Sydney McLaughlin-Levrone ran a blisteringly fast race to win the Olympic Games Paris 2024 women’s 400m hurdles gold medal in a new world record time of 50.37 seconds.

The American blasted out of the blocks, chasing down her biggest rival, the Netherlands’ Femke Bol, in the lane outside of her before passing her easily with over 100m to go.

As McLaughlin-Levrone raced down the finishing straight, with the roars of the Stade de France crowd behind her, the thousands in the stands knew they were witnessing something special.

The U.S. superstar was alone, her competitors far behind her. And for the seconds it took before she passed the finish line, you got the impression she was chasing history as much as another Olympic title.

There is an air of expectation every time McLaughlin-Levrone runs. However, the hype before this race reached fever-pitch as a showdown between the American and her Dutch rival Bol made this one of the most highly-anticipated finals of the Games.

Would McLaughlin-Levrone retain the Olympic title she won at Tokyo 2020? Would the in-form Bol shock the world with victory in Paris?

In the end, the night belonged to McLaughlin-Levrone. And the victory was emphatic.

The American flew as Bol faded, with another American Anna Cockrell taking silver in a personal best time of 51.87. Bol crossed the line in 52.15 to win bronze.
