@@Keepdapocket. Don,t think so. Femke, the latest runs on purpose didn,t used her after burners ,just to safe them for the Olympics. In Paris Femke will go full mode . Just staying behind Sydney until the last 80 meters before opening the full power gear.
Actually, she has broken the 49s in 400m this year and was going to compete in it at trials but instead she chose to focus on the 400mH. Smart move, hence the new WR.
She's just so much faster than everyone. Seems like she could do other hurdle distances and 200/400 meter sprints, and just clean up at the Olympic like Michael Phelps.
I've got a problem. I'm a fan of both. I literally don't want to see either lose. OK, yeah we know that's gotta happen, so there's that. I can't fault your statement... as much as Femke has improved massively, it seems Sydney can just go to a higher plane.

For more than a year we had to endure the sports MSM in unision hailing Bol as all conquering. So it was delicious when Sydney reeled her in and blew by her with a new record and plenty of empty space at her back.
@@samsonnzimande8644 What nonsense. I gave credit, I said she dropped the hammer. And apparently you don't care about fact checking. Bol ran 50.95s on July 14th.
@@samsonnzimande8644 Writing "you're lying" when it's true that Bol took up the challenge and closed the gap down to 0.3s, doesn't really look like "coming in piece", though.
If you can run the 400 hurdles you can run almost any sprint. That's what my coach use to say 😜 I think he was just trying to hype me for the Mile relay 😂. She's very talented.
I’m confused, Femke Bol was not in any of these races? So how exactly has Levrone “dropped the hammer on Femke Bol? If you want to make a video about Levrone’s remarkable progression in her 400m hurdling career, fine. But don’t throw another runner into the headline when she wasn’t in any of these races. Good sportsmanship applies to video producers and commentators as well.
Check out there PB's this year. That's what they mean by dropping the hammer. Femkes PB is 51.45, Sydney 50.65, that's a .80 second hammer. You can almost guarantee Sydney will run faster than that at the Olympics barring injury.
@@robertstanford1778yeah could be but don’t underestimate the power of competition. Both didn’t need to do much to become the winner till now. I think both will be at their top level in Paris and a world record Will be beaten again. But I think it could be by either one of them. The olympics do something in their mind which nobody can explain unless you compete in it yourself.
@@robertstanford1778 Yeah except Bol caught the hammer as she narrowed the gap down to 0.3s. And judging from her reaction as she finished, I think she can go faster. I still think McLaughlin has the best chances, but she'll have to really fight for it.
She has gotten the most out of her body and physical abilities. Whatever she accomplishes from here, she is magnificent. More of us could benefit from training sleds, btw.
As an old track guy who ran at a pretty high level back in the day, I can say we've never....I mean never...seen a track athlete like her. She's already more dominant than Usain Bolt or Michael Johnson. Her times simply make no sense. And she just turned 24!
Thank heavens we have sydney and bol to look forward to, looks like in the 100 mt the guys are fighting to go below 10 secs, no threats to bolts records.
@sharkei1987uft It is not so bad to do that but it is advised against. It's called being redundant. You, in fact, show the same characteristic. You wrote: "the commentary is repetitive" and "repeats several times" indicating you are also being repetitive.
That’s really great that she broke an indoor world record. Unfortunately the Olympics are not indoors. Plus the last time these two met outdoors, Sydney beat her by 20 meters. I do wish Femke the best because she’s a great talent, it’s just going to be a tall order for her.
Sydney McLaughlin-Levrone in interview: "Femke Bol is a phenomenal athlete. She pushes me to be my best, and I love that we are pushing the boundaries of the sport".
Athletics Rewind- The first part of this video was nice, the second part is like dodo! For you have to watch 8 video clips before we saw her cross the finish line to see the distance between her and Anna C.
daam if she had put the gas to the floor at 200m mark and not the 150m, she would have really close to 50. there was way more in the tank at the finish, this is the thing she knows she is changing in to the paris final and we will see something amazing thats for sure
@@efisgpr She has never NOT done 15 steps in the last segments. Her first 14-stride pattern was 5 hurdles 14 steps, 5 hurdles 15 steps. During her 50.68 WR she ran 7 hurdles 14 steps and the remaining 3 in 15 steps. So yes, she was a bit shocked, but probably because she didn't expect a WR this early in her season and by the looks of it she did it with a lot less effort than last time ...
I love track & field! But, there have been 6 must-watch athletes for me if they were competing: Michael Jordan, Tiger Woods, Michael Phelps, Usain Bolt, Roger Federer, and Sydney. Excellence and dominance by all.
You're supposed to be talking about "Sydney McLaughlin DROPS THE HAMMER On Femke Bol" and you go back years to some other person and race? What are you doing?
She is a beautiful, absolute beast of a hurdler. I imagine if you watched her at ultra slow speed you might fibd a fault, but in real time she is perfection.
Her husband is a former NFL WR so he's all about speed and power. It makes me wonder if she won't start intensifying her focus on power and gravitate towards the 100m and 200m after this Olympics. It would be a whole new challenge for her where the spotlight shines brightest as these champions are widely recognized as the fastest humans on the planet. That's pretty lofty air to walk in but we all know being recognized as "The Fastest Woman Alive" won't be enough; especially when she knows that 10.48 makes her the fastest woman who's ever lived. She clocked 11.07 in the 100m in 2018. 11.07. Think about it. That is only .56 seconds off the world record and she has never professionally trained for it. Plus, she has become considerably faster and more powerful with her intensified training pursuing 400m perfection. I'll bet she can run high 10.6s within the first month of a switch over. At a recent meet, she dipped her toe into the short sprint pool participating in the 200m alongside Sha' Carri and some of the other big names in professional track. Not only did she make the finals, she won the whole damned thing with a respectable time. Interesting. Pack 10 lbs. on to her upper legs and butt from thousands of deep, full squats and road bicycling work and watch out world. While we'll be eyeing Flo-Jo's unapproachable 10.49 world record she'll be pushing herself to the limit each and everyday believing she can shock even the Gods atop Mt.Olympus when they see those three red numbers lit up that read, "9.99!". Many would be quick to doubt that possibility but I'll bet few would be certain enough to put a chunk of money on it. She's special.
No disrespect but her husband has nothing to do with her improvement. She has a great coach, Bobby Kearse. Allyson Felix's coach before she retired. Allyson is also her mentor
Sydney focusing on the 100m would be the worst thing for her the 400m is her best bet for LA in 2028 and maybe do some 200m races too and see how that goes. She already would be a favorite to win Gold in the 400m if she had chosen to run that race in Paris and the 200m is a possibility too in the future but the 100m might be to much of a reach and she needs to focus on the 400 and 200 post Olympics.

My only question for now is, will they be matched or even approached at by newcomers in the foreseeable future? They stand MILES above the level of their collegues and competators.
@Gator-xi2jq Femke is used to losing to Leverone. After the Worlds Bol said, “She was so far in front at the end, I was almost doubting if I really had a good race," Bol said after that one. "Then, I saw the time and I thought, ‘Wow, that explains a lot.’”

Many of these athletes are professionals with sponsors. Why do they have to safety pin paper name sheets to their uniforms like school children. The companies that provide the clothing could print the name directly on the clothing like is done in some many other sports.
T&F is not like most sports, far from it, and it's totally normal in T&F rather than how you label it. More importantly, as you could have seen multiple times, the bibs don't just show the athlete's name. They tell you about the meet/ tournament plus its main sponsor(s). Like at 2:34 it says DOHA 2019 (World Championships) and QNB. And obviously the organisation often wants to distinguish itself with the design of the bibs. Some meets / tournaments use chips on the bibs for call room check in and/or GPS location, linked to live standings on screen during the longer distances. Plus various organisations use bibs with colours signifying the defending champion, or the leader in the tournament (combined events) or leader(s) in the series (Diamond League) and whatnot. T&F is pretty much unique. Plus the tradition of bibs kinda has something imo.
@Terry-du3vc they do have the same trainer. That's not the argument. The nature of the race is the argument. Sidney won't fall like Mu because they don't run bunched together like they do in the 800. She could clip a hurdle and fall, but that would require a mental and technical breakdown that would be totally out of character.
@Aviateor Winx has two thoroughbred parents so her lineage is purebred going back many generations. Her record was not perfect but she won 37 of 43 races. Leverone has one parent of European descent and the other is African American which means it is likely that Leverone is of slightly more European descent than African.
Well this girl Femke Bol spoke very badly of Sydney Mclaughlin as if she was better. Why didn't she prove that she was better than The Beautifuly, Sydney, it was seen that is the fastest running; without a scientific like Femke, who abuses her in her Country, Sydney Mclaughlin LeBron is daughter of God Christ Jesus may he always bless Her.❤🏃♀️🥇🙏

Without Muhamad , I don't think Sydney would have pushed herself as hard. Remember , Jimmy Connors brought out the BEST In McEnroe! This is the same. Cheers to all!
Not likely. She's still young, she just went under 51s, her reaction gave me the idea she has more to give, and she can still improve her hurdling technique.
Comment by Femke in recent interview. If I don't win in the Paris Olympics, I know I have more work to do.... In other words: Femke can improve further and she is not going away!
it was .03 (the screen said 50.67 but the official time was 50.65) but I get your point about "smashing" But to be able to improve your WR 4 times is really a remarkable effort and a testament to good training and good injury management.
NOPE‼Bolt NEVER broke a world record 5 times and counting😳⁉And so EASILY🤨⁉Bolt actually only ran sub 9.7 on 3 occasions with 2 of those being world records‼ THIS IS NOT NORMAL 😐‼I am not jumping to conclusions but no one can argue that this is 'normal' ‼😐

Actually, she has broken the 49s in 400m this year and was going to compete in it at trials but instead she chose to focus on the 400mH. Smart move, hence the new WR.
She's just so much faster than everyone. Seems like she could do other hurdle distances and 200/400 meter sprints, and just clean up at the Olympic like Michael Phelps.

Femke Bol is a great athlete, but she has never been on the same level as Sydney
FACTS
I've got a problem. I'm a fan of both. I literally don't want to see either lose. OK, yeah we know that's gotta happen, so there's that. I can't fault your statement... as much as Femke has improved massively, it seems Sydney can just go to a higher plane.
However, I will say, don't forget the old sports idiom: "There's a reason they play the game."
@@peterf1 "There's a reason they play the game." In this instance, Bol is not even in the same game. No rivalry ever existed, but artificially created to sell tickets.
Yeah, but she is white.
Nobody is on Sydney's level. Once in a generation athlete.
She've set a world record time of 50.37 at Paris2024 in the 400m hurdles.
Great work ethic, she's such a workhorse - Go Sydney!!
For more than a year we had to endure the sports MSM in unision hailing Bol as all conquering. So it was delicious when Sydney reeled her in and blew by her with a new record and plenty of empty space at her back.

If she can do under 50.00 400mH she can certainly finally break the 47.6 400m flat record.
If you can run the 400 hurdles you can run almost any sprint. That's what my coach use to say 😜 I think he was just trying to hype me for the Mile relay 😂. She's very talented.
I’m confused, Femke Bol was not in any of these races? So how exactly has Levrone “dropped the hammer on Femke Bol? If you want to make a video about Levrone’s remarkable progression in her 400m hurdling career, fine. But don’t throw another runner into the headline when she wasn’t in any of these races.
Good sportsmanship applies to video producers and commentators as well.
Bol was in the 2021 Olympic race and the 2022 wc race. She got dusted in both.
Check out there PB's this year. That's what they mean by dropping the hammer. Femkes PB is 51.45, Sydney 50.65, that's a .80 second hammer. You can almost guarantee Sydney will run faster than that at the Olympics barring injury.
@@robertstanford1778yeah could be but don’t underestimate the power of competition. Both didn’t need to do much to become the winner till now.

@@joey402 Bol has never come close to beating Sydney. She’s running for 2nd place.
@@robertstanford1778 Yeah except Bol caught the hammer as she narrowed the gap down to 0.3s. And judging from her reaction as she finished, I think she can go faster. I still think McLaughlin has the best chances, but she'll have to really fight for it.
She has gotten the most out of her body and physical abilities. Whatever she accomplishes from here, she is magnificent. More of us could benefit from training sleds, btw.
Such a humble human being ❤
As an old track guy who ran at a pretty high level back in the day, I can say we've never....I mean never...seen a track athlete like her. She's already more dominant than Usain Bolt or Michael Johnson. Her times simply make no sense. And she just turned 24!
We will see in Paris 😂❤ love for Femke
You better expect Sydney levrone world record again
@melvinekerubo1535 we will see, it would be amazing .

She has such a beautiful stride. Her body is born to run. Beautiful to watch.
SHE makes it look easy! 😮
Thank heavens we have sydney and bol to look forward to, looks like in the 100 mt the guys are fighting to go below 10 secs, no threats to bolts records.
Sydney is a marksman in this event and will eventually next season go sub-50 seconds in the 400 meters hurdles.
Great video about Sydney, but the commentary is repetitive and literally repeats several times.
@sharkei1987uft It is not so bad to do that but it is advised against. It's called being redundant. You, in fact, show the same characteristic. You wrote: "the commentary is repetitive" and "repeats several times" indicating you are also being repetitive.
@@vernonfrance2974 nice to see you saw the redundancy in my response....ha
That’s really great that she broke an indoor world record. Unfortunately the Olympics are not indoors. Plus the last time these two met outdoors, Sydney beat her by 20 meters. I do wish Femke the best because she’s a great talent, it’s just going to be a tall order for her.
You are referring to 2 years ago, before Femke switched to the 14 step stride in 2023. Since then Femke has closed the gap to 0.3 seconds.
Sydney is amazing!!
Gold awaits her in Paris. It's just a question of another WR or not.

Ever heard of Femke Bol?
@@peterkonings9084 Sure.
Sydney McLaughlin-Levrone in interview: "Femke Bol is a phenomenal athlete. She pushes me to be my best, and I love that we are pushing the boundaries of the sport".
Athletics Rewind- The first part of this video was nice, the second part is like dodo! For you have to watch 8 video clips before we saw her cross the finish line to see the distance between her and Anna C.
daam if she had put the gas to the floor at 200m mark and not the 150m, she would have really close to 50. there was way more in the tank at the finish, this is the thing she knows she is changing in to the paris final and we will see something amazing thats for sure
She did 15 steps on the last few segments.
That's why she was shocked.
49.9 coming
@@efisgpr She has never NOT done 15 steps in the last segments.
Her first 14-stride pattern was 5 hurdles 14 steps, 5 hurdles 15 steps.
During her 50.68 WR she ran 7 hurdles 14 steps and the remaining 3 in 15 steps.
So yes, she was a bit shocked, but probably because she didn't expect a WR this early in her season and by the looks of it she did it with a lot less effort than last time ...
I love track & field! But, there have been 6 must-watch athletes for me if they were competing: Michael Jordan, Tiger Woods, Michael Phelps, Usain Bolt, Roger Federer, and Sydney. Excellence and dominance by all.
Sydney never competes so people will never be able to beat her.
Femke just did 50,95
You're supposed to be talking about "Sydney McLaughlin DROPS THE HAMMER On Femke Bol" and you go back years to some other person and race? What are you doing?
Hammer Throw hammer I think they are talking about? Dropping it on Femke's foot perhaps before the start of the race to where Femke had to drop out?
MCLAUGHLIN'S RULE!
She is a beautiful, absolute beast of a hurdler. I imagine if you watched her at ultra slow speed you might fibd a fault, but in real time she is perfection.
She’s the best there is no doubt about let’s gooooooo USA USA 🇺🇸
She is perfection
@scotthall3644 Nobody is perfect.
She said she suffered from her perfection. There are two sides to every coin.
Sydney is fantastic, Alex (UK)
Her husband is a former NFL WR so he's all about speed and power. It makes me wonder if she won't start intensifying her focus on power and gravitate towards the 100m and 200m after this Olympics.
It would be a whole new challenge for her where the spotlight shines brightest as these champions are widely recognized as the fastest humans on the planet.
That's pretty lofty air to walk in but we all know being recognized as "The Fastest Woman Alive" won't be enough; especially when she knows that 10.48 makes her the fastest woman who's ever lived.
She clocked 11.07 in the 100m in 2018. 11.07. Think about it. That is only .56 seconds off the world record and she has never professionally trained for it. Plus, she has become considerably faster and more powerful with her intensified training pursuing 400m perfection. I'll bet she can run high 10.6s within the first month of a switch over.
At a recent meet, she dipped her toe into the short sprint pool participating in the 200m alongside Sha' Carri and some of the other big names in professional track. Not only did she make the finals, she won the whole damned thing with a respectable time. Interesting. Pack 10 lbs. on to her upper legs and butt from thousands of deep, full squats and road bicycling work and watch out world. While we'll be eyeing Flo-Jo's unapproachable 10.49 world record she'll be pushing herself to the limit each and everyday believing she can shock even the Gods atop Mt.Olympus when they see those three red numbers lit up that read, "9.99!".
Many would be quick to doubt that possibility but I'll bet few would be certain enough to put a chunk of money on it. She's special.
No disrespect but her husband has nothing to do with her improvement. She has a great coach, Bobby Kearse. Allyson Felix's coach before she retired. Allyson is also her mentor
Because her husband ain’t her coach.
Sydney focusing on the 100m would be the worst thing for her the 400m is her best bet for LA in 2028 and maybe do some 200m races too and see how that goes. She already would be a favorite to win Gold in the 400m if she had chosen to run that race in Paris and the 200m is a possibility too in the future but the 100m might be to much of a reach and she needs to focus on the 400 and 200 post Olympics.

Bol your about to be 2nd at the Olympics
@Gator-xi2jq Femke is used to losing to Leverone. After the Worlds Bol said, “She was so far in front at the end, I was almost doubting if I really had a good race," Bol said after that one. "Then, I saw the time and I thought, ‘Wow, that explains a lot.’”
@@vernonfrance2974 Exactly! Bol knows she’s not on the same level as Syd. Not that she’s not a great athlete in her own right, a world class athlete to be sure. But Sydney is just….

Sidney gives all glory to God.
Many of these athletes are professionals with sponsors. Why do they have to safety pin paper name sheets to their uniforms like school children. The companies that provide the clothing could print the name directly on the clothing like is done in some many other sports.
T&F is not like most sports, far from it, and it's totally normal in T&F rather than how you label it. More importantly, as you could have seen multiple times, the bibs don't just show the athlete's name. They tell you about the meet/ tournament plus its main sponsor(s). Like at 2:34 it says DOHA 2019 (World Championships) and QNB. And obviously the organisation often wants to distinguish itself with the design of the bibs. Some meets / tournaments use chips on the bibs for call room check in and/or GPS location, linked to live standings on screen during the longer distances.
Plus various organisations use bibs with colours signifying the defending champion, or the leader in the tournament (combined events) or leader(s) in the series (Diamond League) and whatnot.
T&F is pretty much unique. Plus the tradition of bibs kinda has something imo.
She eliminated all body fat
Imagine breaking the world record with a 52s .. lol .. it seems so slow given the standard Sydney has set.

Not true. Everyone in the heats and in the finals is her competitor. If Mu can fall down so can Leverone. They do have the same trainer.
@@vernonfrance2974Mu doesn’t run the hurdles, so they don’t have the same trainer . And Sydney isn’t Mu .
@Terry-du3vc they do have the same trainer. That's not the argument. The nature of the race is the argument. Sidney won't fall like Mu because they don't run bunched together like they do in the 800. She could clip a hurdle and fall, but that would require a mental and technical breakdown that would be totally out of character.

Winx has two thoroughbred parents so her lineage is purebred going back many generations. Her record was not perfect but she won 37 of 43 races.

Not likely. She's still young, she just went under 51s, her reaction gave me the idea she has more to give, and she can still improve her hurdling technique.

I don't believe .01 seconds is smashing a record but okay
it was .03 (the screen said 50.67 but the official time was 50.65)
