- Marileidy Paulino dominated the 2024 season by winning Olympic Gold in 48.17 seconds, making her the 4th fastest woman ever over 400m. But even more importantly, she has been leading arguably the greatest generation of 400m running since the 1980s.

For a greater appreciation and understanding of the sport, these kind of breakdowns are needed. Keep up the great work!
Really do appreciate that!
Definitely a great and insightful overview of the W 400m. It seems that Paulino is slowly getting the respect she deserves for her consistency.
Appreciate you! Yea wanted to make sure I could give Paulino some shine considering she had such an amazing season that has gotten a bit overlooked
Great video. I love the stats. Keep doing what you're doing, bro. Nuff love from the Caribbean Federation of St.Kitts and Nevis 🇰🇳
Yes without question they are several of the 10 all-time active with all in their prime except one being Shaunae
Yea its kind of crazy, all of them running fast at the same time and will have more years to continue getting better
@@TheFinalLeg facts
The women's 400m, to me, is the most exciting event in women's track and field today. Looking at how many outstanding established runners like, Paulino, Kaczmarek, Nasir, and Adeleke there are several outstanding young talent on the horizon like, Nickisha Price and possibly a return of Britton Wilson. With possible cross-over stars like McLaughlin, Bol and even a return of Abby Steiner the women's 400m is loaded with talent, the WR is no doubt in sight!
It really is so exciting with all the talent throwing down so many quality times. World Record will be TOUGH, but I wouldn't put it past someone from this generation to approach it
@@sandyacombs Agree but only I dont get it when you name Abby Steiner. She is way of 48s potential. Let Abby first comeback in form and beat the likes of Alexis Holmes, Lieke Klaver, Amber Anning, Laviai Nielsen, etc. Let Abby first run a solid sub50s next year to put her back in the mix.
@@QuamfyMarc Abby is World Gold Medalist in the 4x400m along with Britton Wilson, they have both shown the ability to run under 49.0.
@@sandyacombs You are talking about splittimes years back. Both long time injured and this year both way out of form. Hope they return healthy next season.
The most exciting thing from my perspective is the number of young athletes running 49's. As you stated, most women peak around the age of 24-28 in the 400m and we have numoerous women younger than 24 running low 49's and even 48's in the case of Nickisha Pryce. Then you have the likes of Sydney and Femke running really fast times despite it not being their main event and without specific training. I'm fairly sure we will be seeing 47's by the next Olympics.
Yea 47 in 2028, if not sooner, seems likely. At a minimum, Paulinio and Naser are 27 and 26 right now and have already run 48.1. So assuming they slightly improve next year, then were looking at 48.0 or 47.9. But then the women who are younger than 24 like Pryce, Adeleke and all the others. So much to look forward too!
There's potentially at least 10 women who at their best & if they decide to commit to the 400m that have either run sub 49s or have the potential to do so which has never been the case at any other point in the event's history; Paulino, Syd, Shaunae, Naser, Nickisha, Femke, Kaczmarek, Adeleke, Britton, Kaylyn, Athing & Amber Anning.
Then there's another deep tier below in that solid mid-to-high 49s range; Sada, Klaver, Gabby, Shamier, Aaliyah, Rosey, Alexis, Kendall, Candice, Nielsen, Jaeger, Talitha, Charokee & Stacey Ann.
Then there's the U20 youngsters coming through who've displayed great ability in the event this yr; JaMeesia Ford, Lurdes Manuel, Ella Onojuvwevwo, Michaela Mouton & esp Kaylyn Brown again despite the technical issues with her 31 Dec Bday date :) The event's never been in a better place, looking forward to seeing how Britton & Shaunae slot back in next yr!
Britton is the one who I have my eyes on in terms of getting back next year. She of course can run 48 seconds once healthy, but I also felt she was on pace to do what Anna Cocrkell did and run 51 seconds in the hurdles. Will be interesting to see if she ever returns to the hurdles once her injury issues are in the past.
But yea, its getting hard to wrap my head around just how deep the event is right now and its crazy to think that Paulino and Naser are still only 27 and 26 years old, meaning they have a few years to keep getting faster than their 48.1 PBs, especially Naser considering she is finally getting back into form after her ban
@@TheFinalLeg Don't see the point in Britton given her injury issues touching the 400mH next yr as she needs a full healthy season in the 400m as I had her on a similar trajectory this yr to Nickisha Pryce's 48.5 & 48.8. Also wanna see Shamier do the same given just how poor she was in the 400mH post OLY where she was great in the relays as she has untapped potential in her secondary 400m event given her 49.68 PB. I think both can make a US WC 400m Team along with Kaylyn Brown esp if Syd decides to once again go for the 400mH along with Jasmine Jones & Anna Cockrell. Given how badly Paris went for her, very interested in seeing if Paulino's 48.17 & overall depth of the event is enough to entice low 48s Shaunae back to the event one last time for an all season long 'Big 3 Battle' with Paulino & Naser!
@@AllInTheGame01 I believe more in big 2 (Paulino+Sydney) with close next Naser & Bol. I dont see mother Miller Uibo return to 48s level.
400m races next year are going to be so exciting with all that talent, in big races you could have 4 women are more with PB's 49.5 and better all year long.
I mean, between Paulino, Naser, Kazmareck, Pryce, Sydney, thats already 4 women with PBs of 48.9 or better. Add in Adeleke at 49.0 and the fields will be stacked!
@@TheFinalLegWasn't Felix Sanchez from the Dominican Republic and would have won Olympic Gold before Paulino or were you speaking of the first female Olympic gold medalist from there.
@@claudeduncan8921 First Woman from the Dominican Republic to win gold
Paulino is a great 400m runner - she’s really underrated and still unknown outside track and field circles but she had a brilliant season. I really hope we see Sydney attack the 400 next season - with a dedicated 400m season from her and Paulino still seemingly improving, we could finally see Koch’s ridiculous world record banished from the sport, which would be great thing.
Yea I want to see Sydney attack the 400m all out next year. But I'm still not sure if the world record will be taken down. Its really really far out there. A woman will have to run 47.5, which is insane. One day, but who knows. This generation of women may push each other to get under 48 though sooner than later!
Femke Bol
@@TheFinalLeg I’m not sure it will happen next season but it feels like it’s nearer to possible for the first time.
Who's going to challenge the 400m Indoors GOAT Femke Bol ?
Not sure considering most of the top women don't run the 400m indoors. Paulino, Sydney, Naser, etc just wont run it. It also sucks that I didn't mention Femke here because she doesn't run the 400m outdoors much. She should be running 48 seconds for sure if she ran it at a few more meets during the outdoor season.
@@TheFinalLeg Agree with her 49.17 Indoors & 47.9 relaysplit Femke have the potential to run a good 48s under fine conditions. If Kaczmarek runs a high 48s than Femke must be able to run faster. Femke did always beat her on 400m and relays.
Do you think this olympics was the greatest championship by the races and events of all time?
As a whole? I dont think so but I would have to go back through history. Maybe in recent times it was, but I think 2008 was really good with a bunch of world records and Olympic records. 1996 was also really good. Historically, 1968 was crazy and probably much better, but that was in Mexico City with altitude so hard to do a direct comparison. What do you think?
@TheFinalLeg Yes, as a whole. Go back and check the time and look at the events and races. You talked about the women's 400m but what the men's 100m finals, 9.91 gets you 8th place.
@@Track4all Yea I think there are individual races that were better, but wholistically, Im not sure 2024 was the best. For example, in 1968, there were 14 world records broken between the men and the women. That's unheard of. But your right that individually, I think 2024 had the best race in the men's 100m, men's 400m and women's 400m dashes. But then the field events didnt see very crazy marks outside of mondao. So not sure, its a good discussion to have!
Y is Sydney McLaughlin in the list of sub 49 althlwtws she barely run the event and already competing with best to ever run the event
She is extremely talented so has been able to run 48 seconds a few times already. Will be interesting to see if she goes fully into the 400m next year and potentially gets her PB down into the 48 lows like we know she is capable of
@@TheFinalLeg Yeah for me now realistic 400m outdoors 1) Paulino is fastest, 2) Sydney could also run low 48s. 3) Femke must be able to run mid 48s close with 4) Naser and 5) Pryce. 6) Kaczmarek and 7) Adeleke also able to run sub49s next year. Britton Wilson & Abby Steiner big questionmarks!
