Sydney McLaughlin-Levrone says what topic she would give a TED talk on

Sydney McLaughlin-Levrone has revealed the topic she would give a TED talk on if she were to get the opportunity. The American athlete recently concluded her Paris Olympics campaign with two gold medals.

McLaughlin-Levrone stood atop the podium in the 400m hurdles, where she broke the world record with a time of 50.37s and defeated Anna Cockrell and Femke Bol. The 25-year-old also dominated at the 4x400m relay event with her team, which included Shamier Little, Gabby Thomas, and Alexis Holmes, and they posted a time of 3:15.27.

The American athlete will soon be participating in the Grand Slam Track, an event launched by track and field legend Michael Johnson that will take place in 2025. The event's Instagram page recently shared a video of some athletes who spoke about topics on which they would give a TED Talk if given the chance. One of them was Sydney McLaughlin-Levrone, who gave a hilarious response to the question.

"Gummy Bears. How to eat and how not to eat them."

Along with McLaughlin-Levrone, Kenny Bednarek, Yared Naguse, Cole Hocker, and many other athletes also shared their answers to the question.
