing and with the athletes US has on deck should be able to accomplish better sponsors and viewers. We need better…
When Buster Douglas beat Mike Tyson, he had just lost his mom. When you're competing with a dead loved one on your mind, ain't nobody can touch you. Something supernatural comes into play.
The olympics needs to be reformed. Not only does it harm the local area, the local people, but it underpays the athletes. Everyone loses except the companies
Flo jo ran 400m then drop to 200m & 100m & set records in 200m & 100m Flo jo did it first in the 1988 Olympics. She didn't run the 400m in the Olympics. She had already stop the 400m she started there in her career. She did run the 4×400 relay they took silver
Unc is correct about Bobby, Alyson Felix, who was coached by Bobby as well, said the actually race is much easier than her practices with Bobby; so when she would win, she was prepared
Did y’all see the 4x400? Did y’all see what she put on the EVERYBODY as the second leg. Good lord. She’s getting to that place where she’s not racing other people - she’s running to top herself. She makes me proud watching how she puts her thing down.
Love Unc but he gotta chill on Bol. Femke is a top 2 400mh. She definitely let the pressure get to her, but it was always gonna take something heroic to beat Syd.
Kenny is my favorite of our male athletes. It's been great to see him continue to climb the world rankings over the last few years. He did unfortunately cost us in the 4x100.
The 400m distance for both hurdles and flat is the perfect race to measure an athlete’s speed, power and will. The fact that these runners are literally sprinting around that track at 100% is hard to describe to non-runners…go out to your local track and imagine being able to run 100% around that long distance. Then try it…if you can last half that distance ur in decent shape…
12:10 There's several companies that sponsor track & field, like Lowe's, Oakley, Omega, P&G, Toyota, Visa and etc. It's up to the agents to make those deal happen for their clients.
@@cbarnes011 Maybe Grant should take some notes. Noah started a UA-cam channel and elevated his fashion before he had many of his sponsors. He didn’t wait for them to show interest in him; he did what he could to create interest around himself.
@@yellowlac I don’t think many competitors like the “Lyles method”. It’s almost like selling out, especially if it’s not one’s personality. That’s why the guy that won the 200 made that comment and Kenny smirked. Before Bolt, that wasn’t a requirement for sponsorship. I think it’s Bolt’s personality, Lyles is putting on.
@@cbarnes011 I agree. It’s selling out, if it’s not your personality. It’s less about Bolt and more about tech & consumer behavior. Before Bolt, social media wasn’t HUGE and fans didn’t mind the mystique of celebrities/athletes. Now, fans want all access and we have the tech to provide it (social media, UA-cam, camera phones, etc). The sponsors know this too. My agent buddy, said that now sponsors always ask about the athletes’ “social reach” and “fan engagement” when evaluating potential sponsorships. So, Grant & others have to evolve/innovate if they want those sponsorship dollars.
I don’t think it was the pressure that got to Bol, her confidence and fight was destroyed. Syd took a piece of her in that race. I hope she can bounce back.
Sydney long jumped over 20 feet in HS, she has short sprint speed and her lungs are made of endless breath cuz her stamina is next level😅💪🏾Syd can long jump, run the 200m, 400m, 400mH, and I think if she trained, she could beat Athing in the 800m. So proud of her, she gets endorsements cuz she’s blessed by the Heavenly Father to whom she gives all the praise🙏🏾🙏🏾
That 400m women's hurdles event is a lock until McLaughlin-Levrone hands it back. She wins by streets and the world record continues to tumble. She has no rival other than who she was yesterday.
I am glad they are talking about track, and Syd is the goat, and big props to Anna. Bol, however, ran the mixed 4x4 and had to go sub-48 to come back for her country. She was not fresh, that way too many 400 for anyone. Again, Sydney the goat, she was winning either way, but I would have loved to see Bol with fresh legs.
Syd's legs should be tired. Not from running... but from STANDING ON BUSINESS!!

@@cyberft He lost in 2011 because of a false start. Also he had Yohan Blake on his ahh 😂
The lactic acid buildup wasn’t nerves but trying to keep up with Syd, Femke got run into the ground.
The take I’ve been waiting for! What a pleasure watching Sydney run❤❤❤❤❤
Sydney McLaughlin Levrone Jersey's Finest ✨🐐✨ US Hurdler's know she's been destined for this... 49. Is coming. She stuttered at hurdle 7
SYD is a URP!!! Unidentified Running Phenomenon!!!!
Thanks for covering track Unc!🎉
Preach Ocho! Give and I’ll give it back to you. Press down….etc. All the times it don’t mean money!!
You reap what you sow….seed time and harvest
I hope that the two of ya'll are successful with your Podcast. I liked you both as football players, and I think your content and guests are great! You kept me interested, I ended up watching quite a few, and subscribed! Best of luck!
There is NO rivalry between Syd and Bol. In order for there to be even remote talk of a rivalry, Bol has to actually win against Sydney. And that AIN'T happening. No disrespect to Bol. She's a great runner, but unfortunately for her, she exists in the same space and time as Sydney, who is a once in a lifetime athlete in her discipline.
I was there, when Glen ran...OchoNo! Her Majesty Sydney Mac for the Crown! 👑 How about the beautiful Ms. Cockrell swiping First from the rest of the runners! 🥈Can't remember if I've ever seen Femke cry. Prodajay!
This man said “foldeth” 😂
Sydney’s only rival is Sydney.
Sydney is a force of nature. Her male counterpart, Rai Benjamin is a superstar, too. As far as sprint events, Grant Holloway is by far my favorite to watch.
Exactly! Micheal Johnson is changing the game. We need better marketing and with the athletes US has on deck should be able to accomplish better sponsors and viewers. We need better…
When Buster Douglas beat Mike Tyson, he had just lost his mom. When you're competing with a dead loved one on your mind, ain't nobody can touch you. Something supernatural comes into play.
I love how much these fellas talk track
Anna is Femke rivalry. Sydney is her own competition!
She made the Olympic Team at 16 Unc
yup.
I think she mightve turned 17 during the olympics and thats what he is getting mixed up.
Sydney reminded me of The Terminator. There's no stopping her.
I can't wait for the podcast on the relays here..
Unc and Ocho didn't think this many athletes would be breaking records 😭
Sydney has done our McLaughlin family proud! More to come in 2028! Look for under 50 in the hurdles in a couple of years! MCLAUGHLIN'S RULE!
The olympics needs to be reformed. Not only does it harm the local area, the local people, but it underpays the athletes. Everyone loses except the companies
They are doing this for the glory of being an Olympian and gold. It'll never change. "Bread and circuses" look up what that phrase means.
Flo jo ran 400m then drop to 200m & 100m & set records in 200m & 100m Flo jo did it first in the 1988 Olympics. She didn't run the 400m in the Olympics. She had already stop the 400m she started there in her career. She did run the 4×400 relay they took silver
Unc is correct about Bobby, Alyson Felix, who was coached by Bobby as well, said the actually race is much easier than her practices with Bobby; so when she would win, she was prepared
I feel like Syd can run the 100-800 and win every damn one.
Common Unc! Danny Harris beat him in Madrid in 1987 to break his streak. Awesome track coverage and enthusiasm bruh!
Man I was hoping that she would run sub 50 but I’m happy she won
Did y’all see the 4x400? Did y’all see what she put on the EVERYBODY as the second leg. Good lord. She’s getting to that place where she’s not racing other people - she’s running to top herself. She makes me proud watching how she puts her thing down.
Congrats Sydney ,🥇
Nijel Amos was the 800 runner from 2012 Botswana
3:08 Sharpie going in!
Sydney is blowing out people like Flojo did and people try to say that Flojo used steroids what a joke 😂
Been waiting on this!
I want Chad “Ochocinco” Johnson glasses!
Love Unc but he gotta chill on Bol. Femke is a top 2 400mh. She definitely let the pressure get to her, but it was always gonna take something heroic to beat Syd.
Sometimes you can run soo fast, you can feel like your feet and legs are off the ground.
Love the Spider-man/Sinister Six shirt Unc
Don't forget abut Kenny Benarek 🎉❤
Kenny is my favorite of our male athletes. It's been great to see him continue to climb the world rankings over the last few years. He did unfortunately cost us in the 4x100.
Grant should have sponsors idk how he ain’t marketable his personality and performances would show he us
The 400m distance for both hurdles and flat is the perfect race to measure an athlete’s speed, power and will.
The fact that these runners are literally sprinting around that track at 100% is hard to describe to non-runners…go out to your local track and imagine being able to run 100% around that long distance.
Then try it…if you can last half that distance ur in decent shape…
12:10 There's several companies that sponsor track & field, like Lowe's, Oakley, Omega, P&G, Toyota, Visa and etc. It's up to the agents to make those deal happen for their clients.
And he quietly saying “Lyles getting them deals, where mine?”
@@cbarnes011 Maybe Grant should take some notes. Noah started a UA-cam channel and elevated his fashion before he had many of his sponsors. He didn’t wait for them to show interest in him; he did what he could to create interest around himself.
@@yellowlac I don’t think many competitors like the “Lyles method”. It’s almost like selling out, especially if it’s not one’s personality. That’s why the guy that won the 200 made that comment and Kenny smirked. Before Bolt, that wasn’t a requirement for sponsorship. I think it’s Bolt’s personality, Lyles is putting on.
@@cbarnes011 I agree. It’s selling out, if it’s not your personality. It’s less about Bolt and more about tech & consumer behavior. Before Bolt, social media wasn’t HUGE and fans didn’t mind the mystique of celebrities/athletes. Now, fans want all access and we have the tech to provide it (social media, UA-cam, camera phones, etc). The sponsors know this too. My agent buddy, said that now sponsors always ask about the athletes’ “social reach” and “fan engagement” when evaluating potential sponsorships. So, Grant & others have to evolve/innovate if they want those sponsorship dollars.
Shannon they put you Ocho on Fox1 and Paul 👍🏾👏🏾🙏🏾
I don’t think it was the pressure that got to Bol, her confidence and fight was destroyed. Syd took a piece of her in that race. I hope she can bounce back.
Olympics in 4 years gonna be 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
14:18 I agree with Ocho here. Personality is important too.
Was hoping for a seperate video on the Mens 200M race....
Beautiful thumbnail 👑 ⭐️🥇
Edwin Moses won 122 consecutive races. Mo’ house grad😉
I was the in person. Sydney just looks different from everyone else.
Preach Ocho
Sydney long jumped over 20 feet in HS, she has short sprint speed and her lungs are made of endless breath cuz her stamina is next level😅💪🏾Syd can long jump, run the 200m, 400m, 400mH, and I think if she trained, she could beat Athing in the 800m. So proud of her, she gets endorsements cuz she’s blessed by the Heavenly Father to whom she gives all the praise🙏🏾🙏🏾
What Unc has to realize that Carl Lewis and Michael Johnson did have charisma! So they didn't have to talk alot, they still had "it"!
Sydney once had an actual rival, but that was Delilah Muhammad…until it wasn’t.
A extra $75000 is coming her way
That 400m women's hurdles event is a lock until McLaughlin-Levrone hands it back. She wins by streets and the world record continues to tumble. She has no rival other than who she was yesterday.
Pay that lady her $$$ !
I am glad they are talking about track, and Syd is the goat, and big props to Anna. Bol, however, ran the mixed 4x4 and had to go sub-48 to come back for her country. She was not fresh, that way too many 400 for anyone. Again, Sydney the goat, she was winning either way, but I would have loved to see Bol with fresh legs.
They said even if everybody else would’ve ran with no hurdles she still ran fast enough to beat them while hurdling 😂 mf BEAST
Can we applaud UNKS track scholarship👏🏽
