Levrone broke the world record at the 2022 World Championships. It won’t be an understatement to say that the US athlete might have a claim to the throne of the most dominant athlete in track and field currently. Breaking the world record six times, she has transformed the whole 400m hurdle category into her own playground.

But, despite her prolonged success in hurdling, Sydney has also had her own share of struggles in her life on and off the court. In her book Far Beyond Gold, Sydney McLaughlin-Levrone looked back at one such period from the fall of 2019. Her first focus was the World Athletics Championships in Doha.

Sydney was up against arch-rival Dalilah Muhammad in her signature 400-meter hurdles race. The competition between the two was neck-to-neck, to say the least. Muhammad, the 2016 Rio Olympic champion in the event, went out hard. So did Sydney and they were level through the first 200m.

Dalilah began to edge ahead of Sydney on the top bend and entered the straight with a lead of a couple of meters. But Sydney started to come back during the final 100 meters.
