The 100mH at this trials was easily the deepest in history. I believe the most sub 12.40s in a single race was 3. But 6 people went 12.39 or faster in the finals at Eugene!!!
@@Neofolis But Keni barely ran this season. Also, she got silver in Tokyo with a 12.52. And should have to run close to her 2016 PB in order to beat Russell, so the cards were stacked against her in that she just wasn't prepared and prob didn't realize how fast she would have to run.
@@jessicaT12345 Obviously she would probably have benefitted from more races, but no-one expects to run 12.39 and not make the team. Keni did really well, given her lack of preparation.
You guys got to take eugen times with a grain of salt it aint a coincidence thenfastest times ever in hurdles were run there respectfully its a .10 tenths faster than most tracks
@@user-uv6gt3xr1zthere is lots of excitement because this lady is doing something we've never seen before. Her talent is also encouraging others to raise the bar. I'm excited and cannot wait to see her raise the bar over and over again.
I'm in total agreement with you about Dalilah. She has been an awesome ambassador for our sport both on and off the track. What's crazy about all of this is the amount of depth the US has in the hurdles and sprints. Times of 52.9, 12.37, 13.00 couldn't make the team. Having said that, I'm super proud and excited for those who will represent us in Paris. Great commentary!
Sydney's run here felt odd. Not in a bad way, but like unexpected. She didn't break her record by as big of a margin as her 51.41 to 50.68, but no one expected her to do it here at the trials. Many thought she'd break it again at Paris including myself. This was such a great final.
She looked like she wasn't trying that hard. Then again, great athletes make a lot of hard things look easy. Can't wait to see her break it again in Paris.
What’s crazy is that SHE was shocked. The last time she looked visibly shocked by her performance was when she ran 51.9. I’m sure she and Bobby weren’t preparing to run this fast this early. The Paris final is gonna be insane!!
I think the reason was that Sydney ran 14 steps from hurdle 2 to 5 only, 15 steps from hurdle 6 to 10. In the 2022 WR run, she ran 14 steps from hurdle 2 to 7, 15 steps from hurdle 8 to 10. If she had run the same exact pattern like she did in 2022, it would probably be even faster than 50.65. Perhaps that's why she was shock at the end.
I expected Sydney to go for the record, and I told a friend of mine as much before the final. Over the last few seasons, that has been her modus operandi. When she ran the 200 earlier this season, she was hoping to go sub 22. When she ran the open 400, she was hoping to break Sonya's American record. The year in which she set the 400 m hurdles record at 50.68, she opened the season with a mid 51 clocking! She picks her spots, but when she steps on the track she means business.
I was gobsmacked at Syd; couldn’t believe she lowered the WR yet again. And Rai with that time after a less than stellar performance!! The Hurdles were just on fire this year! Go Gators!
She was on a solid 50.0 strat through 200m. 12.3, 24.4 this is what splits I would expect, and she was just hundredths over. 13.12 and 13.13 to close, that's, that's not normal. 50.0 splits would look like 12.6 and 13.0. It's like she put it on cruise control going into hurdle 6. I think her slowest segments were between hurdles 7 and 9. She was faster between 9 and 10 (4.65) and even faster in the run-in 35/40 of the run-in time is 4.57, her slow segments were 4.68!
Here’s a funny stat: Holloway, Robles, and Merritt are all exactly tied for first for the average of their top 5 performances with 12.902. Gotta feel bad for Tinch though. 13.03 is the fastest fourth finishing time in hurdles history.
I have to agree that Sydney does have the ability to run sub-50 in the 400 mh. She ran that backstretch pretty conservatively. She is a HEAVY favorite; but I do believe that she will pull Bol to a 50-point performance. I also agree that for the bronze it'll probably be between Anna Cockrell and Rushell Clayton. Props to ALL-TIME GREAT, Dalilah Muhammad! I would have loved to see her at the Olympics one more time. Men's 400 m hurdles podium is set; but it is tough to predict between Benjamin, Dos Santos, and Warholm. I am just rooting for a great race! I wouldn't be surprised to see all 3 of them run sub-46. Holloway looked good and really held his form through the end of each of his races. If he continues in this vein, he should win the gold medal. It's pretty open for the other medals with Crittenden and Roberts, as well as the Jamaicans competing for them. The 100m hurdles is really tough to predict. Sub-12.4 all the way down to 6th place. That's a time that has won major championships! With the Americans, the Jamaicans, JCQ, and Amusan, this is definitely the toughest event to predict; so I won't even try!
syd is allyson felix 2.0!! When she foes sub 50 at the olympics she absolutely needs to move on to the 400m and 200m! Syd is a freaking star and has the potential to hold the record for 2 events(400m flat) and get on the podium for 200m!! She's the person that really put track and field on the map again! She deserves the recognistion!!
You will probably have a better idea in a couple of weeks after the London DL. But I don't see Bol going sub 51 on the hurdles. She is sub 52 at best this year.
Those Bol fans have been beating their gums up since last year, thinking Sydney was done. Now they understand Bol never has a chance as long as Sydney is lined up. She's gonna leave Femke in her dust. The comments from them have definitely quieted down since yesterday.
they have definitely gone underground...but they are plotting their next bowl of excuses -----I can't wait to hear their new great delusional excuse for why Bol will beat sydney😂😂
@@kobbieafriyie2172 lol I've heard them all. Sydney only ran sub 51 on a "bouncy fast" Hayward field. Bol's 49.17 indoor means low 48s outdoor, and therefore low 50s in the hurdles. Some even claimed Bol has better lactic acid management than Sydney. I always get a good laugh reading those fools' comments.
@@lamster70 Bol's fans are created, i have to concede that to them🤣🤣---their ability to churn out nonsense continuously is out of this world----My favorite ofcourse is their indoor record argument---they jump on that to mean as you said low 48s outdoors -----they also said she has more endurance and closing speed than Sydney, both of whom are lies -----the idea that Bol has closing speed against some other athletes does not mean she has better closing speed than Sydney---------Lamster, they are desperate now given Sydney's new world record, they are ready to fight for Bol till she is embarrassed brutally in Paris😅😅😅
Dalilah's certainly fantastic and she pioneered this new wave with the step pattern that no one thought could be done. She deserves all the praise. She helped create the GOAT. Bol ain't capable of getting anywhere near 50. She's never even run a 48 flat and barely broke 52. She's a great talent but Sydney is a once a century talent. Shamier underestimated the competition and it costs her massively. I hate that for her because she's fantastic. But she should not have run the quarters.
I agree on the Dalilah and Shamier comments.. But Femke can definitely run 50. She has never run 48 because she hasn’t tried to. Remember that ever time Sydney has ran an 48. She was aiming at the US record. Femke has never chased a time in the 400 flat outdoors. And she has run sub 52 3 times last season. 51.4, 51.7 and 51.9. And it was her first season running 14 steps between hurdles. So I expect her to improve from 51.4
@@virgilius7036 guess what Sydney’s PB was the year before she broke 51? It was 51.4. The question is why is it that Sydney can improve and Femke can’t. Especially given that Femke was running 14 steps for the first season ever? Yes 51.4 to 50. Is a big jump but it was done by Sydney. From 2021 to 2023 Femke improved her PB by 0.6s She is the same age as Sydney. Explain to me why is it that Femke, according to you, has reached her peak?
The most amazing thing about SML is she makes It look so easy. She is so smooth it is scary. Gabby Thomas has that same style but you can tell she is running harder because it’s a shorter race. It really makes me wonder how fast SML can run the flat 400 and even the 200. Our 400 hurdles team is extremely fast. I was hoping deep down that Dalilah, who was the trail blazer in that race might squeeze in. I love that Anna paid her tribute when they were being interviewed. Total class move.
Syd is already The GOAT 🐐 Paris doesn’t solidify it all it does is add to the legacy at this point. Daliah 1 Olympic/1 WC gold 2 WRs Syd 1 Olympic/1 WC gold 5 WRs first athlete to break not just 1 barrier but 2 sub 52 sub 51 and is the only one ever under 51 not once but twice. This is not debate and I like said on X it was over at the end of 2022
As an aside. Can we get more background on these athletes please? I just learned Kenny Bednarek's story and it adds so much more to how fans feel when watching him on the track. He's a dogged racer and he had a really tough childhood. It makes me wonder, did his childhood prepare him for his destiny? Or is he racing to overcome his childhood demons? It's called emotional engagement and it's the main reason we watch sports, for the drama. It means far more to most fans than comparing medals and PBs and all those stats journalists love to obsess about. Stats may be fine for those who follow team sports but for track and field, it's a personal relationship between the athlete and the fans and it's a career-long journey.
What a thrilling conclusion to the Olympic trials, with the women's 400m hurdles record being shattered! I coin McLaughlin-Levrone as a corporate runner-she is all business. I hope Sydney McLaughlin-Levrone can compete in the mixed and women's relays. Some may underestimate the mixed relays, but the objective should always be to dominate every race. As a big fan of Rai Benjamin, I'm concerned about the lack of competition pushing him in the men's 400m hurdles. Unlike Sydney, I still need to see how he performs under intense pressure. While he gave us a glimpse of his potential a few months ago, his competitors, especially Karsten Warholm and Alison Dos Santos, eagerly await him. Alison Dos Santos is way too dangerous for my taste, and I need Rai to run sub-46s in every round (ok, I know this is not possible, just saying). I don't plan to bet against Rai, but I wish we could have seen how he handles high-pressure situations ahead of the 2024 Olympics.
@finalleg! Yo love your videos and your analysis! This week got me excited for Paris! Also side note: what do you use for your beard, asking for myself lol?
I don't see her running 49.9. This race looked so perfect how can she knock off a half second? I would like to see her break the 400 flat wr and dominate the 200. Cement her goat status.
nice breakdown.. too bad about Shamir Little. But that's what makes the USA trials exciting, one never knows who will show up. Sydney is on another planet. The oympics should give her a million dollar prize if sho goes under 50. In fact the olympics should have huge cash incentives for outstanding performances
I didn't expect a 50 point from Sydney yet but she definitely going 49 if alls well i think makes it high percent chances of Breaking the 400m world record
Another thing I want to add. Opposite to me NOT expecting Syd to break the WR. I actually thought Rai would break the WR with a 45.9 or 45.8 high. Also didn't Trevor like run with a 47.2 or 47.3 and come third in Eugene? It's crazy how he hasn't been signed yet
she will go under 50, there are all the signs to prove it, her hurdling is clearly smoother then in the previous wr run and 400m flat speed is least 0,5s better than in that run.
Hello Israilite King,bol isn't built like that,if someone is drugged up. Sydney,50:04;49,48:74,bol,49:17, indoors what she's ran outside in the,400, lately I wait.
Ackera Nugent blasts a 12.28 PB/NR/WL only for Masai Russell moments later to run a 12.25 PB/WL with SIX women running sub 12.4s in the US 100mH Final - proving why the W100mH continues to be the best/competitive event in the sport! And there's still Tobi Amusan, JCQ & the dangerous Cyrena Mayela-Samba (12.31 PB) at home in Paris! Great to see Danielle Williams & Janeek Brown make JAM's W100mH Team! A record 8 Women have already run sub 12.4s this yr, could very well see 10 -15 in total do it this yr which is crazy! Femke could run an impressive 50.9 in Paris & still potentially get beat by a FULL SEC by Syd! Can Rushell, Anna & Jasmine get into the high 51s in Paris?! Shamier 4th place again & Caleb Dean falling :( S/O Vets Dalilah, Sandi Morris, Kara Winger, Christian Taylor & Will Claye for what they all did for their events; D2 Champ Brynn King who made the PV Team ahead of Sandi Morris; W1500m where Top 8 all ran sub 4m; and Bryce Hoppel's impressive 1.42.77 800m PB/MR! JuVaughn Harrison is incredibly lucky that only Shelby McEwen of the 3 men who finished ahead of him in the HJ Final has the 2.33m Olympic Standard!
I am suprised that you are so biased in your comments today .A woman just broke the world record for the 5th time and you said she is not the GOAT. Dalilah was my favorite athlete and now we have to be fair enough to admit that the new GOAT is Sydney . Why do we need Paris to solidify the GOAT status? Again, here is a subjective criteria that doesn't make any sense . Dalilah was the past and Sydney is the present.
@@QuamfyMarc, if you are wishing for an injury to the women's USA 400 M hurdle athletes as the only way for the Netherlands or Jamaica to medal, you might be careful as that karma or bad luck may come back on the Netherlands or Jamaican athletes. Shame on you!
Stop hyping a person that has not come close to 50 anything. She is at her capacity. Syd is just on another levrl like Simone Biles, which us why all those gitls under her fell apart. The perdon to watch is Anna C. It is clear getting support from Muhhamd has improved her drastically,
The media have been pushing this false comparison--as you rightly pointed out, Sidney is in a class of her own--This Dutch woman is not even close to breaking into the 50 sec category
She left in the fall of 2023 to train with John Smith, but moved back to Boogie Johnson in May this year. Check the interview I did with her after the 400mH heats. She explained it.
I think Sydney is already the GOAT in the 400mH, so I'm not sure what the point of running in Paris is? Sure, a second gold would be a legacy that will likely stand for a long time, however (speaking as one of "those" presumptuous fans LOL) I don't understand why she doesn't go after the flat 400m record? For the good of track & field those tainted records from the 1980s need to be taken down and if she is clean then she is the generational talent to do the job. As much as I admire SML, the humblebrag about it all being in God's hands is hard to take. Sure, be Christian, you do you... but it's a little arrogant to essentially be saying that she is the chosen one! She gets those times because SHE busts her ass in training... and doesn't God also have a plan for Femke Bol? Femke Bol is admirable for being such a grinder... she does the relays, she races indoors, she went after and took down one of those tainted 1980s records (indoor 400m), so she deserves a legacy too but will probably be the Steve Young to SML's Joe Montana.
Unless Sydney has a personal time like under 50 seconds, that she has to prove to herself should she continue doing hurdles as outside of that it makes no sense to me. She need to start dominating the other areas like the 100mh, 200m and 400m now that will put her in a completely different universe and she proves she can do it. But this 400mh to me now is just mundane and we ALL know that she cannot be challenged in the hurdles so it's boring now.
The 100mH at this trials was easily the deepest in history. I believe the most sub 12.40s in a single race was 3. But 6 people went 12.39 or faster in the finals at Eugene!!!
That's exactly what I was about to say. When Nia Ali and Keni Harrison run season bests and don't make the team, you know it's a ridiculous race.

nice breakdown.. too bad about Shamir Little. But that's what makes the USA trials exciting, one never knows who will show up. Sydney is on another planet. The oympics should give her a million dollar prize if sho goes under 50. In fact the olympics should have huge cash incentives for outstanding performances
I just can't figure out wassup with Keni. Recurring theme...
I didn't expect a 50 point from Sydney yet but she definitely going 49 if alls well i think makes it high percent chances of Breaking the 400m world record
Shamire Little ran too many races , I'm sorry , but her coach should've just sat her down until the finals.
Another thing I want to add. Opposite to me NOT expecting Syd to break the WR. I actually thought Rai would break the WR with a 45.9 or 45.8 high.
Also didn't Trevor like run with a 47.2 or 47.3 and come third in Eugene? It's crazy how he hasn't been signed yet
Can Anna medal at Olympics? That would be great if she does
GOAT in the 400m hurdle
she will go under 50, there are all the signs to prove it, her hurdling is clearly smoother then in the previous wr run and 400m flat speed is least 0,5s better than in that run.
Hello Israilite King,bol isn't built like that,if someone is drugged up. Sydney,50:04;49,48:74,bol,49:17, indoors what she's ran outside in the,400, lately I wait.
The goat at hurdles
Ackera Nugent blasts a 12.28 PB/NR/WL only for Masai Russell moments later to run a 12.25 PB/WL with SIX women running sub 12.4s in the US 100mH Final - proving why the W100mH continues to be the best/competitive event in the sport! And there's still Tobi Amusan, JCQ & the dangerous Cyrena Mayela-Samba (12.31 PB) at home in Paris! Great to see Danielle Williams & Janeek Brown make JAM's W100mH Team! A record 8 Women have already run sub 12.4s this yr, could very well see 10 -15 in total do it this yr which is crazy! Femke could run an impressive 50.9 in Paris & still potentially get beat by a FULL SEC by Syd! Can Rushell, Anna & Jasmine get into the high 51s in Paris?! Shamier 4th place again & Caleb Dean falling :( S/O Vets Dalilah, Sandi Morris, Kara Winger, Christian Taylor & Will Claye for what they all did for their events; D2 Champ Brynn King who made the PV Team ahead of Sandi Morris; W1500m where Top 8 all ran sub 4m; and Bryce Hoppel's impressive 1.42.77 800m PB/MR! JuVaughn Harrison is incredibly lucky that only Shelby McEwen of the 3 men who finished ahead of him in the HJ Final has the 2.33m Olympic Standard!
Sydney is the GOAT with 5 world records
Sub 50sec is coming some time down the line!
Sydney is the GOAT
I am suprised that you are so biased in your comments today .A woman just broke the world record for the 5th time and you said she is not the GOAT. Dalilah was my favorite athlete and now we have to be fair enough to admit that the new GOAT is Sydney . Why do we need Paris to solidify the GOAT status? Again, here is a subjective criteria that doesn't make any sense . Dalilah was the past and Sydney is the present.
At 50.95 Femke's fast Syd's faster and everybody else is now just slow for the bronze
I'm looking for the USA to go 1-2 in the 400h
Netherlands & Jamaica will medal. Maybe no medal for US if minor injury occurs again. 😅
Femke isn't losing to 2 people. Just one.
Us will get 3 athletes in the final but only Sydney will medal
@@QuamfyMarc Definitely none for the two you mentioned if a “minor injury” occurs. 😅
@@QuamfyMarc, if you are wishing for an injury to the women's USA 400 M hurdle athletes as the only way for the Netherlands or Jamaica to medal, you might be careful as that karma or bad luck may come back on the Netherlands or Jamaican athletes. Shame on you!
Dalilah Muhammad deserves a lot more credit. Unfortunately even when she was winning gold medals, Sydney got the lions share of the coverage.
It’s unfortunate, but there’s nothing the media loves more than a teenage phenom.
@@runwithyaz And throw in a little colourism too...
@@AllInTheGame01hard to admit, but you’re right.
Stop hyping a person that has not come close to 50 anything. She is at her capacity. Syd is just on another levrl like Simone Biles, which us why all those gitls under her fell apart. The perdon to watch is Anna C. It is clear getting support from Muhhamd has improved her drastically,
The media have been pushing this false comparison--as you rightly pointed out, Sidney is in a class of her own--This Dutch woman is not even close to breaking into the 50 sec category
Yep. Sydney like Simone is in a league of her own.
I agree . People are still to be reminded what Sydney has done and just did.
Men's 400h will be a close race. Women's, just can Syd go faster, can Bol pb and bronze a close race.
Bassit have been offered a few contracts that he's turned down.
Muahammed and crockrell aren't traning partners, she left last year and trains in cali.
She left in the fall of 2023 to train with John Smith, but moved back to Boogie Johnson in May this year. Check the interview I did with her after the 400mH heats. She explained it.
Bassett isn't winning any medals. Trevor needs to win a medal 🏅 in order to get a deal
@couldbeanyone8174 Trevor already has an individual WC bronze medal and 2 individual indoor WC silver medals. Smh
I think Sydney is already the GOAT in the 400mH, so I'm not sure what the point of running in Paris is? Sure, a second gold would be a legacy that will likely stand for a long time, however (speaking as one of "those" presumptuous fans LOL) I don't understand why she doesn't go after the flat 400m record? For the good of track & field those tainted records from the 1980s need to be taken down and if she is clean then she is the generational talent to do the job.
As much as I admire SML, the humblebrag about it all being in God's hands is hard to take. Sure, be Christian, you do you... but it's a little arrogant to essentially be saying that she is the chosen one! She gets those times because SHE busts her ass in training... and doesn't God also have a plan for Femke Bol?
Femke Bol is admirable for being such a grinder... she does the relays, she races indoors, she went after and took down one of those tainted 1980s records (indoor 400m), so she deserves a legacy too but will probably be the Steve Young to SML's Joe Montana.
Unless Sydney has a personal time like under 50 seconds, that she has to prove to herself should she continue doing hurdles as outside of that it makes no sense to me. She need to start dominating the other areas like the 100mh, 200m and 400m now that will put her in a completely different universe and she proves she can do it. But this 400mh to me now is just mundane and we ALL know that she cannot be challenged in the hurdles so it's boring now.
