Sydney McLaughlin-Levrone weighs in on her limits
Sydney McLaughlin-Levrone expressed her thoughts about her limits in a pre-race interview at Grand Slam Track. The American athlete revealed that she always tries to put her best foot forward whenever she steps on the track and looks back at what she could have done better.
After carefully analyzing her race, she works on important aspects that could yield an even better performance. The 25-year-old revealed that despite a gold medal-winning performance with a new world record at the Paris Olympics, there were still some things that could have been done better.
That is the reason Sydney McLaughlin-Levrone revealed that she was unsure about having any limits and strived to get better with every performance.
“It's a wonderful question, I think only God knows the answer to be honest. I can always look at a race and figure out things that I can do better. Even looking at the Olympics, there’s always something you can do better. So I don’t know where the limit is. I’m just going to keep trying to find it, to be honest," she said.
Furthermore, McLaughlin-Levrone hoped to put forward some great performances in the rest of the 2025 season.
