McLaughlin-Levrone's journey to this record was nothing short of remarkable. She first broke the 52-second barrier in June 2021 and then the 51-second barrier in July 2022. Her consistent improvement and dedication have made her the first woman to achieve such milestones.
In addition to her individual gold, McLaughlin-Levrone also contributed to the U.S. women's 4 Ć 400 meters relay team, which won gold with a world-leading time of 3:15.27. Her split time of 47.71 seconds was a key factor in the team's success.
This year's performance at the Olympics follows her previous successes, including gold medals at the 2020 and 2022 World Athletics Championships, as well as her silver medal at the 2019 World Championships.
