Sydney McLaughlin-Levrone, the world-record holder in the 400-meter hurdles, has decided to focus solely on defending her title in that event at the upcoming Paris Olympics. She has withdrawn from the 200 and 400-meter flat races at the U.S. Olympic trials to concentrate on her primary event.
McLaughlin-Levrone expressed her commitment to the hurdles, stating that it is her 'first love.' Despite dabbling in the 400 flat race last year and achieving notable success, she has chosen to prioritize the hurdles for the upcoming Olympics.
