Did we see the first sub 40sec 400m?

BOOM!!!
Sydney McLaughlin = Fastest female HS 400m split of all-time on this planet.
This is not a big surprise.

By my calculations, her effort was worth a 37.4 split.
IDIOT
She ran most of the race in lane two so subtract .45 for every step she took with a relaxed look on her face.
MORON
She looked like she could have eaten dinner about an hour earlier, so subtract another 7.3 seconds.
^^^^^^^^^

Almost every football player get a girl pregnant at 17-18 and she won't agree to that.
Actually, she already has agreed to that with a guy and got it aborted. She's a female track star. Of course she's had an abortion
I could be mistaken, but I believe at NBON they put a little chip in the baton - so it's read much the way chip timing is for a road race. So it is FAT. However, as someone pointed out, she is reaching back to get the baton, so her torso may be a meter or so ahead of the baton when it crosses the line. It's not completely accurate, but it is fully automatic - which is some clown with a stopwatch...

There is no such thing as FAT splits.

No, teams supplied their own batons. They just use the pictures from the finishlynx camera.
LOL at the nincompoops who can't do basic math:
49.85 + 0.7 (relay to open) -0.7 (running in lane 2) = ???
And "no such thing as FAT relay split"...have you even seen a track meet before?
Talent and good coaching is the key. It is usually hard to believe when the 17 years old East Africans run 1:44 or 3:35 (800/1500) or low 9s in steeple chase for girls due to the age verification but Sydney clearly proves that it is possible. Or is anyone here willing to take her credit away?

She ran the whole thing in lane 2. Insane. She can be the future world record holder of both 400 and 400h. Doped up Koch is going down!!!
I seriously doubt she will ever come close to Koch's record, Sidney simply does not have the raw speed. I am not sure she can break Sanya's 4000m HSR. Sidney has good speed and great strength, she will get stronger over time and become a legit sub-50 type, but her raw speed is unlikely to improve much. Sidney choose the right event, the 400h, which she has tremendous upside in. Her 400m times are amazing considering her hurdling is only average even for a H.S. athlete. Btw, the women's hurdles are so low that the best 400 hurdler is almost always the one with the best 400m flat time.
On what planet does 49.85 not compete with 50.69?

Yeah man like all pretty female track athletes.

http://www.tilastopaja.com/db/at.php?Sex=1&ID=273706Track and field is in great shape with young talent.
Always take the Kenyan results with a lot cautiion. Improper age, drugs oftent the case.
So it begs to be asked... how fast could she run 800m??
Lol why are you speculating about who she'll end up with?
She could have made the team in the 400, relay pool at very least. She is not technically developed for the 400H yet.
Serious question- I understand that they take splits from the FinishLynx system. Are the splits read from the runner or the baton? I assume baton because it crosses the line just once whereas an incoming runner/outgoing runner would (ideally)each cross the line in each exchange. I know when I hand-time relays I time the baton, I just wasn't sure if that's how FAT does it as well. I guess it could be dependent if who's reading/interpreting the image.
I don't know, but they could do either, and the torso would be more consistent.

Except that if you take it from the outgoing runners' torsos, you've missed the torsos of the incoming runners. So, maybe the baton is the most fair way to split the difference (pun intended).
No. Each runner gets a different split based on torso, just like a sprint photo finish. Easy to do. Baton can be off depending on when the exchange is made, and where it is with respect to arm swing cycle.
