Since Sydney McLaughlin Broke the 400m Hurdle World Record in a time of 50.68 seconds, everyone has been questioning what she would be able to do in the open 400m, specifically, if she would be able to break the World Record there as well.
Despite being a once in a generation athlete, I think we need to put some perspective on how challenging not only that 400m record is, but also how moving from the hurdles to the flat event is not just a simple task of moving the hurdles off the track.
But can McLaughlin actually break the world record in the Open 400m?
