LRC Note. When the thread was started, the OP didn't know that one of the hurdles was in the wrong spot. Once it became known, we then merged the threads on the race into 1 and changed the title.
Ridiculous! Almost a WR and she stutter-stepped 3 times? If she blows away everyone this year and sets another WR, she should try the 400m, 800m, and anything else she desires. Let's see what Femke Bol does tomorrow in Hengelo, her first 400m hurdles race as well.

McLaughlin has got to be the 2nd fastest 400 flat runner in the world right now, only behind Miller-Uibo.
I bet Kersee has her run a 400 flat this year after the World Championships.
This was a great opportunity to run fast, without having Nike pressure and diminish non Nike runners at Pre . USA needs at Diamond League event that isn't plagued with USATF and Nike executives .
Now that I am looking at it, it is blatantly clear that the 5th or 6th hurdle is in the incorrect spot. Her stride pattern went from 14’s to a 16 to a 13. That means the hurdle was in the wrong place. Will this count?

Hate to break it to you, but Nike provides most of the track money in the United States. You might not like Nike as a company, but without their money professional track and field in the United States would be much worse off.
I’m seeing speculative reports that it might not count because a couple of hurdles were misplaced? Can anyone there confirm or deny? Seems incredible if true.

Speculative reports from who exactly? Someone who actually knows what they are talking about? Or some random person with a good imagination?
That time so close to her WR with multiple stutter steps is surprising indeed. She also looked bigger in thighs, so maybe she’s been weight training and is a stronger sprinter now.
