{{Athletics at the 2024 Summer Olympics}}

The women's 400 metres hurdles at the 2024 Summer Olympics was held in four rounds at the Stade de France in Paris, France, from 4 to 8 August 2024. This was the eleventh time that the women's 400 metres hurdles was contested at the Summer Olympics. A total of 40 athletes were able to qualify for the event by entry standard or ranking.

Summary

Returning gold medalist Sydney McLaughlin-Levrone had improved the world record five times, each year at the U.S. Championships while qualifying and then at the major championship. Leading up to these championships, she set the record again at the U.S. Trials. Third in Tokyo behind Dalilah Muhammad #3 of all time, Femke Bol had risen to silver at the 2022 World Championships and in McLaughlin-Levrone's absence won gold in 2023. Earlier in 2024, Bol ran 50.95 at the record-setting track in La Chaux-de-Fonds, becoming the #2 performer in history.

In the final, McLaughlin-Levrone went out fastest over the first hurdle with Jasmine Jones second. McLaughlin-Levrone continued conservatively for herself down the backstretch, gaining on Bol, who was in the lane immediately to her outside. By the 200, McLaughlin-Levrone had made up the stagger on Bol. McLaughlin-Levrone just continued to pull ahead to an insurmountable lead and successfully defended her Olympic title. Cockrell took the final hurdle smoothly, passing Bol, and surged ahead to run in for silver. Bol won her second consecutive Olympic bronze medal in this event.{{cite web |title=Women's 400m Hurdles - Final race analysis |url=https://olympics.com/OG2024/pdf/OG2024/ATH/OG2024_ATH_C77A_ATHW400MHURD----------FNL-000100--.pdf |website=Olympics |access-date=9 August 2024 |date=8 August 2024}}

McLaughlin-Levrone set a new world record at 50.37. Anna Cockrell became the #4 performer with her 51.87, the 13th fastest performance in history (behind 7 by McLaughlin-Levrone, 4 by Bol, and Muhammad's Olympic silver medal). Bol's 52.15 was only her 8th best but was #19 in history. In fourth, Jasmine Jones became the #5 performer in history. Fifth place Rushell Clayton became #13. The top four would have won any Olympics before 2020.

The final was the fastest women's 400-meter hurdles race in Olympic history collectively: five of the eight women ran under 52.7 seconds, with these times ranking among the top 11 in Olympic history.{{cite web |url=http://www.alltime-athletics.com/w_400hok.htm |title=Women's 400m Hurdles}} The winning margin was 1.50 seconds - the greatest winning margin for the women's 400 metres hurdles at any Olympics.

Background

The women's 400 metres hurdles was first introduced at the 1984 Summer Olympics in Los Angeles, United States and was contested ten times at the Summer Olympics before 2024: every four years, although the 2020 edition was postponed to 2021 due to the COVID-19 pandemic.Steve Smythe, "[https://athleticsweekly.com/featured/olympic-history-womens-400m-hurdles-47712/ Olympic history: Women’s 400m hurdles]", Athletics Weekly, 28 July 2016. Retrieved 30 June 2024."[https://www.bbc.com/sport/olympics/52020134 Tokyo 2020: Olympic and Paralympic Games postponed because of coronavirus]", BBC, 24 March 2020. Retrieved 29 June 2024. That year, Sydney McLaughlin-Levrone from the United States won the event in a world and Olympic record of 51.46 seconds. Since then, McLaughlin-Levrone lowered her world record three times, most recently at the 2024 U.S. Olympic Trials, where she ran a time of 50.65 seconds.{{Cite web |last=Gabriel |first=Jessi |date=30 June 2024 |title=McLaughlin-Levrone breaks world 400m hurdles record at US Trials |url=https://worldathletics.org/competitions/olympic-games/paris24/news/article/sydney-mclaughlin-levrone-world-400m-hurdles-record-us-olympic-trials |access-date=1 July 2024 |website=World Athletics}}
