LOS ANGELES — Sydney McLaughlin-Levrone smashed her own 400 meter (m) hurdles world record on Sunday to book her place at the Paris Olympics in sensational style at the US trials in Eugene, Oregon.

McLaughlin-Levrone obliterated her rivals to power home in an astonishing 50.65 seconds, bettering her previous best of 50.68, also set at Hayward Field, during the 2022 World Championships.
