Well said. She also long jumped over 20' in high school.

Totally over. She hit another gear!

I’m sure she wants this World Championship record and title

@@goldcanine_8751 She'd need to run much faster to get it. The women's 110 hurdles are probably the deepest of all the events (in terms of the talent pool). I love Syd, but she'd have a much better chance in the open 4 than 100h

@@keenannorris3309 r

I think over the 100m she isn't as fast as her competitors, not that she's slow, but she makes up for it by her the way she glides over the hurdles shuch tremendous grace and speed.

@@paulop3730 Rio 2014 the winner runs 12.59 so ..

@@thefun512 What are you saying?

I can't agree more!!

She has the best Coach.

I saw that too. Definitely caught me off guard

Lol

😂

I really loved how all the spectators standing around blocked all the action on the track. That’s the most exciting part of any race.

More like blowtrack!

I swear they have the worst camera angles I've ever seen

You forgot gorgeous. Maybe not as pretty as you are, but Sydney is gorgeous.

Don’t forget about Holloway

@@preacherzay Yes!

Muhammad

We do this all the time. Been doin this. Right now we got her, Fred Kerley, Michael Norman and the youngest of all them Erriyon Knighton, all threatening and able to rewrite the record books. Grant Holloway showing he can run the 100 and the 400x with the best. And I'm probably forgetting someone. And before her the great Mrs Felix. And I think Dalilah ain't done yet with the 400h. If FloJo were running in this era with all this endorsement money she'd be doing the same thing in the 100 and 200.

@@cavaleer and lamont marcell jacobs

Nitpicking is fine. A couple of seasons ago, McLaughlin floated over the hurdles, which resulted in her loosing to Dalilah Muhammad, who has impeccable form from running 60 and 100m hurdle races throughout college.

I thought the 400 hurdle is lower?

@@harrishoward5924 True but she wasted time clearing them by too much.

@@efisgpr ...and Femke Bol, the current and all-time #3 400mh, floats too much. So while Bol has demonstrated better flat-400m speed than both McLaughlin and Muhammad, Bol must improve her hurdling form to compete. Bol has time; she is younger than McLaughlin.

That’s what made the Tokyo race so exciting between the 3 of them. Muhammad had the experience and the skill, mcglauglin had sharpened her hurdling, and Bol with all the potential. Will be exciting to see where Sydney and Bol take the event over the next 10 years.

She is the fastest woman this planet ever seen run...world records,gold medals ...?

Fun fact: when hurdling, most of the time you actually focus more on rhythm and taking your “normal” amount of steps in between each hurdle instead of actual timing 😄

Women tend to be a bit less “show-boaty” than the men for the most part. But a little Devin Allen-level theatrics can be fun at times - in moderation.

why do people sitting at home slouched in a chair always have strong feelings about how pro athletes carry themselves lol

@@riahmatic Fans are allowed to have an opinion. That's part of the business of sports

@@riahmatic I think it’s more about wanting certain athletes to be and appear humble. Folk feel a little uneasy when some look too confident and proud.

Yup. No flashy outfits just total concentration

Has it been confirmed she will begin competing in 400m with no hurdles? Would love to see that.

@@GyariSan1 kind of….her coach said if she wins the 400 hurdles in Eugene, she will go after the 400 flat record next. So we will probably see her racing the 400 in the next few months , I can’t wait either. I’ve always said she should try the 400m. Next olympics she should do both

@@jersey4life31 Thanks that's great news. Breaking the 400m record by Marita Koch would be a huge ask, probably similar difficulty to breaking Flo Jo's 100m record. But if there's anybody who can do it it'll probably be Sydney. Just happy to see her try.

Sydney ran a 11.07, windy 100m her freshman year at Kentucky, she finished 2nd she beat all the Kentucky sprinters that day, lost to a pro. The video should be on Utube.

Allyson wasn't dominating her events like Syd has... Most her gold medals are relays for the Olympics. Syd is gonna be like the female Bolt. She can get her 100 hurdles down to 12.2. Her old teammate Camacho Quinn may break the WR. Syd always beat her in the 100 and 200. Her technique and step down is dramatically better than this time last year. She had little to no wasted movement today

@@SeanD30 Allison is a 5 time olympian, she's medaled in her individual events every olympics. There are more relay options FYI. It's not surprising someone of her talent and range to be on many relays. She won bronze a year after having a baby beating ladies 10/12 years younger. I hope we see Sidney around 5 olympics but she has far to go before she can be compared to Allison. Also worth noting- the sprint event are far more popular and competitive. The WRs are much harder to take down in her events. Again I love Syd but Allison will be the US GOAT a long time.

@@curtismiller319 please learn to read. She has 1 gold medal from her open events and that was the 200 in 2012 when she beat VCB after losing to her in 04 and 08. Again... syd dominates her event and has set a WR already. Allyson was never on that level. If we put Syd on every 4x4 and 4x1 Olympics squad the next 2 Olympics she will surpass Felix gold medals total by the age of 28.. Which is why I say she can be like Bolt. Bolt dominated and won in 3 events. 2 open. If Jamaica had a good 4x4 team he could've got cheap medals and more gold medals by being a leg on it too.

@@curtismiller319 many years due to politics she got to he on relays she didn't deserve lol. She also lost in a photo finish to her teammate in the 100 in 2012 and somehow she got to go instead of her teammate who never made another Olympics. Theres alot of politics in the sport which is how Marion Jones got on the 4x4 and wasn't running 400s at that time but yet she replaced others who were in the pool so she could try to get more gold medals. Last year Felix made the 4x4 when the most deserving was the US champ. Although Felix beat her at the Olympics you can't not run the damn US champ just to boost Allyson medal count which is what they did.

@@SeanD30 LMFAO you are a fool if you really think that- All my years in track and field I have never heard anyone talk down Felix LOL. I give credit where it's due. Hypotheticals are pointless! We don't need to agree about Allison but I doubt I'll find anyone else that tries to downplay her career. She gets credit on many levels and I bet you even Syn and the Jamaicans agree.

Are you joking? She probably gets the most

@@serenitybeats1677 Sha'Carri Richardson gets the most "undeserved" attention. Sad!!!

@@jamericanview8456 eh…she gets the most hate tbh

Agree, I believe it is because she is humble, and NOT woke or self-promoting.

He needs to leave Joanna Hayes like Syd did and work with Bobby Kearse

McLaughlin's a 400m hurdles specialist, while Quinn is a 100m hurdles specialist.

I think she does this for practice over 400mh

@@samanimations2002 that's true but it's good to imagine or hope for her to be successful in multiple track and field events

@@fodicky4 yeah I understand that

nothing
