The American McLaughlin-Levrone crowned herself as the Queen of the athletics competition in Paris thanks to a crushing victory in the 400m hurdles in a new world record time. She added another gold in the 4x400m with Team USA. After the Games, she took a break and went on honeymoon, but has chosen the Brussels Diamond League as her first and only competition after Paris.
“We are extremely honoured that Sydney has chosen Brussels for this unique double,” says Meeting Director Kim Gevaert. “She has impressed me enormously with her double Olympic gold and her incredible world record time. I look forward to witnessing her testing her limits in the 400m and 200m. Sydney’s presence is making this years event historic.”
McLaughlin-Levrone will already arrive in Brussels on Monday so that she can prepare optimally for her races. At a press conference on Tuesday afternoon, she and Kim Gevaert will look back on her Olympics and look ahead to the Memorial.
Tickets in every category are still available.
