In the 2020 Tokyo Olympics, she went on to claim gold by setting a new world record of 51.46 in the process and dethroning Dalilah Muhammad, who had previously held the 400m hurdles world record and title.
The following year, McLaughlin-Levrone continued to shatter records and rewrite the history books, breaking her own world record not once, but twice. At the USATF Championships in Eugene, Oregon, she clocked a record time of 51.41 seconds and later at the 2022 World Championships, she crossed the finish line in a jaw-dropping 50.68 seconds, becoming the first woman to break the 51-second barrier in the 400m hurdles.
Sydney McLaughlin’s coach
Till now McLaughlin has worked with not one, two but four coaches. Mike McCabe was her first coach who worked with her from 2013 to 2017. Sydney, in 2017, joined hands with Edrick Floréal. However, their partnership lasted just a year and in 2018, McLaughlin appointed Joanna Hayes as her mentor.
She worked with Hayes for two years before bringing yet another change to her coaching setup in 2020 by appointing Bob Kersee in place of Hayes. Kersee has since immensely helped Sydney in honing her skills and the result is out there for everyone to see.
