Sydney McLaughlin Runs Her SIXTH Sub-52 400m Hurdles, Runs 51.68! 

I've been following track for over 30 years. I remember following Bolt since 2006 when he was not famous. I will say this. Mcloughlin just like Bolt is a prodigy. No question about it.

Being able to average 51 means she's living on another realm of existence right now within her sport. Her stride and technique is just too good.

Everything else dying on the floor while 3 or more seconds behind her while she's relaxed barely breathing heavy after jogging one of the top 10 performances of all time. She's a special athlete we may never see someone like her again.

Sydney is a must see every time she steps on the track! So fun!

"Science Fictional running from the American". Greatest description I've ever heard. 🤣🤣👋👋👋 Sydney's going around claiming all meet records before she switches to the 400 open. She's gone full Dream Team mode with the competition wanting to take pictures with her. And she's so cool and unphased by it. Gotta love her. America's Finest.

The beautiful, talented, amazing, powerful, graceful artistry of Sydney McLaughlin does it with poise and ease!

Sydney just put in a practice run….amazing!

Sydney didn't even break a sweat! She's otherworldly! We love you Sydney! It is so sweet to take a picture with the Hungarian champion. She looks like you made her day.

Truly HEAD AND SHOULDERS above the competition. This is a great era in track and field. Sydney is out here like Edwin Moses

Ms. McLaughlin is giving us FloJo style, grace, elegance and absolute dominance out there! Great Good Luck to her for her incredible future.

She looked SO relaxed and at peace!

Man....I love Sydney, such a class act. Absolutely amazing and she's so humble 👏🏾 Great job Janieve && Rush Clayton #TeamJA #We'reProud 🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲

Every other athlete was smiling during their introduction at the beginning. Not McLaughlin, just purely focused and locked in. And that is why she performs so consistently well.

He who honors me, I will honor them. What an amazing woman

Doesn't make any sense that she makes it look so easy... just can't fathom how incredible she is. And lady (commentator) please -- she didn't look any different from what she looked like right before she tears up the track...it's called focus!

LMAO that announcer is ridiculous, Syd always looks inTENSE! Love the close up on the pyramid spikes

She just seems to glide through the track, so effortless, unreal. She's also very beautiful. A treat to watch.

When she was a child, she broke world records for her age group every year, and today she continues! She also holds the world record for the 400 flat for the under 18s!

She is amazing. She makes it look easy.

The announcer doesnt know what she is talking about. Syd is always looking very intense at the start before the gun goes off. It's nothing new. I've been watching her since she was 16 when she busted out on the world stage like a shooting star. It makes me nervous watching her stand there before the gun goes off swaying back and forth like that with her focused zoned out look trying to block it all out. Once the gun goes off she is smooth and relaxed as silk. Watching her in that quick sway with that focused expression trying to block out her nerves makes me nervous as hell. If I had to gamble I would guess she follows some type of strict mental routine to block out a bad case of pre race jitters or stage fright. Once the gun goes off she is fine.

How is Sydney ranked #2 in the world? WTF. She looks like she is out for a leisurely jog, so graceful. She is the queen of this event.

Her focus pre race is amazing!

Smooooth. Love her stride. Looks so effortless but I know it is not. Beautiful run, Sydney!

Sydney always looks serious during the lane announcements.

Amazing grace, amazing stamina, amazing beauty. Love watching her run!!!

So much grace from all the athletes, absolutely love it!!!

Super beast mode. A lot of people yard sprinting good but no setting records but Syd is running a much tougher event and set records 5 out of the last 5 races! Now that’s the most talented runner in the world and her hurdle time is faster than the top 400m women runners and her 400m relay anchor leg was under a second faster than Uibo’s winning 400m time at Worlds a month ago. Jamaica keep boasting about running PB’s but haven’t broken any records but Syd is clearly running a much tougher race with hurdles and destroying records. Let’s celebrate this champion properly. The best part about Syd’s performances is that she isn’t verbally talking about not getting respected enough by the organizers or complaining about her sponsors. Syd just kicking ass and she daring anyone, of any country to come get that smoke!

Syd being ranked #2 in the world is hilarious!

Always a pleasure to watch Sydney take a lap. Thanks for sharing.

GoSyd!! She's focused, relaxed and running well. 🏃🏾‍♀️🔥❤

The other woman just cannot match her strength… she is so strong! Jersey Strong!!

Sydney is such an awesome competitor and fun to watch, she ran through the hurdles like a breeze.

SHE IS ABSOLUTELY INCREDIBLE, TO SEE HER IN MY LIFETIME. FOR HER ITS JUST BUSINESS. SHE BRINGS A SMILE TO MY FACE EVERY TIME I SEE HER RUN. CREATING

I love that 21-year-old Hungarian woman who wanted a pic with Sydney. So Sweet!

There are no words. I've been watching her since high school. What talent.

Sydney always smiles after the race , not before !

Congrats to ya Sidney here coasting to da wire for this win here . Keep ya head up just do u . Best every time ya step on the track . Congrats to all ya have done thus far . Best to you n your husband. It’s that both found each other .

Even in a regular track event, Sydney have some serious pre race jitters. However, once that gun goes off she's a BEAST. Congrats to her.

Unstoppable-that's Sydney McLaughlin! She is a fine runner.

She’s so relaxed & in control 🥇👏👏👏👏👏

So nice Mc posed with the Rookie after the race.

She is just amazing. It's not only that she wins, but how she wins.

Sydney is great! She's a pleasure to watch, she makes it look easy!

Her mental focus has to be incredible. Hope to see her for years to come.

Beautiful and humble woman congratulations on winning and continuing to win 🏆 👏

This a a scouting race for Sydney she is preparing for world champs in Budapest next year. She is a beast 😂😂😂⚡️⚡️⚡️

Sydney is Katie Ledecky dominant. Two of our best ever.

Talk about a game face! 👍 Sydney is amazing. Focused, full of faith, humble! 🙏

It was very nice to watch McLaughlin run her own race, which I think is something most athletes aim to accomplish. What I found a little off-putting was the cameraman's lingering in her face to disrupt her pre-race focus and the woman commentator's comment about her not smiling into the camera. I've watched this young woman for awhile, and the intense pre-race focus has been consistent. I'm rather surprised more athletes don't do the same.

It's the stride for me!! She's only going to get better as her career continues. So proud of you Sidney 👏

Sydney always looks tense at the start…then it’s 14 strides, alternating lead legs, switching to 15 strides around hurdle 6. If she could do 14 strides for 2 more hurdles and not chop she breaks the world record again, easily. She’s the best, go Sydney!

I look up to her so much! Go Sydney 🔥🔥🔥

Sydney is a BAD A_S and she put in that work!! All of them have but just know her competitors make her look even better!! They look like beautiful horses I'm so jelly!! Keep up the great work!!!

Congratulations, Sydney, you're going to be remembered in the annals of track & field, alongside Florence Griffith Joiner. Good luck, in the next Summer Olympics.

Sydney's first race of the season she ran 51.61. If she's running 51.6 range at 3/4 speed - THAT IS SCARY. I think her and Bobby's next goal is sub-50 in this event, and then move on to the open 400. Athing Mu has talked about moving down to 400. Can you imagine the battles they'd have?!

She runs so relaxed. What an amazing athlete.

At the end she looks around like "What time is lunch?"

sydney is such a beauty even when getting ready to destroy the rest of the field. She does just float thru those hurdles and really wasn't pushing herself hard and she does this. Can't wait till she incorporates the 400 M flats as well, she is a force of nature and switching to Bobby as her coach right before olympics? Wow that was such a gutsy move.

She doesn't even look winded! Legacy in the making 🔥

At this point, anything over 52 is an off day for her.

How does she make it look so easy? She's really a star

She is so way out there, other athletes have to retrain, she uses a technique where she takes off one step per hurdle, that alone is so hard to over come plus here speed down the last stretch is really fast too. She is a superstar.

That seemed almost effortless. She wasn't even breathing hard after the finish. Put hurdles in her lane and let the world's best 400 flat runners run against her and she breaks 50 (and probably wins). I honestly thing she is capable of a 47.5 flat 400.

Congratulations unbeatable Sydney McLaughlin 🤝❤👏💪

No quién le pueda ganar. La mejor vallista en 400 m hd de la historia.

Just cruising & still winning 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

Want an example of the world rankings being BS...Sydney breaks the WR at US Nationals and is ranked #2 at world champs. Sydney again breaks the WR at world champs and somehow is still ranked #2. 4 times under 52 seconds this season (nobody else has got under 52 this season) and still cannot be #1.

Wow! Truly blessed

no words to describe her. A modest time by her stand is faster than the world record of 3 years ago.

Run Syd Run… Love her…

She is serious and beautiful. Congrats!!!!!!

She is Amazing go Sid!!!!!!

She is so much faster than everyone else a true legend already

One of my favorite athletes 💯

at peak of her game!

Good run Ms. Russell, Sydney McLaughlin is a different kind of Specimen second to none

She's like the Federer's and the Zidane's with this effortless, elegant display. Amazing.

Sydney always cruising 😍🙌🏼

I love this girl!!!

Beyond amazing!

What makes the great great in any field? It's usually something not recognized. And McLaughlin has that difference maker. Inspiring athlete.

Living the Sydney Era 😁💪

Sydney's game face pre-event reminded me of Allyson

Sydney is a beast, always gives her all much respect.

She makes it look so easy and effortless running under 52s

Great athletes look so effortless when they run.

Looked like a training run - phenomenal

Sydney has a stranglehold on this event. She's had it since H.S. Once she got herself situated professionally her races are now starting to look like her H.S. n college races where no1 is within a country mile of her. When these athletes line up beside her they have to know they r going for 2nd n 3rd place. The same way every1 who lined up along side Michael Johnson in the 400m knew they were running for 2nd n 3rd n the same way the men who lined up alongside Edwin Moses knew what it was. This is not to take anything away from the other athletes in this field because there r some really good/great hurdlers out there but Sydney is head n shoulders above the rest.

THE G.O.A.T!

That's a great race

Sydney is gorgeous

Her new “let me just win the race and play it cool” is a 51.68…. Let that sink in.

This was ridiculous. That wasn't a bad field. Sydney is winning these races by absurd margins. You see those sorts of daylight margins over one lap races in high school, not in pro meets. People are talking about the open 400, but Sydney very quickly after focusing on it completely will dominate that event too. Sydney might need to move down to the 200 to remain challenged in her career. What an athlete.

This woman is becoming one of my favorite athletes

the best ever.

She is unbeatable and I think she might beat the 50 mark. She is just a. Remarkable athlete. And beautiful.

It's nice when McLaughlin finally smiles. The Hungarians seem like nice hosts.

Congratulations

Sydney always looks like that before her race. She said it's nerves.
