With less than an hour until Sydney McLaughlin-Levrone takes the track at the Miami Grand Slam Track meet, anticipation is high for her performance in the 400m hurdles. The race is scheduled to start at 5:42 PM EDT (9:42 PM GMT), and will be broadcast live on Peacock, CW, TNT, Eurosport, SuperSport, Rush Sports, L’Équipe, TBS, and PCCW.
McLaughlin-Levrone, the reigning Olympic champion and world record holder, has consistently pushed the boundaries of the 400m hurdles. She set a new world record of 50.37 seconds at the 2024 Paris Olympics, surpassing her previous best of 50.65 seconds achieved at the U.S. Olympic Trials.
In her 2024 season opener at the Edwin Moses Classic in Atlanta, McLaughlin-Levrone posted a world-leading time of 52.70 seconds, despite it being her first 400m hurdles race in nearly two years. She expressed satisfaction with the performance, noting areas for improvement and emphasizing her focus on progression and health.
Given her current form and the favorable weather conditions in Miami mostly cloudy skies with temperatures around 82°F (28°C) and a light breeze McLaughlin-Levrone is well-positioned to deliver another remarkable performance. While breaking her own world record tonight may be ambitious, a time in the low 51-second range is within reach, especially considering her unparalleled speed and technique.
Tune in to witness whether McLaughlin-Levrone will once again redefine excellence in the 400m hurdles.
