The world record holder discusses the hugeness of his task, which he posted to him in Tokyo 400 m
When Sydney McLuke-Levon competes in the major championship, the world expects to see the notes are broken. No less than six cases, the American was the fastest time in history on the 400 m obstacles, while recently won his second consecutive Olympic gold in his second consecutive year.
In Tokyo, in the World Cup this month, he returns to another scene. 51.46, who took him in 2021. This time he will solve another event.
The 26-year-old child preferred instead to challenge a fresh challenge and focus on 400 m. This is a problem that he is desperable, first of all hoping to do so in 2023, before the knee injured, but it would be far from easy.
While Mclaughlin-Levrone has been the streets when it comes to obstacles, he is a hunter than hunter in the apartment of 400 m. His time during the winning US trials in 2006 The second shame of the second shame of the National Protocol of Sania Richard-Ross 48.70, but the world world champion Salva Ed-Naser (48.67) in the Dominican Republic (48.81).
The record of 4,700 m 400 m was set in 1985. Although Mclaughlin-Levrone believes that it can be beaten in the future, he does not expect it to threaten in Tokyo. What he waits is still a few strong competitions from Paulino and Eid Nasser, although his career has also exploded in 2021 as a result of his two-year ban.
“It’s a long-term record, and very fast time,” said Mllugley-Levron about Koch’s writing about the world’s athletics. “I think that during the last few years we have set up an appetite when I walk on the track, of course, I think it is fair.
“But at the same time, they come when they come and, especially a 400-such event. It takes time. Or whatever I think is interesting for sports and justice for people, but I want to be the best way to athletes if it takes years I want to work. “
Mclaughlin-Levrone WB is 48.74 two years ago, but he feels that in 2025 he helped him to take a significant step forward. The problem for him is that the opposition is also not standing.
“I really feel that this year I have learned a lot, and I’m excitedly I have all truly put it together in Tokyo and see what he can bring to me,” he said. “But everyone is going faster, and I think we all motivate each other to really run time, which have not seen the best possible for a long time.
And can beat 47.60.
“I think in time, if you have the right athletes in the right circumstances, everything goes right, then yes,” he added. “I think it’s a very difficult time to run, but I think we have to work from 48 seconds to 48 seconds, before we can even talk about 47.60.”
Given the work and the pain involved. “400m hurts a lot more than obstacles” Why is it for you? Why leave 400 m in obstacles from being so clearly on top of a tree? Does he feel that he has achieved all this, what can that happen?
“There are still more that I would love to get into obstacles,” said Makluglin-Lron. “The funny thing about the track and the field is always something you can do better, so I don’t think it’s at all.
“I Do Love to Challenge MySelf in Different Ways and Back In 2023 I Didn’t Really Get to Fulfil That Challenge to Myself Because MY Out I Knew I Wanted to come back to.
“I have loved the idea of ​​getting out of different events by challenging myself, I push myself if I can be the best, good round athlete before I can hang my scam.
“I have learned so much about 400 m this season, about how it is very different from obstacles, but I love it every second, and I think it’s challenging me.”
The appetite for McLaughlin-Levrone mixed a lot of this year during the Grand Slam Track series, which saw that his solution was not only 400 m obstacles and 100 m 100m. Michael Johnson’s very Hrocky project makes less positive titles in recent months, given its financial problems and the fact that Mclaughlin-Levrone is still waiting.
He asked if he felt that these World Athletics Championships should have been going well due to Grand Slam’s failures, or if I think such a situation. Behind love and field, regardless of.
“But I pray that the World Cup is great and that we can have an amazing experience. I think that the athletes will affect the world and the events that take place on what happened. “
