Lhe United States Athletics Federation (USATF) has just given its shortlist for the World Cup in Budapest and the most striking thing is that Sydney McLaughlin-Levrone failing to defend her 400 hurdles crownfocusing on the 400 meters.
McLaughlin hasn’t run a single 400 hurdle all season so the news is not entirely a surprise. The world record holder for the low hurdles has the best record of the season in the return to the track with 48.74mark achieved in the final of the Trials.
the american thus avoid face to face with the Dutch Femke Bolwho has the best mark of the year in the 400 hurdles with 51.45, not too far from the 50.68 McLaughlin has as a record since the 2022 Oregon World Cup final.
The one that I finally know how to defend its title in the Magyar capital will be Athing Mu. The 800 Olympic and world champion was doubtful after a statement from her coach, Bobby Kerseewho had hinted that his athlete could prioritize the preparation for the 2024 Paris Games and not go to Budapest.
Mu does not thus avoid the duel with the British Keely Hodgkinsonwho this 2023 has signed a fabulous 1:55.77 and seems in a position to discuss her dominance after the great final of Eugene, in which the American won by just 8 hundredths.
Noah Lyles and Sha’Carri Richardson, for the double
In the male section, note that noah lyles try to be the first man to achieve a world double in the 100 and 200 meters from Usain Bolt in Beijing 2015. He also doubles Sha’Carri Richardsonwhich is the great USA hope to end the Jamaican dominance of women’s sprinting.
In ten of the tests, the United States comes with four representatives as it uses the wild card of the defending champion or the winner of the Diamond League final, which grants an extra place in both cases.
The complete roster is made up of 139 athletes, of which 82 have already been in Eugene last year, including 23 individual medalists -with ten golds-. 63 were also at the Tokyo Games and 22 of them were on the podium. On the other hand, 45 debut with the United States in a great competition.
