Sydney McLaughlin-Levrone

And maybe you remember this.

Her name is Sydney McLaughlin.

I probably mispronounced her name.

But she won gold in 2024 for the 400 meters hurdle for the US.

Just incredible athlete, obviously.

Uh, Sydney McLaughlin, I mentioned her earlier.

She's, uh, she's set, she has set the world record, like, six times in the 400 meter hurdles.

She'll probably be the talk of the 2028 Olympics.

[laughs]

It does feel like New Balance is, is kind of like riding this new wave of relevancy.

I mean, Joe talked about in the episode they have Ohtani as an ambassador, Coco Gauff, Sydney McLaughlin, Josh Allen.

So they are not a forgotten brand anymore, especially when it comes to sports, and it's so exciting.

Yeah.

There's a, um, track star, I think it's Sydney McLaughlin.

Mm-hmm.

I don't know if I'm pronouncing her last name right.

So we're gonna have 150 people, and we have five athletes who are bringing new ideas.

Um, so we have Carmelo Anthony, one of our, our first, um, Sport Beach supporters; um, Lexie Hull, the Indiana Fever guard; Eli Manning, um, two to- two-time Super Bowl MVP; Peyton Manning, uh, NFL Hall of Famer and I think five-time NFL MVP; um, and Sydney McLaughlin, the sprinter.

Each of them has a new idea that they haven't shared before they're gonna bring to this room.

They're gonna pitch the idea five to seven minutes.

Well, first of all, thank you for sharing, 'cause I wasn't sure yet whether you were ready to unveil some of those athlete names.

That's very exciting.

Shout out to, uh, my girl Sydney McLaughlin-

[laughs]

You know what I mean? But if you're...

What's that woman's name? Sydney McLaughlin, the one who's just-

Ooh, yes

... unreal at running hurdles.
