The athlete was last seen on track during the Diamond League Finals in Brussels in September 2024. Initially, she wasn't eligible to run as she did not compete in any of the other Diamond League events that year. However, in honor of her Olympic achievement, two special races, including the 200m and 400m dashes, were executed for her to participate in the competition.

Ahead of this, she solidified her position as a 400m hurdler by delivering a dominant performance at the Paris Olympics. She clocked an impressive world record of 50.37s in the event, besting Anna Cockrell and Femke Bol.

In an interview with World Athletics in December last year, Sydney McLaughlin-Levrone spoke about crossing the 50-second mark in the 400m hurdles. She is one of the most renowned athletes in the event, having broken the world record six times.

In the interview, she revealed that she had aimed to break the 50-second mark; however, she felt it would happen naturally.

“That definitely is on my mind for sure. An athlete would naturally want to do that. Whether that happens or not is up to God. I’m just going to work for it, I can’t put a number on it. It may be me, or maybe an athlete in five or 10 years from now. So I’m just going to continue to try to be the best I can be and if it comes it comes, and if it doesn’t, it doesn’t," said Sydney McLaughlin-Levrone.

“But I think for me it’s just the desire to improve. Every time you go back to the table and look at it, there is always something you can do better. It’s exciting in the hurdles, that there is always something you can improve on,” she added.

Sydney McLaughlin-Levrone also won a gold medal in the women's 4x400 relay at the Paris Olympics, where she ran the fastest leg with a split of 47.70s. She and her team clocked an American record of 3:15.27.
