They don’t let her run in the DL final because she did not collect enough points but then they inject pacers into races who obviously have no DL points either. Strange. Not to mention that putting pacers in final races distorts the very idea of a "final". Let them have it in the Olympics and World Championships, too, haha. DL lost the big opportunity to have Sydney and Marileidy in the same race which would have been the marquee event of the two days. Their loss. And Grand Slam Track's gain. See how Sydney promotes it and says she will consider running DL races only if her schedule permits. Something to think about, DL CEO😉
All true my friend but rules are rules. And what are you on about pacers lol? They're not genuine compeititors, they're there to set a pace and drop out. They don't need points cause of that. And one of the reasons there are pacers is so that it doesn't become a pathetic sit and kick which is sometimes entertaining but if it becomes like the 2016 1500m it's boring and will make viewers disinterested. And your point on it not being a real race is valid and the reason why there are no pacers in major championship finals like OG and WC cause then its helping some people by what are esentially external forces. I am excited to see grand slam though, hope it lives up to the hype. Its always good for some private competitors to get involved especially actual athletes cause that gives the athletes more choice and agency and pay which is always a good thing.
Syd the greediest athlete of this generation promoting the Grand Slam Track series. Her 1.5M New Balance contract is the only reason she ever shows up. Disrespects all our USA athletes who earned the right to be there by Showing Up to DL meets
Class act! Hope she runs for 10 more years.
these are the types of interview questions we love to hear!
I hope she keeps doing these two events. At least for the next Olympic cycle. She is a very special talent.
Happy for Syd.
Great interview! I love that!! Haha!! 💗
Can see her doing 200,400 double up at LA 28
No travel required, too!!
An inspiration!

Even the flowers are being advertised ...CAN SHE PLEASE RUN IN THE HOT RACES 200-400
Love her! 😊😊
So many athletes from Paris Olympic did not run in Diamond league, but y’all only seem to hate on SML for not running herself like she is a machine.
Will Syd show up to 4 Majors next year? I doubt it
I love that…
If she ran the final she would be probably be walking away with another championship.
How long before the Grand Slam Track series goes bankrupt?

Sydney proves that white women can compete and win in track and field
She's not white. So this comment is dumb especially since many actual white women have competed and won in track and field for years.
No you didn't! Shoulda kept that narrow-minded comment in your idiotic thoughts.
And diseased tadpoles can post
She is black
She’s mixed race
This is a lady who exudes so much class compared to the US 100m champion... Classy, talented and beautiful?
You know your time is short and yet you're always hiding and not running 🙄
Yea always hiding but somehow wins all the big tournaments in WR times. What a stupid comment
