FILE - Sydney McLaughlin, of the United States, wins the women's 400-meter hurdles final ahead of Femke Bol, of the Netherlands, at the 2020 Summer Olympics, Wednesday, Aug. 4, 2021, in Tokyo, Japan. The two greatest women's hurdlers of their era have been plotting, planning and training — and, whether by design or by happenstance — mostly avoiding each other for the past two years. If things go right for them, Sydney McLaughlin-Levrone of America and Femke Bol of the Netherlands are headed for what would be only their third career showdown at the Paris Olympics.
