Sydney McLaughlin of New Jersey broke her own world record as American women finished 1-2 in the women s 400-meter hurdles at the Olympics in Tokyo on Wednesday.
McLaughlin clocked a time of 51.46 in the dazzling race, edging teammate Dalilah Muhammad (51.58) and Femke Bol of the Netherlands (52.03). Muhammad s time also bested the world record mark of 51.90 that McLaughlin set in June at the U.S. Olympic Trials.
