Sydney McLaughlin-Levrone crushed her competition on Thursday, winning the 400-meter hurdles for the second straight Olympics, and doing so in world-record fashion.
McLaughlin-Levrone led from the beginning of the race and as she came down the final straightaway, there was no one even close. She finished in 50.37 seconds, smashing her previous world record of 50.65 and finishing 1.5 seconds ahead of her closest competition, teammate Anna Cockrell.
