Improvement forms a significant part of people?s lives. One keeps on improving oneself through hard work and dedication. Though the willingness of athletes to improve themselves is something else. And they do better their times in subsequent meets. US track star Sydney McLaughlin accomplished such a feat in one of her events at the World Championships.

The hurdler produced the fastest time in the 400m hurdles at the ongoing World Athletics Championships in Eugene, Oregon. It marks the fourth time she has bettered her world-record time in the past 13 months.

Sydney McLaughlin betters her time at the 400m hurdles yet again

McLaughlin clocked an astonishing 50.68s in the event, smashing her previous record of 51.41s, which she set on the same track less than a month back at the USATF Outdoor Championships. Therefore, she shaved 0.73s from her previous world record time. With this, she has established her absolute dominance in the sport.

It is a significant margin in a sport where athletes win by hundredths of a second. And with this time, she became the first female track athlete to break the 51-second barrier. Previously, she demonstrated her mastery when she completed the event in 51.46s at the Tokyo Olympics, setting a new record.

The time is nine-tenths of a second faster than Dalilah Muhammad’s time, the second-fastest woman in the event’s history. Therefore, she has secured the world-record spot for some time, unless she decides to better this time again at the next meet.
