Sydney - 48.75!! Damn.

hate her for not competing much but wow, no bigger T&F talent in the world. unreal

“Damn”-what? Provide some context?

she just ran the most impressive 400m flat…. since the world record

She's shown up more than enough this season and every time given world class performances. Honestly don't know how anyone can be upset with her this season thus far.

So glad to see Syd with another great performance.

So nice to see the haters silenced again.

The main reason some wackos on here don't like her is because she’s a strong Christian and she often gives thanks to God.

When she does that it just drives them nuts!!

main reason people don't like her is cause she doesn't race enough.

Been alright this season, but she never leaves the States so the races she does run are a bit random and against mixed competition.

Nothing track fans would love more than to see her just do a full season on the circuit ala Jakob

yeah no one is saying the big names need to all be in every diamond league, but a sport that has a viewership problem needs its stars to show up to more than their trials and worlds/olympics. Seeing Mclaughlin vs Bol even at just maybe 2 DL events, olympic finals and DL finals would be awesome.

She’s already raced 6 times this season.

Thats the excuse they might use, but the underlying dislike is her outward Christianity.

Go back and read alot of the comments posted on here about her.

^ this

By my count she’s competed 7 times this season with 6 of this since the beginning of May. That’s more than a lot of others. People that say Syd isn’t competing must have her mixed up with Athing Mu.

I like Syd & Femke a lot. Both are great competitors and are the pinnacle of excellence. I just wish that they competed against each other more often than in the Olympics & the World Championships. I would like to see them square off in the 400, 400h, and in the same leg of a close 4x400.

48.75 at NYC Grand Prix in her season opener at 400. Just a tad off her 48.74 PB and Sanya’s 48.70 US record.

As mentioned on the broadcast, Sydney is now the fastest woman in the world so far this year at 400H and 400, and she’s second fastest at 200.

yamn

There are going to be a vocal few that bag on her for her Christianity but there are going to be people that bag on people no matter what. Haters hate. It’s just how it is.

Christianity isn’t my thing and it never will be because I’m a Jew and thus, not a Christian. If she wants to give “all the glory to God” after her races, that really shouldn’t bother people. She probably feels that her beliefs give her more power and she’s comfortable with being who she is. It shouldn’t matter and the majority of people probably couldn’t care less.

Nope. You'll just find another excuse for why she is bad for the sport.

where is this being streamed?

in my backyard

It was on NBC & Peacock. It’s over so you can probably catch YouTube clips of the individual events.

1)Season opener

2) Windy conditions

3) No real competition

Adds up to sub 48 for me.

The Olympic double is on the front burner now.

I must be missing something cause college athlete
Nickisha Pryce just ran 48.89 and didn't get own thread. No one even mentioned her here
