Sydney McLaughlin is 400mH world record holder. Sydney McLaughlin is a 400mH World Championship gold medalist. She is a 400mH Olympic gold medalist. That stated, half a dozen Let's run 14:xx to 18:xx 5000m guys say she needs to make changes.

Does a week go by that someone on this site doesn't make this lame argument? Which is equivalent to the following exchange:

"I'm disappointed that our franchise QB threw 4 interceptions yesterday and now we're out of the playoffs."

SHUT UP!!! YOU NEVER EVEN STARTED IN HS, SO YOU'RE NOT ALLOWED TO HAVE ANY OPINION ABOUT THE NFL !!!"

re: Hallelujah

She'll pull out with an "injury." USATF can't protect her outside the U.S. Mu is the same way -- no Diamond League meets outside the U.S.

Sydney doesn't need anyone to "protect" her. She just doesn't like competing outside of major championships. Which is a shame. She should compete more often.

re: Think Again

Imagine if you were the world best in your event and there was really little point in racing to prove it. With injury an ever-present threat, and financial security already achieved, I too would race as little as possible. Since when in history did any track athlete run to entertain? No, at top level they run for $ or attention (if they want it) or to leverage towards a future career (which is basically $). The fans have choice whether to pay to see them or not - I don't see the problem.

The little meet in Hungary paid a giant appearance fee and gave Syd a chance to preview the upcoming world site.
You're confused. The Hungary meet she ran in was NOT the site of this year's world championships. It's not even in the same city.

I never said it was same site. Hungary quite small.

You're full of sh!t. Of course you said it was the same site. You literally wrote "gave Syd a chance to preview the upcoming world site."
