Sydney McLaughlin broke her own world record Friday night with a winning time of 50.68 seconds in the women's 400-meters hurdles at the 2022 World Athletics Championships in Oregon.

McLaughlin shattered the previous mark of 51.41 seconds, which she set at the 2022 USA Outdoor Track and Field Championships in June.

"It's just putting everything that you've done in practice into the race to the point where you're just letting your body do what it does,'' McLaughlin told reporters.

Apple fixes iPhone and iPad bug used in an 'extremely sophisticated attack'
On Monday, Apple released updates for its mobile operating systems for iOS and iPadOS, which fixed a flaw that the company said “may have been exploited in an extremely sophisticated attack against specific targeted individuals.” Introduced in 2018, USB Restricted Mode is a security feature that blocks the ability for an iPhone or iPad to send data over a USB connection if the device isn’t unlocked for seven days. Last year, Apple released another security feature that reboots devices if they are not unlocked for 72 hours, making it harder for law enforcement or criminals using forensic tools to access data on those devices.
