That made her the first woman to run sub-51.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So in a span of a year, McLaughlin made history twice and set world records four times.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To make her new world record even more impressive, her time would put her in seventh place in the open 400m at the World Championships. That&#8217;s only 1.5 seconds behind Bahamian World Champion, Shaunae Miller-Uibo, who won the event in 49.11.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And Sydney is only 22!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you still can&#8217;t appreciate these feats, try this.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Run five city blocks at top speed in under one minute. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Now add hurdles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Admit it. You can&#8217;t do either. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Sydney McLaughlin&#8217;s new world record stunned everyone, including long-time track commentators Sanya Richards-Ross and Ato Boldin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;This is absolutely the performance of a lifetime,&#8221; said Richards-Ross. &#8220;Have you seen anything better?&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;I have never witnessed anything like this before,&#8221; exclaimed Boldin who along with Richards-Ross, was still on a high from what they watched. &#8220;The old world record that she set here before, a couple of weeks ago in June, was one of the best performances in the sport. This 50.6 that she ran tonight, she&#8217;s getting up there now with 9.5 for Bolt, and 19.19 and some of the best performances ever.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;I think it&#8217;s the best performance I have EVER witnessed in all my years of watching the sport.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Boldin is spot on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">After watching Team USA sweep both the men&#8217;s 100m and 200m, something that hasn&#8217;t been done since 1904, and seeing Team Jamaica continue their dominance in the women&#8217;s 100m and 200m, this rises above them both.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And that&#8217;s no slight to any of those competitors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Think about this.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If McLaughlin drops another .7 seconds from her blistering world record-setting time, she would challenge the elite 400m runners like the aforementioned Olympic champion, Shaunae Miller-Uibo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">According to her coach, she has her sights on that challenge next.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">After witnessing what Sydney did on Friday night, we think she&#8217;ll win that race too.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>On Friday night, after Sydney McLaughlin crossed the finish line in the women&#8217;s 400m hurdles at the World Championships, not a soul left the stadium.
