Femke Bol's story was the absolute highlight of Budapest 2023. Her "redemption" at the very close of the championship was so much more meaningful because it was a team win. During an interview right after her 400 hurdles win several days earlier, she was asked about the first night loss. She said her teammates were of course disappointed but were mainly concerned about HER mental state. They wanted to make sure she could focus on her upcoming 400 hurdles. She said she could not have won her individual gold without their support.
So on that final night, she overtook Jamaica in the last meters through sheer willpower because she was fighting for her teammates, as demonstrated by the fact that she collapsed to the ground several times to catch her breath, barely able to share in her teammates' celebration. I've never, ever seen her so exhausted. It was a fantastic sports moment because you could see true camaraderie. This was a genuine team, not merely a collection of individual athletes.
Edit: Here's the interview I mentioned: ua-cam.com/video/rbFSAno_ays/v-deo.html
Do indoor 2024 season ?
It really is a testament to her mental fortitude after dropping the baton meters from the finish to pick herself up, own the hurdles and come back to walk down the field in the final 4x4. I didn’t know her teammates were there comforting her but that is such a touching moment.
Sorry she is amazing but I never saw true remorse for her teammates. It was all about her and how they supported her. Even in the interview. I was rooting for her to say that and show that.
I'm not even that big a t&f fan, but I could watch Bol run all day. It's just beautiful.
Alyson Felix has the all-time most beautiful stride tho.
@@usmh but Allyson ain't running anymore. And beauty is subjective.
@@Thereallevan beauty is subjective and it counts for all not just Alison Felix
Same here
Femke is a joy to behold, she has such an easy, controlled, long & balanced stride, paired with unbelievable power in her kick. And, she just seems to be the nicest, kindest person, and so supportive of her competitors. I tune into ANY race she runs. Hope she has the greatest life.
Her 4×400 finish is the greatest l've ever see! It's saved on my phone to rewatch.
It is riveting to watch. Her closing 50m was ASTONISHING. The announcer near popped a hernia calling it!
Great finish I agree . But the greatest finish I have seen was the comeback by the late great Lillian Board at the 1969 Euro Champs in the women's 4 x 400 relay. Lillian had to beat the Olympic champion and world record holder at 400metres = Carlotte Besson. It looked as if she had not got up . The commentary by David Coleman was equally epic.
But it is poignant that Lillian was already sufferings the effects of what at the time was undiagnosed Bowel Cancer. Lillian died from that condition just over one year after this race. She had just celebrated her 22nd Birthday.
It was like she switched on one turbo on each of her legs
That was Colette Besson@@keithbate9405
I saved it in the computer and i watch it everytime i wanna see something of beautyful!
As a very proud fellow-Dutchy I’ve never shouted so hard at my TV watching that WC-relay last year. It was the greatest come-back in a 4x400 ever! She is really something else…..
Sy is definitief, " something else " , nog baie jare om te verbeter, ook. Roy b, CapeTown south africa 🇿🇦
This young woman is incredible. She came out of nowhere and since tokyo she is crashing it! She has the brightest future!
We love her here in Texas- I've been watching the Olympics heavily since Tokyo 1964 when incredible Billy Mills won the 10,000 meter (still the only American to do so) and then there was the tingling excitement of Jean-Claude Killy winning all three Alpine races in 1968 at Grenoble. Those events still swim happily in our memories 59 years on now. It will be the same with Femke. She da Bomb.
@@sitarnut All hail the great white athlete!
One classy lassie with a super-fast chassis
She's so likeable and normal off-track but an absolute optimized machine when she's going fast.
It’s such a privilege to witness perfection. Saw that come back and couldn’t help be be excited for her. Like watching a “no-hitter “ in baseball…super rare! Its going to be fun to watcher her in the Paris games
What an incredibly amazing athlete. A privilege to watch her run. Thank you for highlighting and sharing these performances with us all.
What's amazing is that she changed up her stride pattern and looked awkward in the hurdles for the first half of the season while still dominating as she did.
She is amazing. An inspiration to watch. She runs so effortlessly beautiful, I’m blown away.
She's great and so nice as well. I wish her all the best.
Hopefully we get to see her and Sydney go head to head in the 400mH in Paris next year. ❤
I hope so also with both women at their peak. As good as Bol is, she is still at least one second behind Sydney.
Sydney is not going to run the 400mH at the Olympics. She said there is nothing more for her to accomplish there and she is solely focused on the 400m!
@@mangojulie123 and thats both not true and a shame imo. But theres only opinion thst matters when it regards her career and thats hers
@@Magnusficationher coaches opinion too*
@@MagnusficationSydney broke the world record 3 times in a year. What must she prove? If Femke can break the world record then maybe Sydney will have a go at hurdles again.
What fans want to see is a schedule that's kind enough to allow talented multi-event athletes like Femke, Syd, Britton & Shamier battle over both 400m/400mH @Global Champs! Should be noted that outside of this year's prelim round @JAM Champs where she deliberately jogged to an easy 2nd place before easily winning the Final, Shericka Jackson has been unbeaten in the 200m going back to the Rome DL of early June '22 - that's 19 wins from 20 races which includes 2 WC Golds & 5 of the Top 8 times in history!
to be honest it's not a competition in the 400m/400mh, syd will take it all if she feels like it.
@@kofirossi2184It'd be interesting to see how running 6 races across those 2 events at the same Global Champs would affect all 4 of those athletes individually.
@@kofirossi2184Everyone also basically said it was a foregone conclusion she was going to break the 400m record this year too but where was she all season? She’s a generational talent GOAT, but something went wrong this season and it’s not right to say athlete A only won because athlete B wasn’t there.
@@pete5691 Hope those ppl realise just how difficult the 400m is given that she came close (48.74) this season but didn't break Sanya's 48.70 US Record which is still a HUGE 1.11s away from breaking that fraudulent 47.60 'WR'.
@@AllInTheGame01 Most people do not realize how much distance a second is in the 400. Even at 60 second pace you are covering about 6 meters per second, at 50 second pace you are right at 8 meters per second on average.
Incredible year for Bol!
Bol’s comeback in the last 50mtrs of the 4 x 400 will stand as one of the greatest achievements on track for a long time to come!
When you look at Femke’s 51.45 leaving her competition in the dust, you really come to appreciate how insane Mclaughlin’s 50.68s run truly was. Femke here looked flawless and so much better than others, that it makes it hard to imagine there’s a time out there that is still much faster.
@@user-kt1oq9oq6b What are you even talking about lmao.
@@user-kt1oq9oq6bI mean a race dog smoke all the boys and men, but we aren't comparing those, are we. You knob.
@@user-kt1oq9oq6b And what has that to do with anything?
Sydney is better is all they are saying. It’s just arithmetic. Not an insult.
Take a look at McLaughlin's world record of 50.68. Bol was 1.57 seconds behind her in that race.
She us simply the best forever plus she is charusmatic. I love her. We had Bolt and now Bol, I Hope she will win gold medals at Paris 2024
this is the best coverage of Femke she is amazing and so fun to watch she is so graceful poweful yet feminine and sweet !
She is a great athlete and i am looking forward to see her at the Olympics.
one of the greatest performances i have ever seen - unbelievable she could win after being that far back
great video of pure GREATNESS! what an athlete, mindset of a winner!
Reminds me of Ed Moses from the 80's, he was unbeaten for 9 years, 9 months and 9 days over 400m H.
The running form is crazy! She is so good
The moment when Femke Bol falls at 7 minutes and 10 seconds. Femke later explained this to the Dutch camera: 'It also shows that I am only a human being and not a robot' Greetings from the Netherlands
Such a great talent!
This was really well made.
She s so so nice as a person too !!! Really young and soulfull
She is a beast on the track 💪💪💪💪
wow...she really got that "i´m not even trying" vibe,amazing!
So refreshing
I'm impressed. She is so fast, wish I could be even close to that.
She has a competitors heart, champion spirit. All the best to Femke, just out there doing her thing, what she loves to do, and does extremely well.👏🏾😃♥️
Always a pleasure to watch peak performance
Femke Bol(t) is incredible un-stop-pa-BOL ; hopefully she wins World Athlete of 2023 ; she really deserves it i hope ; ,never ever a dutch atlete wins this special prize ; iam dutch 2
Just found out----Thanks-great Vid.. covered most everything---Beautiful Form
Amazing!
From Bolt to Bol.
This girl is insane
A phenomenal athlete - generational talent.
Except Sydney is better.
@@tompaulcampbell Great, the universe makes sense again.
I was wondering if a comment that compliments Femke could exist without a reply mentioning she's nothing compared to Sydney.
In case anybody was wondering, yes, it's impossible for any athlete to do anything remotely impressive while Sydney is alive... 🙂
@@tompaulcampbell She WAS better.
@@hermanmertens8383IS about a sec better
@@stephenwilliams7200 No.
What an athlete !
I can't believe you still can't believe this actually happened.
I totally believe you can't believe he still can't believe this actually happened.
What is happening?@@sfprivateer
Her margins of victory are freakish!
Yeah we all know she is not competting without help?
The thought did cross my mind with those margins.@@michaelash2429
Okay but apeldoorn was march 2025
@@michaelash2429 "we" dont know that about anyone.
Her talent, but especially her will to achieve it in a healthy way in all facets, is the base
She looks like the real deal!
I ran the 400 in high school and college. At the time I thought I was good. What I saw here? I could never even be in the same stadium as this, this, this, MACHINE! I’m not saying she’s not human. I’m saying she’s a more evolved human than I will ever be.
Watching her run i can learn a lot.
She is very good.❤️.
She makes the other runners look like they’re jogging, not running😆
Indoor is my favorite no wind and weather to determine the winner.
Proud to be Dutch... :)
She runs like a gazelle. So elegant.
Bol is going gold in Paris for sure. No doubt.
Yes, maybe in the 4 X 400m relay. But not in her main event, the 400m hurdles. She'll finish second to the GOAT, Sydney Mc. Hoping they both break the world record at the Olympics.
Sydney Mc:Laughlin may have something to say about that.....I really like Bol...BUT McLaughlin is out of this world..and she makes it look easy...
in total she lost 1 race this year, a 200 meter, while the day before she did win a 200 meter in a time that would have been enough to win that lost race too. so she could have been totally undefeated this season, but hey, cant blame her on losing a 200 meter, which she doesnt train for and has no experience on.
“has no experience on” is a very false statement 😅
@@peterparker1724 Are you saying she DOES have experience in the 200m? If so can you back that up with facts? I honestly don't know, but this should be pretty easy to see who is right: you or joowsty
@@ncg4132 read the first part of their own comment? 🤨
@@peterparker1724 on the 200 meter she doesnt have nearly as much experience as on 400 meter lol.
@@joowsty Data?
As for the list of top 20 women's 400 m hurdles times, spare a thought for Yulia Pechonkina in spot 20. Shows how dominant the big three are in this event. I hope Sydney returns to full fitness. The showdown between bol and her would make for one hell of a race. Quite frankly, I think Bol has closed the gap and it could come down to the wire.
Beauty.
Goddess
Bol and McLaughlin carry their arms perfectly,
1:07 her celebration clap is so cute, so unique
Paris 2024 is going to be a delight!
Low arms, not bent too extreme. She's got great form and I'm glad to see her progress. Massive respect for her efforts and accomplishments!
Curious if there are any other angles of her falling at 7:09
1:03 great camera angle
She runs like the terminator, like a machine
Let’s go
Bol did break the record on my birthday...! So I proudly say an old Dutch slogan... I want Bol(leke)!
And okay...not for dating or something more... I'am much too old for that kind of stuff... but I like to see her winning; that is what makes me proud of her!
It's 'Ik wil bolletje', but close enough to be recognised!
She beat top class atlethes with seconds!
7:09 you can see the runner next to her hit her baton.
She will make the internationals, in the presence of other world champions, more interesting. ❤❤❤❤👍👍👍👍👍🙏
Plz make a video on Neil laros related to their workout something like that
I'm not sure I get why the final 100 meters wasn't shown in its entirety.
And she did it all without taunting anyone, without airplane arms, wide open mouth, or fake telephone calls. Nice to watch a classy sprinter.
😅😅😅😅
Hey, a lil bit of show boating is good for the sport. And someone has to be the villan.
What a simp
Never liked showboating in sports. Irritating to watch.
@@triedproven9908not really.... maybe for immature sport fans or someone with a culture where sport merit and sportsmanship is not enough...
I’m a casual observer of track so how does Abby Steiner stack up against her? Or are they in two different worlds?
Probably interesting. Abby's better at 100, Bol at 400. At 200 it'd be close but I'd give it to Abby.
Wouldn't be close at all in the 200m given Abby's 21.77 PB to Femke's 22.88. While Abby has potential in the 400m having run a number of quick splits in 4x4 relays, she's strangely yet to run an official individual outdoor 400m race, whereas Femke has run 49.44 outdoors & could run sub 49s if she focused on the event. Femke's also the indoor 400m WR Holder with 49.26 (Abby has run 50.59 indoors).
@@AllInTheGame01
So my next question is will there come a situation where they will compete against each other?
@@brianboyle5934they may compete in relays. But those results would also have to consider the teammates. Femke is primarily a hurdler and Abby is a flat track runner. There is a chance they could compete against each other.
@@brianboyle5934 They could race each other in a one-off 400m race on the circuit as part of their early season prep but are unlikely to race each other in an individual event @WC/Olympics until they switch from their primary 200m/400mH events to the 400m full-time. They could potentially race each other in the 4x4 relay if they both run the same leg for their respective countries, but Femke typically runs the Anchor leg for NED while Syd (not Abby) runs the Anchor leg for USA.
Ik wil Bolletje ! ❤
She should marry Bol Bol so that his name will be Bol Bol-Bol
What is her relationship to Manute Bol?
@@donshields2379 And fellow athlete Peter Bol?
@@AllInTheGame01 yes
I waiting for her to drop a disstrack:
🎶What U-sayin?
I'm like Bolt taking off his T (shirt)
Let me spill the tea (sure)
I'm the greatst runner yall have ever seen (yeah)
You thought you heard all?
That's happenin to hurdles?
Break down my competition, ya know I hurt all
Blast 'em away like squirtle
Gold medals? I assured all!
My dominance? I assert (oh)
Who's leavin all other runners in the dirt? - Bol! 🔥
That's my Girl ❤❤
Creep
Femke Bolt
An oustanding athlete in any generation. You cannot underestimate the strength of a 400m hurdler when doing a relay leg. THis has happened many times before. Look at some of the USA 4x4 relay teams, you have have sprinters and 400 specialist, UK did it ith John Regis many years ago. BArring injury, Femke has amny years ahead of her - 400m hurdles world record (maybe) but not for at least a couple of years.
🎉🎉🎉
6:03 When you realize she is running against professional runners!
shes still almost 1 full second BEHIND the world record.
No, she broke the women 400m indoor/short track (“400m sh”) record of 49.53, set by Jarmila Kratochvílová in 1983, with a time of 49.26. She then bettered it this year with 49.17 at the World Indoor Track and Field Championships in Glasgow. The 400m sh stands alongside the 400m outdoor as its own category - but is generally considered to run a second + slower than the outdoor.
Man of culture, gather around
RIP KIPTUM, he was going to be the man to break the 2HR barrier
Plus she is Dutch and she is a babe 🤩
the similarity between Bol and Bolt cant be a coincedence
Sarcasm noted.
Hope she does the 400m & 400m hurdles double in Paris.
Schedule doesn’t fit both disciplines including heats and including 4x400 relays, which she wants to race as well (she is a real team player).
Her strong preference is 400 hurdles, so that for sure will be her choice and not 400 flat.
Is that a six pack beside her six pack?
Revenge of the fallen
Silver
Sadly, marathoner Kelvin Kiptum and his coach were killed when Kiptum lost control of his car and crashed into a tree on 09/11/24.
Those are not even her main events. She's a hurdles runner and fully dominates there lol
The really crazy thing that nobody talks about is that Lieke Klaver ran the second leg at 48.74 while Bol's anchor leg was 48.80. Klaver's time was just a hair faster than Bol's. Without Klaver's amazing time the win would probably have been out of reach for Bol.
Bol can run way faster than 48.80(and than Klaver) so the win would not have been out of reach
@@francescostano4445 Klaver made up a lot of ground after the first leg. She closed up the gap that the Jamaicans had. Both her and Bol ran about 3 seconds faster than the ladies in the first and third leg. If Klaver hadn't closed that gap I am not sure Bol could have pulled it off. Ask yourself if Bol could have cut another 3 seconds off of her time,..I really doubt it.
@@stevenjeffrey4637 obviously not 3 seconds, she could have cut 1 second
Klaver ran a split of 48.78 and Bol ran 48.75, so they were really close this race.
(split times are from the World Athletics website btw, so these are the official ones)
Femke Bol has run a faster split before (48.52 in 2022) by the way.
The 4x400m is however a team effort and it takes 4 good runners to win gold at Worlds...
@@_MicZ_ Obviously we got different numbers from different sources. And you validate my point, nobody talks about the effort made by the other ladies,..just Bol because of her great anchor, especially when according to the numbers I have seen Klaver ran an equally fast leg (3 hundredths of a second whichever way you look at it). So my point isn't making it a competition about who ran the faster leg, it's the fact that Klaver should get every bit as much praise for running virtually the same time as Bol.
like a gazelle ... her form is like watching a gazelle in its natural environment effortlessly prancing to safety while the hunters scratch their heads.
