That’s what Nigerian-American former linebacker Emmanuel Chinedum Acho has to say about Sydney McLaughlin-Levrone. Simply put, he sees Sydney as someone younger athletes should look up to. And Sydney has proven that herself time and time again.
She had rewritten history books several times in the sport. Suffice it to say that #sydneymclaughlin has cemented her name in the track and field. In fact, many are inclined to think that McLaughlin was perhaps born to be an athlete.
Even at the very young age of 16, Sydney competed at Rio 2016, having qualified third in the US national trials. She eventually finished 16th overall, being eliminated in the semi-finals. At the time, her age caught the headlines: McLaughlin was the youngest athlete to qualify for the USA #trackandfield team since 1980.
While she wasn’t expected to medal at such a young age, athletics fans still believed they saw a star in the making. And so they weren’t at all surprised when a few years later at the 2019 #worldathletics Championships in Doha, the young American won silver in the 400m hurdles.
