2024 Women’s 400 World Rankings

Undefeated and ascendant on the all-time list, Marileidy Paulino scored a repeat No. 1. (JEFF COHEN)

UNDEFEATED SINCE July of ’23, Marileidy Paulino was a no-question No. 1 for the second year in a row. Her gold-winning 48.17 moved her to No. 4 on the all-time list and she won 6 DL races…

THE RUNNER-UP SPOT was a tight decision between the other two medalists, Natalia Buckowiecka and Salwa Eid Naser. Neither of them won a DL race, but the Pole was solid, with four 2nds and two 3rds. Naser, on the other hand, had a 2nd a 3rd and a DQ so they reverse…

LONG-HURDLE STARS Sydney McLaughlin-Levrone and Femke Bol had extremely thin seasons, but were good enough to claim the final two positions. Bol’s 49.24 and 49.17 were new World Indoor Records.
