What did Usain Bolt do?
Broke a WR , making it so easy, and won Gold?
That's exactly what McLaughlin is going to do, if healthy.
Bolt took the 100m WR from 9.74 to 9.72. He then improved it to 9.69 and 9.58 on the biggest stages.
The W 400mH record is 52.34. Sydney has run 52.75. What she has to do is break the WR in Doha, then in Tokyo 2020 Final, and then anchor the US W 4 x 400m to Gold. If Sydney scares sub-52, watch out. It will become a "thing."
What you don't understand is that the TV broadcasts will dictate what you see - you will see stories on Sydney and make the 400m Hurdle Final Primetime viewing. The 100m in Women's will be an afterthought. There will be more replays of Sydney winning the 400m Hurdles throughout the broadcasts.
