Queen of hurdling hailed by New Balance
Athletic footwear brand New Balance was quick to acclaim Olympic 400 metres hurdles champion Sydney McLaughlin-Levrone when she successfully defended her title in Paris on August 8.
In the course of winning the gold medal, the athlete broke the world record for the event for the sixth time, clocking a time of 50:37, cementing her reputation as the queen of hurdling.
“Long may she reign,” New Balance said on social media immediately afterwards.
