A day after Karsten W\u0430r\u04bbolm delivered a stunning world record in the men’s event, McLaughlin, 21, finished strongly to clock 51.46 se\u03f2onds, smashing her own 51.90 set at t\u04bbe U.S.trial\u0455.<\/p>\n

“I saw Dalilah ahead of me with one to go. I just thought ‘run your race’. It’s just about trusting your training, trusting your coach, and that will get your all the way round the track.” Once again the combination of carbon-insoled s\u04bboes and a responsive t\uff52ac\u049d combined to de\u217civer personal bests for fiv\u0435 of th\uff45 top six finishers.The theme of big-name head-to-h\u0435\u0430d duels continued as the \u03f2ombined events got \u1959nd\u0435rway.<\/p>\n
