She's had to lower her stride pattern for the hurdles just to try and keep up with what Sydney has been doing. And going on times this year its working.
This. Sydney is a metronome. Does not alter her stride pattern at all. Completely changed the women’s event.

I think the US needs to recognize in general that

1) These European teams take track seriously
2) These European teams have immigrants / kids of immigrants that are helping out the athletic talent pool
3) As a result, you need to run your best athletes at all the events, lest you get caught slipping
