What a week for the Games of the XXXIII Olympiad, more commonly known as the Paris 2024 Olympics. Fast feet lit up the track under the lights with amazing finishes nightly and new superstars being born. One of those superstars is the United States megastar Sydney McLaughlin-Levrone. The girl brought speed. World Record Speed. She started with a completely dominant victory over favored World Champion Dutch star Femke Bol and it wasn't close. McLaughlin-Levrone torched the field in 50.37s with fellow American Anna Cockrell also outpacing Bol who looked defeated down the back stretch as McLaughlin-Levrone left her in the dust. But the 25-year-old American legend (who celebrated a birthday in Paris) followed up this performance as part of a completely dominant women's 4x400 relay that set an American Record and beat the rest of the world by four full seconds in 3:15.27. The distance between 2nd and 7th was more than 1st and second. McLaughlin-Levrone did it all and is a worthy Sportswoman of the Week!
