For what purpose? What did the other runners in the race run? Or perhaps they should only raise the hurdles in her lane? Heck, why not add 5 or 10 more hurdles to her lane. Coz if they were to raise the hurdles, other women will start running 1.5mins for the hurdles or run around them.
What were the records before Sydney and Delilah came along?
Kindly do not penalize this gorgeous, beautiful, stunning spectacular runner because she's a prodigy. She is realizing her full potential. Celebrate her success and the marvelous display of athleticism we are seeing from this stunning young lady.
Amazing, amazing performance. I'm surprised at all the comments about her affect; I think she was overwhelmed by what she had just done. Hats off to her!!!
Overwhelmed and exhausted. Watch her fingers shaking and twitching. She couldn't get up off the track. That was an all out run.
Frankly she's just painful to watch; if I was a deep pocketed sponsor I honestly wouldn't care how fast she is. Her on track persona is incredibly unattractive; just robotic.
This is the truth. Sydney is bad for the sport. She’s a complete bore to the point I can’t root for her/ could care less about her success
There's no pleasing you sh!ts is there? Lyles does his antics, he's too arrogant and he's hated. Sydney does none, she's hated. What the hell do you twats want? Why don't you mofos go out and do what Sydney and Lyles have just done. Dumbarses.

Actually that person probably loved Lyle's antics. The "good for the sport" behavior people tend to be the same people that talk about how great Sha'Carri's ridiculousness is for the sport. They want to see outrageous antics, not great athleticism.
You MF's are late with the MF (her previous WR was downplayed) but with her performance and drana free life and morals. She deserves the attention and recognition you give someone that lives for drama. Sydney MF McLaughlin!
Definitely still trying to wrap my head around the post race “celebration”… no one can know what that feels like and it does feel trivial to try to… but what was going on there?
Had the same impression. Her reaction seemed strange. She looked numb. Hopefully an incorrect assessment and she’s fine.
I liked that she gave it her all and couldn't get up for a while.
I also liked that she didn't stick her tongue out and make make a bunch of gestures. I still appreciate the talent of those who do, but I wish they'd be a bit more dignified. I remember when Lyles would do a little dance that was better than this years celebration.
Some letsrun posters are disappointed with Sydney’s post race reaction. They were really disappointed that she didn’t rip her top off like Noah. they deflect their disappointment and misdiagnose Sydney’s reaction as being sullen or bored.
I'm thinkin this girl has a future in this sport.....Seriously, she looked effortless. Such an exciting time right now with the young beast talent we have in the U.S. 400mH, mid-d....loaded with potential. Even our women distance & marathoners are kicking tail and showing up on the international stage to compete.
Phelps is retired. Tiger, LeBron and Serena are past their primes. Is it possible that Sydney is better at her sport than any other current American athlete?
I could entertain an argument for KD or Ledecky but who else?
