Sydney McLaughlin-Levrone, the 24-year-old Olympic champion, broke her own world record in the 400m hurdles at the U.S. Olympic Team Trials in Eugene with a time of 50.65 seconds.

This achievement marks her fifth world record in the event, solidifying her status as a top contender for a medal at the upcoming Paris Olympics.

Coach Bobby Kersee's strategic adjustments to her technique have significantly contributed to her success, allowing her to dominate both the hurdles and the flat 400 meters this year.

The U.S. team, featuring athletes like Noah Lyles, Sha'Carri Richardson, and Femke Bol, is expected to excel in sprints, hurdles, relays, middle distance, throws, and jumps at the Paris Olympics.

Despite challenges such as baton troubles in the 4x100 relay and injuries to key athletes like Ryan Crouser, the U.S. team is anticipated to secure multiple medals across various events in Paris.
