Hurdler, sprint star Sydney McLaughlin-Levrone announces she's pregnant
Olympic champion hurdler Sydney McLaughlin-Levrone announced Thursday she is
pregnant.
In an Instagram post, she said "made a human with my favorite human," next to a
picture of husband Andre Levrone Jr.
McLaughlin-Levrone won the last two Olympic titles in the 400-meter hurdles,
setting world records both times. It currently stands at 50.37 seconds. Last
year, she moved to the 400 flat and won world championships in 47.78 seconds,
becoming the first woman to crack 48 in the full-lap race since 1985.
The even-numbered year between Summer Olympics is usually considered a light
year in track and field. If McLaughlin-Levrone sits out 2026, she would miss
the debut of the World Athletics Ultimate Championships, which will feature the
sport's top athletes and offer $150,000 first prizes.
