Sydney McLaughlin-Levrone made a world-leading effort look easy, securing a spot in Sunday's 400-meter hurdle final at the U.S. Olympic Team Trials and leading what could be one of America's strongest events in Paris. McLaughlin-Levrone, the reigning gold medalist and world No. 1 barely, broke a sweat in the semifinals Saturday with a 52.48-second effort to advance to what promises to be a scorching final Sunday at Hayward Stadium in Eugene, Oregon.

In contrast to McLaughlin-Levrone's business-like demeanor, Cockrell couldn't contain her joy about breaking the 53-second mark for the first time. 'It means I'm ready,' she said. 'It tells me what we've been woking for in the past is working. I'm pleased, I'm pleased.' Stream every moment and every medal of the 2024 Paris Olympics on Peacock, starting with the Opening Ceremony July 26 at 12 p.m. ET.
