Sydney McLaughlin-Levrone is set to compete in the 400m flat at the Miami Grand Slam Track meet, starting at 5:09 PM EDT (9:09 PM GMT). The event will be broadcast live on Peacock, CW, TNT, Eurosport, SuperSport, Rush Sports, L’Équipe, TBS, and PCCW.
McLaughlin-Levrone, renowned for her dominance in the 400m hurdles, has recently made significant strides in the 400m flat. At the 2023 U.S. Track and Field Championships, she clocked a personal best of 48.74 seconds, the fastest time globally that year, positioning her as the second-fastest American woman ever in the event.
Her performance at the 2024 Paris Olympics further solidified her status, where she set a new world record in the 400m hurdles with a time of 50.37 seconds.
Weather conditions in Miami are currently cloudy and humid, with temperatures around 78°F (26°C). Earlier in the day, heavy thunderstorms were reported, which could potentially impact track conditions.
Given her recent performances and current form, McLaughlin-Levrone is poised to deliver a remarkable race. While surpassing her personal best of 48.74 seconds would be a significant achievement, the current world record of 47.60 seconds, set by Marita Koch in 1985, remains a formidable benchmark.
Tune in to witness whether McLaughlin-Levrone can edge closer to this historic mark.
