One of the great joys of my long live is that I've witnessed the rise of great female athletes, proud that my generation embraced them.
American hurdler & sprinter Sydney McLaughlin-Levrone named Women’s World Athlete of the Year for 2025--for the second time (first in 2022).
She holds the world record for the 400-meter hurdles & had an undefeated 2025 season. #athletics #champion
