$3500 for a lap?

Syd got at least 100k just to show up.

Money grab here . 51.6 still pretty fast . 3500 , more like 35000 all in !

Ok ok ok, yep, she turned pro for that $$$$$$$. I know, shocking.

Nobody;s top 10 times/marks in their event any more impressive than what she is doing.

Remind me who her coach is again?

Ah yes, the man who took women to 10.49 & 7291. Who took a mediocre 52+ woman to 48.8, who turned average 100m hurdlers to super fast champions.

He's doing well. What's his secret?

After the 4x400, the US girls were afraid to hug her and celebrate. That was the most ho-hum celebration ever, especially compared to the 4x100.

Good for her.

Why is she ending her season so early, after just four track meets?

She's keeping the sport fun and building her brand. World Record holder that races 4 times a season and almost guarantees a WR? Her appearance fees must be ridiculous! Go Syd!

Do give you something to do with your life?

Sydney, Keep it fun and break this WR next Winter. We would love to see it !!

Because she doesn't like to race. Seriously.

To get to work on her next event (100H, LJ, 400). She's bored with just running the 400H, as are becoming many running fans with her in general.
