WATCH: Sydney McLaughlin-Levrone attends fun-filled pottery session with Athing Mu and Maya Aviezer amid preparations for track season

Sydney McLaughlin-Levrone and Athing Mu went to a pottery class together amid their preparations for the 2025 track season. Both of them had contrasting seasons in 2024, as while the hurdler won two gold medals at the Paris Olympics, the 800m runner couldn't qualify for the Olympics.

The two have frequently been spotted with each other, sharing updates of their fun times on social media. Most recently, they went to a pottery class with another fellow athlete, Maya Viezer, who shared a video on her Instagram handle. She shared a series of funny moments of learning pottery with McLaughlin-Levrone and Mu. The latter of the two was facing difficulties in following the steps, adding a lighthearted tone to their outing.

At the end of the clip, each of them showed the pots they made and then showcased how dirty their clothes got while doing pottery. The post's caption read:

"Team Bonding - Pottery Class Edition 🫖💞😂 This was way harder than I anticipated hahaha Can’t wait to eat stew out of my new bowl."

A few days before they learned this new skill, the trio was seen dancing together while wearing raincoats. McLaughlin-Levrone shared a video on an Instagram story of her, Mu, and Aviezer dancing on the track to Nat King Cole's "L-O-V-E." While doing this, they also tried making the ''LOVE' sign with their hands; however, failing to make 'E,' they burst into laughter.

Mu and Mclaughlin-Levrone have not yet started their 2025 season; however, the latter is expected to start with Michael Johnson's Grand Slam Track.
