LOS ANGELES—Sydney McLaughlin-Levrone smashed her own 400m hurdles world record on Sunday to book her place at the Paris Olympics in sensational style at the US trials in Eugene, Oregon.
The 24-year-old’s victory sees her safely through to her third Olympic Games after appearances at the 2016 Rio Games and pandemic-delayed Tokyo Games. Benjamin hammered down the back straight to build an early lead and then flew out of the final bend with an injection of pace to torch the field, crossing around 10m ahead of his nearest rivals, C.J. Allen and Trevor Bassitt .
“I can’t even talk right now, I’ve got so many emotions because this has been the hardest season of my life,” the 24-year-old Russell said after her victory.
