Paris Olympics: Sydney McLaughlin-Levrone cemented her status as one of the sport’s all-time greats by shattering her world record in the 400m hurdles final at the Paris Olympics.
The American superstar ran a blisteringly fast race to win the women’s 400m hurdles gold medal in a new world record time of 50.37 seconds.
It marked the fifth time the American had lowered her own world record, and she became the first woman to go back-to-back at the Olympics in the event since it made its debut at Los Angeles 1984.
