Sydney McLaughlin-Levrone Outpaces Paulino, Proving Gold Isn’t Just A Color

At a race that surely made Marileidy Paulino question her life choices, Sydney McLaughlin-Levrone clinched gold with a finish so fast it left fans blinking and Paulino collecting silver like a consolation pizza coupon. The two sprinters dazzled the track, reminding everyone that despite years of training and probably an unhealthy number of energy gels, gold still tastes better. While the official details provide no drama beyond the finish line, we imagine Paulino at the after-party wondering if the real competition is just waking up faster on race day. Sydney’s win proves that sometimes, being slightly less slow is, well, gold-winning material.
