American Sydney McLaughlin produced one of the greatest track performances of all time on Friday by shattering her own 400 metres hurdles world record to win World Championships gold.
The Olympic champion charged home in 50.68 seconds, slashing 0.73 off her previous mark of 51.41 set at the same springy Hayward Field last month and becoming the first woman to run under 51 seconds in the event.Register now for FREE unlimited access to Reuters.com"We knew warming up that it was going to be one of those days," McLaughlin said after winning her first individual World Championships title.
It was the sixth time in three years that the world record has been broken, after Russian Yulia Pechonkina's mark had stood for 16 years. McLaughlin charged out of the blocks and by the 100 metres mark already had the lead over Muhammad, who had held the world record as recently as June 2021.
