EUGENE, Ore. — Sydney McLaughlin-Levrone had the fastest time in the 400-meter hurdles semifinals, clocking a 52.48 to easily advance to the finals Sunday.
Every time McLaughlin-Levrone steps on the track there’s a chance she could set a world record, and some expect that to happen Sunday. She is the defending gold medalist and a heavy favorite to repeat in Paris.
Dalilah Muhammad, who won gold in the event in 2016 in Rio and silver in Tokyo in 2021, finished second in McLaughlin-Levrone's semifinal heat at 54.16.
McLaughlin-Levrone also has a gold in the 4x400 from Tokyo, and is expected to be on that relay team again.
