“No matter how much I strived, dedicated, and sacrificed, the finish line always seemed to elude me.”

Sydney McLaughlin-Levrone—world-record athlete, Olympic champion, and a TIME Women of the Year honoree—said she is no longer striving for perfection, but instead focusing on the pursuit of excellence and steady progress toward her goals, even if she falls short at times.

At 17, McLaughlin-Levrone made her U.S. Olympic Team debut in the 400-meter hurdles in Rio de Janeiro. She went on to win gold in both Tokyo and Paris and has set six world records in the event. She now has her sights set on the 2028 Los Angeles Summer Olympics.

Started experimenting with hand-tracking-based interactions for my little voxel editor – BoxelXR. There are a lot of things to tune, but overall it feels good. Though it would require some decent work in sound design to compensate for the lack of haptic feedback.
