TOKYO, July 31 ― World record holder Sydney McLaughlin of the United States strolled through an eventful heat in the women's 400 metres hurdles today as her closest competitors also advanced to keep alive hopes of a big showdown.
There was a false start from Ukrainian Mariya Mykolenko while Britain's Jesse Knight tripped and fell at the first hurdle in the third heat but it was not enough to disturb the American's concentration. On another hot and humid morning, McLaughlin did all the hard work at the start and opened up a big gap in the final stretch with her fellow competitors to finish in a time of 54.65 and advance to Monday's semi-finals.
She qualified with a time of 53.97, the best across the five heats on the second day of athletics at the Olympic Stadium.
