Sydney McLaughlin-Levrone is one of the most popular track and field athletes worldwide. After winning the gold medal at the Tokyo Olympic Games after clocking a world record, she became a fan favorite in the 400m. Known for her dominating spirit and fierce competitiveness, McLaughlin-Levrone is one of the favorites at the upcoming Paris Olympics later this year.
However, McLaughlin-Levrone is yet to make her outdoor season debut in an individual event. There were a lot of speculations about the uncertainties of her outdoor debut but the American athlete made her first track appearance of 2024 at the Mt SAC relays.
Sydney McLaughlin-Levrone is provisionally expected to make her first outdoor appearance in an individual event in 2024 at the USATF Los Angeles Grand Prix. Her last individual appearance was at the USATF Championships in Eugene, Oregon on July 8, 2023, where she clocked a world-leading performance in the 400m by running the distance in an impressive 48.74 seconds.
The American star's 2023 season was cut short as she suffered a knee injury. The injury led her to withdraw from the 2023 World Athletics Championships. Since then she has been focusing on her recovery which led her to skip the 2024 pre-season as well as the indoor season.
McLaughlin-Levrone will compete at the U.S. Olympic trials later this year in June. However, athletes prefer to begin the outdoor season and gain momentum before they step onto the coveted Olympic trails, which is an ultimate breakthrough event for them to be a part of the team that will be representing the United States in Paris.
