Sydney McLaughlin is the most dominant athlete alive; most dominant track star of the 21st century

The girl is doing things we have never seen before in her event, and she isn't done yet. I do expect her to tire of being so far superior to the competition she does look for new challenges but not until she wins another Olympic gold in 2024.

Look at this, not even Bolt was this dominant as far as times went.

Is there a technical reason why the top 400m hurdlers (men and women) are so much faster today than even five years ago?
