In only her fourth long hurdles race of the season, the 24-year-old defending Olympic champion cleared all 10 barriers with ease, then went on a dead sprint to the line to break the record for the fifth time. Four of those marks have now come on track at University of Oregon’s Hayward Field.

“My husband asked me yesterday, ‘What do you think you can do?’ and I told him ”I don’t know,’” McLaughlin-Levrone said in an interview over the stadium PA system. “Then today, I crossed the line and I’m like, ‘Oh, snap.’ I’m blessed and happy to be here.” From 2003-19, the world record in this event stayed stuck at 52.34. American Dalilah Muhammad broke it twice in 2019 — the second time at world championships in a race that demoralized McLaughlin-Levrone and sparked a move over to coach Bobby Kersee.
