Sydney McLaughlin Just Set The Track ON FIRE!! || 2024 Oxy Invite - 200 Meters 

i personally don't mind the showboating. These are extremely difficult sports and it's amazing when an athlete finally sees their hard work pay off.

When did Stormin Norman open up?

@@khumokwezimashapa2245 This wkend at the same Oxy Invitational Meet in Los Angeles.

@@AllInTheGame01 👍

Norman has run this season? Are you sure?

That record will survive. Unfortunately.

​@@relaxchamp I know what you mean. Nobody has really challeged the record before but Syd has what it takes to do it: strength, foot speed, and The Willingness to Run from Gun to Tape, going to the front and not needing a pace setter. You have to be mentally strong to attack 400m the way she does. If anyone can do it, its Syd. But she is the one running, we can only watch and hope.

I really hope so. She walked away from 400m flat the last time and left her fans thinking what could have been at Budapest 2023

That record probably full of eastern block chemicals.

that's if she doesn't pull out like she did last year after a well known LA doctor was arrested for prescribing PEDs to several T and F athletes and was going before a Federal Grand Jury hearing

@@thomaswakefield6889 What is the name of that doctor?

Wasn't it great?! 👍🏼 🌴 Syd looked STRONG!! 🥇

Duh...I didn't know that!

What do you mean by queen? She was good at all kind of races?

​@@minichikimakubex Yes, even long jump... 18'6" as a young freshman and, later, 20'6" without even focusing on it. High jumped 6' in practice, too.

​@@minichikimakubexalso still has an age group 100mH American record.

@@efisgpr i didnt follow her till she got famous tbh, but im glad she is overall good

Even though Bol is good, she is not even close to McLaughlin in the 400M hurdles. McLaughlin 50.68 world record...Bol's fastest is 51.45.

I’m totally excited for Bol&SML to race their tails off. This has been building for some time. Good luck to them both.

@@tranmer32 And McLaughlins 2nd time ever is 51.41...

Bol has never and will never even be a challenge for Syd .

@@efisgpr Bol will destroy mcLaughlin. Go home TROLL.

What's IT factor?

@@relaxchampan unquantifiable trait (or factor) that makes someone more intriguing above their counterparts. If it were to be quantified it would likely be done within the emotional, mental, or moral spheres that are less tangible and thus more difficult to define in words than the physical traits. Making it easiest to quantify that collection of intangible traits simply as an “IT Factor”.

@@Diamondbull ah ok, thanks. Nothing to do with technology. So it's somehow primarily about her look and some inner processes of the viewer. It's not that elusive.

Her 22.39 at 18 is ahead of even Miller-Uibo's age-matched results.

@@efisgpr McLaughlin PB on 100: 11.07 (+3.5 m/s) = around 11.3 or 11.4. Miller Uibo PB on 100m: 10.98. McLaughlin PB 400m flat: 48.74, Miller Uibo: 48.36... (actually same resultscore as Bol's indoor 49.17: 1272)

​​@@ElieWeissenbach-xx1yiTry again. This time, use age-matched results in order to not look stupid. Shaunae by the same age: 11.41. --> *SLOWER THAN SYD.* Shaunae's by the same age: 22.70. --> *SLOWER THAN SYD.* Shaunae's by the same age: 51.25. --> *A LOT SLOWER THAN SYD.* Shaunae also didn't break 49 in the 4 until she was 25. Syd did it younger AND after just a handful of pro 400s. Look, Syd does 10.9, 21.9, 47.9 and 49.9 (400mH) every week in practice. She is faster, more explosive, more versatile and more talented than Shaunae will ever be. Just saw her 22.07 against the wind today. Paulino, Moraa and Miller-Uibo can NOT beat her in any footrace. They've been lucky she was hurdling. Her 400mH time in Eugene was like 1.9 over Shaunae's 400m winning time. She's faster than all of them.

​Shaunae also didn't beat Syd's teenage 200m time until she was 23......easy to see who's faster.

@@efisgpr Bro, try not to look stupid... Have you ever heard of the fact that different people have different development curves and performance curves through time. All this "Age matching" is completely IRRELEVANT. So that was a lot of work for nothing... O and if "Syd" does all these FANTASTIC TIMES every week in practice WHY doesn't she do that in an actual RACE???

I like the fact that Bobby Kersee runs his athletes in races that are not their specialty. They get used to competing again and I think it makes the athletes hungry when they get to their specialty.

​@@davidzuk4894 Interesting take. 👍🏼

Well 47 should definitely be impossible, that's getting into truly elite times even by men's stsndards. 49 though? If anyone can it's her, snd as you say we have no idea what she is truly capable of (beyond already being the 400mh goat)

I think 47 flat is a stretch even for her. But you're right that the bar is higher for her than other athletes, even Femke Bol.

49.9 and 47.9 consistently in practice. 47.6 if pressed is likely.

​@@efisgpryou forgot to mention: she did that several times in a row in jogging shoes.

@@efisgpr Not a chance in hell... She never even came close to her own WR, her 2nd best time is 51.41...🤡

Same !

Thank you so much for stating your preference with such elegance. Stay faithful no matter what comes. Those whom you love deserve to be adored win, lose, or draw.

​@@woodenman1954 faith, love, equals hope to the athletes we love on conditionally. An athlete has one less weight on his or her shoulders when they know they do not have to win their followers all over again race after race 👏 Bravo

They are everyone's favorites😅. I like Gabby Thomas too.

Miss Sydney is actually Mrs. Sydney.

In the 200?

Koch record must go!

Which record?

I see only Femke Bol already breaking records in 2024. This is good but not special more hypetrain.

RU-vid should auto delete comments with the word "like"

Hey didn't you know? She is a chess champion as well! A Womens International Master I believe!

​@@ElieWeissenbach-xx1yi She can ride a unicycle, juggle, is a great dancer and long jumped 20'6" 7 years ago.....but go off, I guess... She'll just keep SMOKING Bol.

yesssss

yup

*YES, IT IS.*

@@efisgpr You are going to HURT bro.

Hardly, Bol ran 22.64 200m indoors three months ago and the fastest ever and first ever

Cant wait! ❤

I thank God that those two have each other. You know Bird and Magic. Ali and Fraser. Rice with a side dish of Sanders hanging off of him. Matter and antimatter. The best things in life come in equal but opposite pairs❤❤

1 hour after winning a 400 m race.

Yeah but Bol's been running the 200 and 400 flat for years. Syd is just now learning how to run flat sprints. In a year or two she's likely to utterly destroy the current 400 WR and maybe even run a sub 22 200. I don't care what she runs this summer, she's just getting started.

​@@TheGreatness-gg1jx WR totally out of reach for her.

​@@relaxchampshe has the potential to run 47.6 which is 3 seconds off her hurdles time

@@jhoncena1111 I will eat a broom, if she'll do sub 48. She's great nevertheless.

There is no 200m relay at the Olympic

Women run the 100 meter hurdles.

Sydney reminds me a lot of Mondo on the men's side in that they both would be gold-medal caliber in the multi-events if they wanted to go that direction

She did 18'6" at 24 and 20'6" at 18. She could be doing 22' by now with 7 more years of strength added. A true athlete. Even a great dancer.

@4partharmony208 It might be a little late in her career but with her strength,competitiveness,and skill set,she could compete in the woman's heptathlon. Javelin and shot put might be a little difficult to master,but I think she would destroy the field in the running events,and do well in n the long jump.

@m.ltucker4314 she wouldn't have to be world-class in everything. Those two events would be the challenge, but she could definitely stay competitive with Thiem, Vidts, and Hall and clobber them everywhere else

Femke was at World Relays in the Bahamas this weekend. Helped qualify the NL for the womens and mixed 4x4.

She'll be well back again 😂

Exactly. They're very delusional.

Then you should learn to read. "The Euro's" don't exist, and nobody denies that McLaughlin has the WR. However on the flat Bol's performances of the last 1.5 year are far more impressive. And McLaughlin's 22.38 with 2.9 windassist (and an hour after running a 100m hurdles) is about equal to Bol's 22.6 indoor and 1 hour after winning a 400 m indoor in 49.69. Those are just the FACTS bro. If you think the facts are delusional, then you are the real delusional one.

@@rientsdijkstra4266 Just watched Sydney run the 200 meters against America's best at the LA Grand Prix. The race had Gabby Thomas Olympic Bronze Medalist, Abby Steiner and Jenna Prandini. These are America's best 200 meter women runners. Sydney won the race handily in 20.08 and the wind was legal. She looks to be in great shape for the Olympic 400m H.

you're comment is about as ignorant as that jackass currently occupying the white house and being a communist dictator and no brains to communicate let alone put words together to be coherent. there's a reason why many 400 m specialists drop down to the 100 and 200 events. they don't have to plan on when to use their afterburners, they can just flat out run 110% from the sound of the gun going off.

I run the 200 meters and it always surprises me when I see a wind reading over the limit and they say it helped the runners when it feels to me like half the time I'm running into the wind. I'd much rather run a 200 meter in no wind than having a tailwind on the straight. What most people don't know is that over 115 meters of a 200 meter race is on the turn and most of that time a tailwind for the straight is a hindrance on the curve.

It's an OPENER 😂. She did 22.39 at 18. This is nothing. Bobby told her to go at 95%. She is good for 21.9...but people will see in 2025....

Truly phenom extraordinaire

Has she decided to do the 400m flat at the Olympics?

She can run anything

Still has an age group record in the 100mH. Also a good leaper. Did 200 in 22.39 at age 18. Does 21.9 in practice. Did 11.07 (+2.1 m/s) at 18, too. Definitely world class in the 1 & 2, just her 400 prowess overshadows it.....for now.

@@efisgpr 🤣🤣🤣 Her recent 200m in 22.38 with 2.9 m/s wind assist is equal to a 22.6. But that is equal to what well known slow starter Femke Bol ran already in februari 2024 in Metz Mozell, 1 HOUR AFTER winning the 400 there. So if she runs 21.9 in practice, then why doesn't she do that in a RACE? 🤡🤡🤡

@@efisgpr O and AGAIN you are WRONG. That 11.07 was with +3.5 m/s Wind Assist (look it up on World Athletics). And why does she still need to have that OLD time on her scorebord? Because there is no newer better one... You are just so FULL OF IT, brother.

@@rientsdijkstra4266 you're pathetic...Why are you so jealous of a 24 yr old woman..?

You want a video on an 11.04 run by a silver medalist in a low key meet. What could he possibly say about that?

​@@kc5466 better than sha carri and accomplish far more fastest woman in 2023 both 100 and 200m Anyway u know how long usa don't win a gold medal or any medal at all in both events 🤣🤣🤣continue hyping with yall 1 achievement Yall are just bias it wasn't a problem to do a 23.11 run by sha carri for 3rd tho or noah 10.01 +1.7 wind after competing indoors Lame and hilarious And it's a 11.03 blow out run BTW Dumbo

@@_JordanWilliams. one achievement? I don’t follow. But what is your problem crying over not getting a video. Don’t Jamaicans have their own RU-vidrs? I’m pretty sure they made a video of shericka. Go there and let your feelings out. Cuz I don’t think anyone here cares to see an 11.04 season opener video

@@kc5466 as if yall athletes done any better 🙄I'm sure most of them open with 11.2 except for Sears and Hobbs Ooh don't worry we been telling our to stop making video about yall faves when yall ones barely wanna do any of ours BTW about of yall love our channels yall never miss a day There's a difference of being in feelings and just speaking facts a obvious point.

Exactly. Syd is just way faster.

Indeed: And Bol ran that 22.64 in februari 1 HOUR after having won a 400 in 49.69 in Metz. And 22.38 + 2.9 m/s wind assist is about equal to 22.6 without wind.

😂 Lemme educate you: Syd did 22.68 indoors ....in 2018. And she's a lot faster now. Also did 22.39 at age 18...ahead of even Miller-Uibo's age-matched results. You were saying? Femke will continue to get *SMOKED* by Syd every time.

​@@ElieWeissenbach-xx1yi rejected: the indoors is far slower than the ourdoors. Your fundamental in your argument is broken. However, I am convinced that SML runs the faster clocking.

@@efisgpr rejected: the indoors is far slower than the ourdoors. Your fundamental in your argument is broken. However, I am convinced that SML runs the faster clocking.

@@horstmueller1000 🤣🤣🤣 You just made a complete FOOL out of yourself bro. Indoor is SLOWER (harder to run with those tight turns on a 200m track) So 22.6 on an indoor track is a lot BETTER than 22.6 on an easier outdoor track. So you just proved that the result for McLaughlin is EVEN WORSE... Please learn basic arithmatic before you say STUPID things? 🤡🤡🤡

Euhm: maybe that should better be another word: "fast"?

She'll continue to leave Bol well back. 🥇

No?

Chill, she did wind-legal 22.39 at AGE 18. This is just an opener. She does 10.9, 21.9, 47.9 and 49.9 (400mH). Almost every week. ...but go off, I guess. 😂 She'll just keep getting *GOLD.*

Sounds like sarcasm don’t take this person seriously LOL.

Looks like another sarcastic, FB fangirl. Y’all are hilarious

@@ImHoNdO For all the shouters in this little conversation: 22.38 +2.9 tailwind is 22.5 to 22.6. Bol ran a 22.64 on an indoor track in februari, 1 HOUR after having won a 400 meter.

😂😂😂😂 😂🤣 NOT GONNA HAPPEN

Your a fan of bol too dont act like that😂​@@efisgpr

Erriyon Knighton is a fierce competitor. I don't think he's being overlooked because his record speaks for itself. For whatever reason Tobogo is the flavor of the month right now. There aren't many that line up in the blocks in a race Knighton is in,knowing they can beat him in the 200m. A couple of channels highlighted him early in the season,haven't heard a whole lot since.

The same She ricks whom she BEAT in a 60? The same Shericka that didn't go sub-22 until SEVERAL YEARS LATER than Abby? ....just checking

@anthonnybrownnn9760 Win or lose Bol ain't dodging nobody. In fact she is not the one who has been missing in action.

​@@vernonfrance2974It's *LOSE.*

@@efisgpr No. Its HURT. for you.

​@@DexterGordon-dr8qd ur responding to a troll mate 😂

@@efisgpr Time will tell but at least she has run an amazing number of races including on relays. Her movement is so smooth she seems to be able to avoid major injuries. Of course, being human, she will obviously tire eventually.

The women's hurdles are a LOT lower and, on top of that, Syd is tall.

And?

Agree! With a weak field its looked better for Syd its like marketing stuff just like selling her book.

22.39 at 18 years old..... wind-legal This is an OPENER....😂 She is way faster than Bol.

Nope

Femke just don’t got it. Especially in the 400 flat outdoors.

COULDN'T BE MORE WRONG. 😂

I believe he meant getting faster after being out for so long...she's building up to peak speed.

@@FourSeasons04 Sydney only races 6 times a year (and only if she knows she can beat the field), that's 10 races less than any other sprint athlete

@@thomaswakefield6889 I believe running fewer races occurred in the last 2-3 which also coincided with her marriage. Once she conquered Dalilah and lowered the WR sub51, there really wasn't a target for her. I don't agree with only running against those she can beat (she was pretty much alone in the hurdles). Last year she lost to Paulino in the 400m, yet she refocused until her injury. She's probably regained motivation for the Olympic year.

@@FourSeasons04 Since you don't agree with only running against those she can beat, why doesn't she enter the 100mh races with athletes like Amusan and the rest of them who run sub-12.6? It's a psychology thing coaches do to build athletes' confidence as they progress throughout the season. Run in lowkey no-name meets until championship season starts. At that point athletes HAVE to race against the REAL competition!

@WheeJones Your comment would make sense if Sydney was training for the 100mh, but she isn't. This is similar preparatory work for the 400mh she and her coach have employed in prior years. Do note, she wasn't always the winner in those races.

Really? FB is known as a slow starter (long legs..) but FB ran a 22.64 indoor in februari this year, only one hour after having run a 400... Now this 22.38 by SML with 2.9 m/s wind assist is really more like a 22.5 to 22.6. So if I were you I would think and calculate a bit better before you make silly comments. Same story to the 12.71 on the 100 m hurdles...

😂😂 This is good nothing special its only hypetrain.

​@@rientsdijkstra4266 She has never even BEEN A CHALLENGE FOR SYD. JUST DEAL WITH IT.

​@@QuamfyMarc Better than Femke ever ran it.....but not wven as good aa 18yo Syd's wind-legal 22.39. JUST WAIT

@@efisgpr Bro, do you really think you can change reality by shouting the same stupid thing a million times? You can shout as much as you will but reality is going to catch you, and then your little game is OVER. O and by the way: mrs McLaughlin only won 2x against Bol (no more!) when Bol was still a novice... But these things CHANGE.
