The final had been billed as a triple-threat clash, pitting the former 400m hurdles world record holder against the reigning Olympic 400m champion, Marileidy Paulino of the Dominican Republic, and the 2019 World Champion, Salwa Eid Naser of Bahrain. From the gun, the race lived up to its heavyweight billing.

Despite her world records and mind-blowing talent, Sydney McLaughlin-Levrone added that she does not believe she has run the perfect race yet.
"I don't think it exists. Maybe the one where you set a world record. I love all the races, the 200, the 400, and the hurdle,” she revealed.

Sydney McLaughlin-Levrone’s relentless pursuit of both the 400m and 400m hurdles world records sends a clear message to rivals like Marileidy Paulino and Salwa Eid Naser that she is not only here to dominate but to redefine the future of women’s sprinting.
