of the United States Sydney McLaughlin set an insane world record at the World Athletics Championships in Oregon on Saturday.
McLaughlin, 22, ran a time of 50.68 in the 400-meter hurdles. He improved his own ME time by as much as 0.73 seconds. McLaughlin’s ME run can be seen in the video that is the main image of this story.
The record improvement got Urheilu’s expert Tuomas Rajan roughly in the storyboard.
– Can this be true?
– We have thought about what this woman will do next. Will he move on to attack the 400-meter world record or will he now start thinking about whether the 400-meter hurdles world record could start with four, Raja thought.
With McLaughlin’s recent ME time, she would have finished sixth in the women’s 400m smooth World Cup final. That says something about the level of the American superstar.
Viivi Lehikonen McLaughlin, who is in the same age group, has been known for a long time as a super promise. He received an extraordinary amount of publicity at a young age, before he had really achieved anything at an adult level.
In recent years, the American’s potential has started to materialize in a wild way. Over the past two years, McLaughlin has improved the 400m hurdles world record by as much as 1.48 seconds. At the moment, he is the supreme sole ruler of his genre.
Coached by the same coach as Lehikoinen, from the Netherlands Femke Bol drove a wedge into the US front, as he took the World Championship silver with a time of 52.27. Dalilah Muhammad took bronze with a season’s best 53.13.

Dramatic ending in the javelin final
The women’s javelin final offered athletics drama at its best. Two of the three medalists were renewed in the last round of throwing.
First Japan Haruka Kitaguchi succeeded perfectly in his last javelin final and finished second with his throw of 63.27. However, Kitaguchi’s second place did not last long, as the United States Kara Winger threw 64.05 immediately after and moved to silver place.
Australia’s Mackenzie Little and China’s Liu Shiying, who were tied for the medal, still got to try, but were unable to improve.

Paavola and Holttinen qualified from the pole vault final
Finland Mikko Paavola and Tommi Holttinen got a result of 550 in the men’s pole vault qualification. Paavola exceeded the height with his first, Holttinen with his second. Both Finns cleared the opening height of 530 on their first.
Both fell from the continuation at a height of 565. For the pole vault final, a height of 575 would have been required.
The Finns’ crossings from the height of 550 can be seen below. The story continues after the videos.
Holttinen was close to crossing the height 565 on his first attempt, but the next two attempts went through. Holttinen’s record is 564, so crossing would have been the best result of his career.
Paavola bent twice from the nearly exceeded height 565. In the third attempt, the best bet was already clearly gone. Paavola’s record is 571.
– The first two attempts were fine, they went over the bar, but he couldn’t get the speed over the bar, Paavola’s coach Mikael Westö analyze.
Miller-Uibo finally got his world championship
Bahamas Shaunae Miller-Uibo finally got the world championship in 400 meters. Miller-Uibo, who celebrated Olympic victories in both Rio and Tokyo, has had to settle for duller medals in the three previous World Championships.
