Its getting hard to imagine what Sydney *can't* do at this point
Wanna see her do 800m tbh
She honestly seems like that once in a lifetime athlete that can and WILL do anything she puts her mind to.
@@jhadebredenkamp97nah
@@bovtrait Agreed. She is not a distance runner. Keep her in the sprints and keep the slow twitch muscles at a min.
Yeah I agree. Pretty much..
Sydney's an athletic beast. But a Steiner 2nd after almost a year off due to injury is pretty darn good too.
Abbey is the sleeper. if she gets her arm movements right she will be a force.
It’s exciting to see what she can do whenever she steps on the track. Sydney is just on another level 🤯
F. bol is Bol: AND then, there is Sidney, yes, a whole other level......
@@robertdaniels3029who's the record holder in the event. She will prevail just as she did in 2021
@@vuksgitau What are you smoking. My comment referred to the fact that she has versatilità ( Italian). This is tracking to build speed and endurance running at high speeds over distance. if you don't know the sport, don't try to act like you do. i ran at a very high level, coached at a very high level and am enjoying watching her as I have done since she was in high school as I did with Mu and Rai Benjamin who actually comes form my old high school. Yes, we both are former college national champions and my record still stands at my old college. I am also in their Hall of Fame.
@doloresramirez5683 Leverone has a long way to go to be on "another level."
She runs one race this year and people go wild.
She's truly a running prodigy. Very well-balanced.
I said last week that Sydney will win this race and no one believed me. Don’t forget her coach is Bob kersee! One of the greatest 200m coaches of all time
Does she plan on consistently running the 200 meters this season?
@@GreekboyyD Nope just running it for speed training for the 400mh. Which makes her running that time and winning more ridiculous.
@@cobra7282 Appreciate the info and I agree with you. Very impressive and just makes you wonder how fast she could run in the 200 if she dedicated herself to it
Gabby ran a bad race. Gabby wins if she runs like she normally does

@@mikesweeney4183
True. Hope she has a great trials.
@@mikesweeney4183 Definitely.
Just recently read she will only doo 400h at Olympics. Definitely wanted to also see a 400m race since races like this show how incredible she is at whatever she does👌.
I definitely understand, but I realized I don’t want her to double so we can get her on the 4x400….
I think we have the right people to break the 4x400 record. Sydney, Athing, Gabby(or Abby), and another sub 50 runner. Holmes, Wilson, Shamier!
@@devongetman3135What's crazy is that multiple relays have a chance of records getting broken😮. Definitely can't wait to see that 4x400
@@Tredawakandan yes that’s true! The women’s 4x100 is on the table. We ran 41.03 last year with a couple of bad handoffs. Handoffs fixed we may have got that 40.82. A healthy Hobbs or 4th person and we can definitely get it. We also may have the people for the men’s 4x100. That will be a harder one to grab, but Knighton on that 3rd leg and a peak Lyles, Bednerak, and Coleman can possibly do it with the perfect handofff. The men’s 4x4 is are for now
Ive got tickets to the 4x100 Finals in Paris, among other great finals on friday. Cant wait!
@@MagnusficationEnjoy💯
Can’t help but think this is just a flex from Sydney 🤣 Bol is good. Really good. But Sydney is still at another level imo.
Bol is one of the great of her era…Syd is one of the greats of any era.
Sometimes it sucks to be born in the wrong era…
🤣🤣🤣---You know, I think you are onto something------Sydney has been hearing all these delusional loudmouthed Femke Bol fans, and decided to tank any hope they have of Bol winning the gold in Paris----I think the Olympic committee should send Femke her usual silver; she is not beating Sydney in this universe.
@@kobbieafriyie2172😂😂😂😂😂
@@kobbieafriyie2172 I agree with you and that's why she decided to go for 400m hurdles she will tear the field apart I love Sydney levrone so much
lmao you dont peak form a couple months before, he want to best @ paris. nothing special about this runner just bad timing for paris. common sense for non americans.
I was there in person. It was an awesome race! Great meet! Rai killed it, Norman killed it, and Hoppel. That’s impressive considering the track seemed a little slower than usual today.
I agree with you, some races did seem slower than usual.
@@kamilahdouglas1609 Right? For sure. It makes me think that Syd, Norman and Rai’s times could have been even better.
@devgongetman3135 The track was just as slow for everyone. Their top competition was not there either. They all did better than expected.
Was there to witness, feels great seeing Sydney race at my alma mater UCLA
Lol outside of Columbia and Harvard, that's the wokest school in America 😂😂😂
@@farzana6676 And you're a FOOL for thinking that is an offense! 😂😂😂
@@farzana6676 The university is a place to wake up to history and its manifestations today. It is a place that prevents people from remaining in the Dark Ages and joining in on the Witch Hunts and the book burnings.
Sydney is a perfectionist. She does not compete to come second regardless of the event. We are witnessing an athlete who is transferring and utilising skills between different events to her advantage in order to be the very best. Well done, Sydney.
That’s just absolutely incredible. A phenom amongst phenoms. She didn’t even win it in a small margin. Surely we have to believe after this start to her season that she is at least as good as she has ever been, if not more fit. I’m so excited to see what she does this year. In general, this LA Grand Prix was a phenomenal meet. Rai’s 46.6 400mH debut is also scary.
@Elliottklassen She wins one race this year and people go into a tizzy. There is a long road ahead.
@@vernonfrance2974 bitter soul detected
@@KeruboOnkoba I am not one bit bitter. I am being battered because I haven't been brought to believe Levrone is unbeatable. Delilah Muhammad used to beat her quite a bit.
Are you sure you aren't backing Levrone basically because she has a black father? If that is the case you should be reminded that her mom is of European descent. Besides, beauty is only skin deep.
I do believe her coach has skated by with regards to some of his trainees allegedly using prohibited meds.
Sydney McLaughlin is super talented.
@anthonnybrownnn9760 All top athletes are super talented. In that Levrone is not alone.
@@vernonfrance2974 Sydney McLaughlin is super super talented!!! Put Steiner or Gabby in a 400m hurdles or flat and see what happens. Guess what, they’re not coming close, talk more of winning it against Sydney
Abby looked great for her comeback. Saw this live, too!
The goat.
i still cant wrap my ahead around ur previous Sydney video where she won the 200m and 100m hurdles and now she goes and wins the 200m again with established 200m names dam
Sydney is putting up her hand to run second leg in the 4x100m relay folks
I would say 3rd leg might be a better choice.
@@Track4all
3rd leg and Gabby second leg,shaccari anchor leg
@@KeruboOnkoba TT Terry?
Third leg would be great for her. Hurdlers have special skills running the turn, but don’t have the quick start that a 100m specialist has. But it’s never going to happen. 4x400 is her most devastating relay spot. Along with Athing Mu and whomever else is among our best at 400 meters, US is unbeatable again if Sydney will run for us, and probably even if she doesn’t.
No one seems to be talking about her reaction time: 0.548… over HALF A SECOND reacting to the gun!
Had she reacted at the minimum 0.100, her final time would be 21.62, enough for 5th fastest ALL TIME!! Add a +2.0 tail wind and she’d be under 21.6.
reaction times were wrong though. I saw the complete race and she had a normal start. Something wrong.
That makes sense, it’s a little odd that 2 world class, finely tuned athletes like Sydney and Abby both reacted to the gun in over half a second.
@@footsmyth Yep, both had a normal start. If your reaction is slower than 0.5, it would clearly be visible to the naked eye. Even the athlete behind you would overtake you while still in the blocks. But anyway, it was a great performance from Sydney regardless. 🙌
So glad you covered this. Been waiting for a long time to see this 👀
And it's only the beginning of her season, she will do much better in 2 months!
@virgilius7036 If she had an injury which was keeping her out of competition so long it might reoccur with more competition.
Been watching track & field since the early 1980s. Her coach’s wife is probably the best all-around female track athlete when we include field events but Sydney is *capable* of winning a Gold Medal at 100m hurdles, 200m, 400m, 400m hurdles. If she pulls off such a feat before she retires….she’s the *GOAT.*
She could probably win the 100m *if she trained exclusively for the short sprints, 100m & 200m.*
Sydney is *ridiculous*
She is supremely explosive as well. Could even be a long jumper if she wanted. Did 6' high jump no problem in practice, too.
She should drop the hurdles and try to do the 200/400 double. Success would make her the greatest ever.
22.07 is very far from 21.41 🥰
Agreed! She has nothing to prove in the 400mH but would put herself on another level, beyond generational, if she added the 200m/400m double. Wonder what her long jump or heptathlon score would be?
@@robws007 She's literally that good that these questions aren't farfetched.
You just might have decoded the Maestros plans. But I think she wants a sub 50 hurdles to put it beyond anyone's imagination, first.
@@TheGreatness-gg1jx She's probably at her peak right now. I think the time is now for the 200/400. She can go back to the hurdles afterwards if she wants to but, as you said, she has nothing to prove there and I don't think a sub-50 second time is realistic.
The goat
Looking forward to 21-30 June The USA Olympic Trials then onward to 26 July - 11 August The 2024 Olympic in Paris.
All the Femke Bol fans are going to learn real quick that Sydney is the true GOAT.
They are a bit quiet now.
Sydney impressed me and surprised me. She is always fire when she steps on the track. One of the best athletes to ever walk the planet. To get a crazy strong start like that as a 400m hurdler is other worldly.
Gabby Thomas will be back and stronger in the Olympic trails. She great regarding racing strategy and her overall strength. If she's healthy in the summer I think she's a lock for a medal behind Sherricka Jackson.
Abby Stiener's top end speed looks back even after an injury. Great to see her again. Hopefully she can make the olympic team as well.
I'm excited for Paris.
Theres no world in which femke bol should be mentioned in the same sentence as Sydney....
Bob Kersee is something else
It’s important to point out that her reaction time was over HALF A SECOND in this race, so, if she’d had a good tailwind and a more normal reaction time, she’d be able to EASILY go well under 22.
Thank you!! And not even trying to get more knee lift or shorten her strides. Definitely ENORMOUS potential for 21-mid.
It seems those reaction times are wrong. There were multiple athletes with over half a second reaction time and many with over . 4 in multiple races and statistically that is absolutely impossible.
A half a second reaction time would also be very visible to the naked eye which was not the case here. Go and watch Blakes terrible .2 second reaction time from his 19.26 and then multiply that by 2 and a half times and then picture how bad your start would have to be to get a half a second reaction time. The athlete inside you on the bend would have almost caught up with you before you have left the blocks.
@@etuoyo Yeah I have to agree with you there mate. To be honest, it doesn’t even show the start at all/very well in the video so I couldn’t really tell. But yeah, the reaction times are probably wrong. Still a great world lead from a 400m hurdler!
One of the best in the world at the 200m already and she's only using to train for her other events. Unreal.

How are you doing this while at the Atlanta City Games?

@@Gr8Incarnate
Haha, for sure. I think, more so, that fact he is uploading quality audio with what feels like a written-script regarding races that happened within the past few hours, all while watching and covering races at another meet.
Wow…Syd is a total freak of nature!
If she can dip under 50 second statistically this is the greatest athletics record in history. Maybe Sotomayor’s wr or bolt’s 9.58 are there but this is just pure insanity.
I think it'll be the greatest.
I totally agree that a sub 50 second 400mh would be one of the most impressive track & field records of all time but let’s not forget Bob Beamon’s unbelievable long jump record of 29 ft 2 1/4” set at the 1968 Olympics. That feat beat the previous record by 21 3/4” (almost 2 ft) and still stands as the current Olympic record today, 56 years later!
She just brings so much strength and endurance to a race half the distance with no gates
She would face a great hurdle (no pun intended) in beating Shericka Jackson in the 200m and Marileidy Paulino in the 400m. Bob Kersee knows this and that is why he is keeping her at 400M Hurdles.
I would love for Sydney to do 200m from 2026 in the fallow year of athletics into 2028 going to the LA Olympics. There is something about Sydney and her ability to be so versatile that could make a major threat in the 200m.
This race in my opinion, is one of many that showcases she can flow between almost all the sprint events and could be dominant in any event she chooses (The 100mh, 200m, 400m & 400mh specifically).
Win or Lose at Olympics, I want to see more of Sydney in the 200m, I can definitely see a 21.8 from her.
2028 is too far away she should aim for the world championships though
@@jobi5329 She can, at the 2027 World Championships.
Untouchable for real
That is incredible for a speed training one-off race. I wish someone else in the race had pushed her hard to the finish just to get her under 22. But it’s obvious she can do a 21 something. There are many sprint specialists who never get under 22, and here Sydney does it just for speed training for her main event. What an athlete. Another world record coming, and Femke, as good as she is, will settle for Silver. But it’s athletes like these that push the limits. We are so blessed to get to see them. Appreciate it and tell your kids and grandkids!
She’s a completely dominant athlete. She can probably hold her own in the 100m too, but anything 200-400 she’s THE ONE. She’s HER 💪🏽
Yeah, Sidney isn't resting on her laurels and wishful thinking to anyone who thinks any of her competitors can keep up with her in the 400 hurdles . She looks ready for a low 50 point or possibly dipping into 49 seconds. She getting better. Speed, endurance, the full package. Hopefully she'll run an open 400 soon so she can break the American record. That was extremely impressive considering the women she just took down, Femke would have come in dead last, probably at least a half second behind Sydney.
Bol is improving at a fast pace perhaps at the same rate as Sydney, you can't dismiss her.
@@nicolasleiva6636you are lying Sydney just needed to lower the 50seconds Bol will never match Sydney levrone at all
@@KeruboOnkoba You don't know that! Bol is progressing at a similar pace and in some aspects better. But you never know!
Syd is more of a speed athlete than Bol. Bol has incredible speed endurance. Bol also has an indoor 22.6x and for a tall athlete that is well worth an outdoor time of at least 22.3. Neither are gonna be true 200m specialists!
She’s breaking the world record for sure in 400 hurdles
It's Her WR To Break! Again!!!
i think it also 50.3/50.4 for Sydney and Femke is targetting i think 50.8-50.9.
Greatest all around runner alive
MCLAUGHLIN'S RULE!
Amazing. Just read an ABC article where her coach confirms that she will be competing in the 400mH for the olympic trials. Cant wait for Sydney vs Femke!
Should be a great final in Paris. Femke Bol has improved a lot since they last raced, and ran 22.6 on a 200m short track earlier this year, which means she could have probably run around 22.3 on a normal 200m track with less bends. So she also has the flat speed.

2:28 "Sydney's abilities cannot be understated" 🤔
Looks like she's going after her own world record. Hope she gets back to the 400 flat soon. It'll be exciting watching her chase that record.
What a wake up call to these other sprinters. They better step up their game big time.
Sydney!🌟
Can't wait to see her at the olympics !!
A 400mh world record coming
The 2024 Prefontaine Classic is this coming weekend. It is going to be very interesting. Sydney may shatter more records there.
Based on that effort it appears she'll go very close to 48.00 for 400M flat over coming months, with an outside chance of dipping slightly under, which hasn't been done outside the dubious world records of the 1980s. Even her 400M hurdles WR looks under threat. Another Bolt in her event.
She neeed to do both and relays too
This lady is gonna pull a Flojo performance this year. Simply being unbeatable.
Yes
SML is the GOAT
Sydney LOVES❤
Always a gr8 race when Abby Stiener and Gabby Thomas running. (The two beauty queens.)
Congrats to Sydney although I suspect she doesn't need any outside noise to tell her how good she is or to use that noise for motivation, the great ones are self motivated! I wouldn't count Abby out just yet, still getting her legs under herself since surgery! It seems she's still searching for that top end speed which she had in her college days, that last 20 meters was hers and I expected to see it in this race but it wasn't quite there yet. The next few months will be very entertaining with the women, I predict it'll take a sub 22 to be on the Olympic team in the women's 200!
All Abby needs to do is run some 400's to build stamina.
..hope it's not too hot in Paris in July, but things will be heating up at the track!
Sydney is one of the biggest female stars already. I knew she would do good but this is surprising.
Levrone can just hop into anything and dominate. Don't you love it?
"Subsequent" Olympic Games, not "preceding." "Preceding" means "to come before." SML is expanding her comfort zone, and the rest of women's track needs to take note. Unless the 400 final at the Trials goes completely off the rails, the USA entry into the women's 4x400 should be spectacular.
I really hope and pray she stays healthy through the Olympics. I have seen too many athletes pull a muscle, get sick, etc. and not full.fill their potential.
Sydney is untouchable
What’s really WILD is it appears she WASNT EVEN WEARING SPIKES! Unless I’m mistaken, she was the only athlete wearing regular running shoes, which are significantly heavier than track spikes. Could be another couple tenths difference.
Schedule depending I think the 200's are a bid to make the 4x1 in addition to the 4x4 teams this olympic year
This reminds me of her first open 4 last year. This race right here is what that was all about last year 👀👀👀
She’s definitely contesting the 400m at WC next year and having a go at that world record.
Think my man doesn’t understand how fast you have to be to split 48 low on a relay leg and 48 mid on open 400. Her running 22 flat is what anyone who knows track would expect. Maybe if she dipped into 21.70 would I be surprised but you can’t be serious here
Exactly! this is not much better than her 22.39 in 2018.
Honestly i saw Elaine Thompson lose every race, just do enough to qualify but when D-Day came she won everything by a few seconds surprising her Jamaican teammate who was favourite in everything.
My point is, not every runner is going hard until silverware is the goal
Sydney is the GOAT of track and field at whatever she wants to compete in.
Sydney is a great athlete .... and a great person.
Sydney is amazing.
Very interesting no one else even close although they all run around that time last time out. I find it very strange every one is so far behind and unusual.
Wow..! She can run faster and UPSET OTHER FAVOURITES. She will run Somewhere 21.60s or 21.70s
She had reaction over 0.5, that means she could go 21.7 in this race very easily
@@cusahoj No she didn't, the reaction times were wrong. Come on, look at it with your naked eye. Even Blake looked faster when he ran 19.26 and his reaction time was 0.269
@@WheeJones tru
It wasn’t an upset to me, I predicted this
🔥🔥
what was Gabby Thomas saying about her Jamaican roots making her fast?
1:48: “…she is NOT a 200m runner”… apparently she is! Haha
Sydney should run a 300 and the never run 500 to get speed and endurance for the 400 and 400 hurdles. Bracketing rules!
Wait... after breaking the 400 hurdles record by over a second, and running the fastest 4x400 relay split by over a second in Eugene, Oregon 2022, we’re only Just Now discovering that Sydney is fast???
And running a 22.39 in 2018 - I know huh. She has always been fast. TRP needs more clicks
bob kersey maybe about to switch her to the 200 next year...if so all 200 meter runners should be scared...
Why doesnt she also run 200 at the Olympics? She will probably win!!
Because it was a bullshit race, it looked like everyone else was jogging.
Not exactly an upset. Steiner is coming off of surgery and is nowhere near in form
Other than 400h and 400, now also 200 at maximum possible level. What will she drop at Oly?
let her cook!
Would love to know Sydney's 100M split time.
Syd is a straight up alien . If ever anyone has seen a more complete female sprinter in the history of athletics including flo jo and the current big 3 from jamaica Id like to hear who it is. The woman had not competed in a 200 m in 6 years. She lines up in the box with imo the 2 greatest 200m sprinters the USA has , and in a workman like , easy as you please manner torches both while posting a personal best of 22.03 ! Not even close. Honestly.. nothing terribly shocking here in as far as Syd is concerned. this woman is the final word in being prepared to compete. What I found astounding was Gabbys baffelingly slow and honestly dismal showing. Please , someone who was there tell me she was holding back.. dogging it for some reason known only to her , god and her coach. Its a forgone conclusion after seeing her in LA that if ... she wanted it , yea she would own the 200m field . And when I say field I mean the entire World. every single thing she decides to compete in ... Its lights out. Will miss very much seeing her astound the World with the first undoped sub 48 clocking in the 400m if the rumors prove true that she will once again defend her 400m hurdles title in paris. It isn't really necessary although any chance to see Syd and Femke on the track at the same time is simply must see. The highest drama the world could hope for is that Syd doesnt defend in the hurdles and locks in on the 400m sprint.
Why ? Because its the one event that she can and should compete in where the outcome is not a forgone conclusion . Love me some Femke Bol...not a snow balls chance in hell she beats Sydney in the 400 h.
The 400m sprint however... Oh yea ..this is definitely one she could lose with the likes of Paulido , and shana miller Ouibo to deal with. But if she jumps in .. she wont lose. As I said , she IS the final word in preparedness
Yoooo.... Its getting silly 😮 She is a once in an 🌎 talent
She will probably break the 400mH world record this year
Waaaaay more drugs than you thought too. One can disregard how effortlessly she runs the toughest sprint in the world (400m hurdles) or how visibly unexhausted she is after the race, even though there's a remarkable similarity with Flo Jo on both counts. But the harder to miss red flags are all there - huge improvements on world records regularly, big breaks away from the track, ability to compete in events she's never run competitively before and still beat the world's best, and coached by Bob Kersee who was once known as Bob the Chemist coz he only worked with athletes who agreed to take PEDs.
Please explain national and world age level records since she was 14 years old?
Thanks magical thinker
I want Abby Steiner to step up more, but I am not sure she can. I hope she can.
Syd's 400 hurdles is faster than Femke and Femke's much faster than everyone else
"Jersey makes, the world takes"
Hopefully Steiner can break 22. 11. 0R 5O
Huh? Abby has a pb of 21.77.
This win was not surprising at all. It was almost expected
I'm sorry Femke, maybe next year lol
