Sydney McLaughlin-Levrone is good at many things, but she’s great at breaking records. A natural-born athlete, the 24-year-old hurdler and sprinter made history as the first woman to break the 52-second and 51-second barrier in the 400 meter hurdle. Add that fact to her gold medal from the 2020 Tokyo Olympics and her multiple World Athletic Championships wins, and McLaughlin-Levrone is one to watch going into the 2024 Olympics. But her career has been budding since her elementary school days. Her first official race went down when she was just six years old. Unsurprisingly, the now-professional athlete finished first in the 100 meter race held in their hometown.
While maintaining a healthy lifestyle takes precedence for the New Jersey-native, she’s also an active member at her church in Los Angeles, where she lives with her husband Andre Levrone, who just so happens to be her live-in wellness consultant. As the June Olympics approach, McLaughlin-Levrone has been keeping busy—signing a deal with Neutrogena as an ambassador, releasing her first book, "Far Beyond Gold: Running From Fear to Faith," and starring in a commercial for The Marvels.
