Unfortunately never going to happen, but Fans would love to see both Syd & Femke take '25 off running the 400mH & fully compete in the flat 400m vs the likes of Paulino, Naser, Pryce, Kaczmarek, Adeleke & hopefully a healthy Shaunae & Britton! The 400mH will be fine for a yr with the likes of Cockrell, Jones, Clayton etc having very competitive battles with each other!
If she runs against men and sets a woman's WR, it won't count. Even if she runs against not quite top tier women, just being there and the adrenaline rush might give her the boost to run a fast time. So she won't get Diamond League points but still would be eligible for the prize for breaking a WR.

Syd's there for 1 reason and 1 reason only. To promote the Grand Slam Track series!
@@BradAdams-y5f 🤔 interesting theory.

@@stevespyder yeah, I didn’t think about the world record against the men. Thanks for the input Steve.
It wouldn't matter if she set a WR while running against men, running against men wouldn't make her a man and the record would count.
Disrespects all of our USA athletes who earned the right to be there by Showing Up to DL meets
They invited her.
