Sydney McLaughlin ran the sixth-fastest 400m hurdles time in history in what she said beforehand was her last race of the season. On Monday, Mclaughlin, who lowered her world record at June’s USATF Outdoor Championships (51.41) and July’s world championships (50.68), ran 51.68 at Continental Tour meet in Hungary. McLaughlin extended her win streak to seven meets since her last defeat at the 2019 World Championships. Her new time on Monday would have been a world record up until the Tokyo Olympics, where she lowered it from 51.90 to 51.46.
