Sydney gets destroyed!

SML flop, returning Naser, she will show herself later. Anna Hall 50.82 ! good time

I have to say and many will trivialize this, but this is what a season opener might look like, only its friggin June. Gotta run some races , seriously.

A lot of syd hate here. Her first race since an indoor 60h in early February and a 400 PB. Tough crowd.

The hate is because it should have never happened like this? Fricken race like once a month?? Even every 3months 😹

Dumb. Really f-ing dumb.

Exactly , one 60m in 9 months come on now, thats not even competing the sport

I don't blame her at all. It sounds like her coach controls everything. If you think this was ugly, she'll get better. OTOH Athing Mu will get murdered in the 1500.

Go away! She tried her best.

Rumor is, she's expecting.

Y’all are crazy. You say you want the superstars to run more races. SML opens her season with a solid time in a DL. You crap on her for not winning. Maybe appreciate that she’s back on the circuit and will continue progressing throughout the season

Time? Posts like this without any results are kinda hard to make heads or tails of.

Syd ran 49.7 for 2nd behind the winner of 49.1, Syd led through 300m

She spikes she wore had a thick chunky heel, she was possibly wearing a custom flat with a spike plate. Otherwise she was just wearing some NB flats

Are we actually going to pretend opening her season with 49.71 is bad?

Exactly. Runs a PB in her first race. Beats many of the top 400m open runners and she is the 400m Hurdle WR. Very good race for Syd.

400m hurdles strength (more similar to 800m strength) is totally different to 400m flat strength. Quite simple.

This seems like a decent race to me. The OP title "Sndney gets destroyed!" is misleading and kinda dumb. Should be edited to "Sydney has a decent season opener!"

To my eye, it looked almost like Sydney shut it down intentionally. Very relaxed form the last 100, especially compared to Paulino, who seems to be pounding through mud in the next lane. I dunno--I think we could see big things yet from Sydney in the 400 this year.

don't know why people are so concerned with this, it was a solid opener. Bol ran 50 low the other day and sure she looked more in control, but no one was complaining about that. First people complain that SML doesn't race enough and when she finally does, you claim she was "destroyed". Solid start and will round into form from here
