I hear what you're saying and like you said, Paulino messed up and earned that outside lane. Hey, if she didn't want the outside lane then Paulino should not have slowed down at the end of her qualifying round. Yeah, she should be salty at herself not Sydney.
& as for people thinking Sydney came out of nowhere, I don't think the twitter/x comment was about Sydney coming out of nowhere, though. I think it was more about Sydney changing events and Paulino's reaction to that.
However, it's a win for us, 'cause we get to see them battle it out for years to come and that includes Salwa Eid Naser. Naser still has a lot of fight in her so from these three, we'll see who'll be first to break the 400m world record that's stood since 1985.Paulino should have seen that switch coming, it was inevitable.
Sydney broke the 400m hurdle world record 6 times within 3 yrs.
The tweet makes no sense
It's like when LeBron came to the Cavs as an 18 year old, many of them thought they'll be sonning him and then he turned around and ran the team. The same way with Sydney, Paulino thought she had the 400m locked-up and she was the best in the world plus she had beaten Sydney before: some 400m Hurdler wasn't going to beat her. So I don't blame Paulino, she felt like she couldn't be touched and now there's an interloper in her race. It's OK to feel frustration with Sydney.
This is Paulino beating Sydney in 2023; I think that Paulino thought the race was going to be like this one...
I think Sydney would crush the outsideI agree but ppl insinuating like Sydney came out of nowhere. Sure she wasn’t a 400m specialist, also the transition is not really that far.
Paulino draw a bad lane because she messed up in the semi-finals. I mean she ran a personal best just to secure a silver. I am not sure Sydney could have done that on the outside lane.
Yeah, Sydney is a beast and Paulino needs to restore that ego because I just watched Bud Crawford and Errol Spence boxing match again, & Bud destroyed Errol's ego so much....he's never been the same. I don't even know if he boxes any more, it was brutal. So basically, Paulino needs to put her big girl panties on and continue to fight it out with Sydney cause she Syd ain't goin' nowhere.ego crusher - and she might not have really been watching Sydney before
Sydney was playing around with the 200m and 400m flat (with great times) last season while readying for the Olympics - smoked Gabby Douglas while cruising to 22.07 time
Since 2020 Ato Bolden and others speculated she was fast enough to own the 400m flat after seeing her post sub 48 second splits in the relays
she has the WR in 400m hurdles and still thinks she can do a faster time - and looks like she wants the 400 flat WR too
yeah-Side note: I think you meant Gabby Thomas rather than Gabby Douglas......
A lot of people are saying that now. Her coach Dennis Mitchell is a drug cheat.
Gabby was taking shots at him last month. Can't say if she on PED's or not but....
