Sydney McLaughlin-Levrone has dominated the women's 400-meter hurdles for the past two years, winning every competition she enters, including the Tokyo Olympics and the 2022 World Championship crowns. On the other hand, Shericka Jackson, a five-time Olympic medalist, is considered the fastest woman alive.

She also won silver in the 100-meter and 4x100-meter, as well as bronze in the 100-meter and 400-meter Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro and Tokyo.
