Twenty year old Sydney McLaughlin winning her semi-final of the 400m hurdles
in 53.81- compared to Dalilah Muhammad's 53.91 in another semi; thus setting up
a classic final, which is what happened. Dalilah just won, by half a metre, in a new
World Record of 52.16 (beating her own recent record) and Sydney became the second
fastest woman in history in the event, with her own best time.
Seven days later Sydney won a gold medal: in the 4x400m relay.
Two years later the world record fell to Sydney. See below.
