The 2022 World Champion dominated from the first barrier and won with the time of 52.48thus snatching the best seasonal world performance in Dutch Femke Bolwhich had stopped at 52.49 during the victory at the European Championships in Rome.
The world record holder, capable of thundering a monstrous 50.68 on the occasion of her world championship apotheosis two years ago in Eugene, wanted to send a clear message to her great rival and a sumptuous duel at the Games promises, where the American will try to repeat her success in the five circles after three years ago in Tokyo. Sydney McLaughlin still has to earn her ticket to the French capital, the appointment is for tonight when she will compete in the final in Eugene, perhaps trying to further lower her time.
