Our Athletes Deserve Better - Sydney McLaughlin-Levrone's Coach Slams Grand Slam Track Cancellation
Bob Kersee has voiced frustration over the cancellation of the LA Grand Slam Track Meet.
The performance followed a strong start to her season that included double golds in the mixed and women’s 4x400m relays at the European Indoor Championships, both in record times.
“We have so many fast girls. We have the four fastest women in history, all competing at the same time. It's an era to be in and I think I enjoy it so much. And it's great to see so many people enjoying the corner hurdles,” Bol said in her post-race interview, visibly energized by the high-caliber competition.
Bol’s admiration is particularly directed at Sydney McLaughlin-Levrone, who recently made headlines yet again by defending her Olympic title in Paris, breaking her own world record for the sixth time with a stunning 50.37s performance.
McLaughlin-Levrone also anchored the U.S. women’s 4x400m relay team to gold, cementing her place as the sport’s dominant force.

Athletics Kenya Justifies Hosting Trials for World Championships in the US
Barnaba Korir has defended Athletics Kenya's decision to hold the 5000m and 10,000m trials in the US.
Her coach, Bobby Kersee, voiced his frustration: “Deeply disappointed about the cancellation of the L.A. Grand Slam track meet. Over four decades in this sport, I've watched too many promising initiatives fall short due to organizational challenges, particularly from lack of corporate sponsorship. Our athletes are world-class. They train hard and deserve better.”
Despite the disappointment, McLaughlin-Levrone’s season has been nothing short of historic.
Her Olympic triumphs and standout performances across the Grand Slam Track circuit earned her the 2024 World Athletics Female Athlete of the Year award.
“To be part of this era, running with women like Sydney and Dalilah, it makes every second on the track feel like a privilege,” she noted.
