@Commander_Jimbo@EmmanuelAcho It was going to happen sometime. Both the 2nd and 3rd place finishers have been in 48.1s before. Sydney has had this in her for years as everyone knows. Just needed to switch to flat 400.
There have been many other events with much wider WR time gap downs.
@Commander_Jimbo@EmmanuelAcho You’re free to have that opinion. Sydney is a generational athlete and her speed has evident for many years in the 400MH. The second place finisher already had the fastest time since the 80s so it wasn’t a total surprise.
Athletes get faster and faster over time.
@celeste43_@EmmanuelAcho The announcers seem to have been told to dance around the topic. And lots of posts like this from media figures calling it “fastest time in 40 years”.
