A few days ago, McLaughlin-Levrone revealed her role models and the qualities she imbibed from them in a conversation with the On Her Turf channel.

"I definitely looked up to Allyson Felix and Sanya Richards-Ross growing up, for sure. Both of them, just amazing athletes. Just so strong, so powerful, but also so poised. And I think how they carried themselves more than anything is what really inspired me to want to be the best at what I do, but also do it with class and grace," McLaughlin-Levrone said.

“Yeah, there's just this desire for whatever I'm doing to be the best. And I think whether it is the 400 hurdles, the 200 this weekend or the 100 and the 100 hurdles, I just want to be the best that I can be when I step on the track."
“And I truly feel like I'm a student of the sport, which is wanting to learn in every way, shape, and form I can, so, like, learning how to do block starts out for the 100, right? Like I'm learning that I need to drop my front knee a little bit more parallel to the track and drive that first step and toe drag if I can, and stay down,” she added.

Sydney McLaughlin-Levrone aims to reclaim her 400m hurdles title at the Tokyo World Championships in September 2025.
