Despite being the best 400-meter hurdler of all time, Sydney McLaughlin-Levrone is still sometimes overlooked in cities like Los Angeles.
American hurdling legend Sydney McLaughlin-Levrone acknowledges that, despite her incredible track and field record, she frequently enjoys a startling degree of anonymity in Los Angeles. The Olympic and world champion, who has dominated the 400-meter hurdles since going pro in 2019, considers how she goes mostly unnoticed in a city full of famous NBA and NFL players, as well as Hollywood celebrities.
Born in New Jersey, McLaughlin-Levrone now resides and trains in California with her husband, Andre Levrone, under the tutelage of renowned coach Bob Kersee.
