Stephen Kruiser at PJ Media: Sydney McLaughlin Destroys Her Own World Record and Makes the Olympics Fun Again
It’s true that there have been a few U.S. athletes who have tried to ruin the games, but I prefer to let them remain nameless, annoying, and thus far, losers.
There are a lot of good American Olympians who are worth paying attention to and cheering for. As I wrote in my Morning Briefing a couple of weeks ago, we shouldn’t ignore them because of the bad seeds.
I mentioned hurdler Sydney McLaughlin as one of my favorites of this U.S. Olympic team. She runs the 400-meter hurdles and set a new world record at the U.S. Olympic Trials in June. Her teammate Dalilah Muhammad held the two previous world records. The two push each other to new bests and that was what track fans were expecting Tuesday night in the Olympic women’s 400-meter hurdles finals.
They didn’t disappoint:
Unbelievable! Sydney just gets faster and faster! ⚡
