Sydney McLaughlin22, ran a wild new world record in the 400-meter hurdles in Eugene when the digitals stopped at 50.68.

The previous record was in his own name, which he improved by up to 0.73 seconds.

– This is unreal. “The timing is incredible and this sport just keeps getting faster and faster,” McLaughlin said the BBC by.

– I’m only getting faster.

At the World Championships, checks are handed out to world record breakers, and McLaughlin received a $100,000 cash check after the race.

– The last 100 meters really hurt. It was incredibly unreal to see my own family in the stands. They are never in the same place at the same time.

McLaughlin’s ME time has experts rubbing their eyes.

Among other things, working as an expert for SVT Christian Olsson couldn’t find the words to describe the new world record.

– How incomparable was his race from the beginning. I thought he couldn’t run 400 meters fast. Absolutely crazy. I don’t think we fully understand what we saw, he said, according to Expressen.

Swedish sword star Armand Duplantis said that McLaughlin beat everyone else back when they were studying at the same time.

– We won about the same amount of prizes at school. His time is probably better than mine without fences in the 400m.
