She's always in a class of her own..amazing to watch..brilliant pace, brilliant finish🎉
Always?
What class was she at the IAAF championships or the Olympics?
With a time of 52.76 and you called that a class of it's own? You must be joking.
@@jamessoo4486 check her credentials, american nobody
She hasn't beat any of the top dogs. 😂
You Bol fans are really delusional, lol------what class?? beating a bunch of second-rated hurdlers?? funny
Wow! As good as Fem is, you get to appreciate Sydney’s monstrosity of a record even more.
@@stevemar.6758u gave her the drugs.?
@@stevemar.6758She is hidding. 🤣
Sydney might not even run the hurdles this year…
@@kenisme1000 If Britton wins 400m at US trials and Sydney dont runs a sub49 race than she might return to 400mh. Because easier to get Gold.
Just to imagine that Sydney is 2 full seconds ahead is mind blowing
She was asked by her coaches to start furiously and told afterwards she was tired at the end and not yet used to this strategy. But as she said, it’s all part of my preparation towards Budapest.
Remember that her coaches did the same (push her to go faster the first 1/3) after the Metz (France) meet for her indoor season. The next meet after that she also struggled a bit, but it resulted in the WR later, so I guess it's a good strategy from her coaches 🙂.
As a side note, nobody is mentioning the weather, which was far from ideal this meet and caused most results to be a bit "underwhelming" ...
She is working hard for the second position in Budapest----I admire her for that.
@@kobbieafriyie2172 She said last year: “I love the hurdles and I will continue to do them even if I would stay second my whole career.”
But we will talk again after Budapest.
@@hermanmertens8383 that's why I said earlier that I admire her for accepting her rightful second position---at least she is not as delusional as some of her fans who truly believe that her new 14 or 15 steps or how many steps will radically get her close to Sydney.
Don't care what anyone else says. Bol is definitely going to win worlds. Syd is still 50/50 on whether she'll do the 400m flat or 400mh, but 400m flat is more likely.
Since Bol also wants that 400mh WR, I'm gonna give her a very optimistic 51.3 for gold.
It pretty clear behind the scenes Sydney has chosen the 400 flat, she just doesn't want to put extra pressure on herself come the US Trials.
When she qualifies for the flat in Eugene she'll just run it in Budapest. It might even just be a PR stunt to build hype and suspense which is smart.
But 51.3 is bogus ngl, let the girl go sub 52 first at least 😂
It's not clear what Sydney is doing for Worlds. She has a bye so she doesnt have to run the 400m hurdles leading up to USAs. Noone knows what Sydney is doing so how can you tell us lol
She won't win the flat though
Bol is good but not a class of it's own, and definitely not a class with Sydney. With the run of 52.76, how on earth can one says Bol is a class on its own. And 52.76 is definitely NOT going to win the worlds. Get real.
Congratulations
I love her. ❤❤❤
Go Viivi 🇫🇮🎉👏
A very different race to her usual style. Bol normally starts of medium paced, but this time came out of the block like a rocket and struggled quite a bit towards the end.
Nice!!😎
She didn't have to run that fast 🙄😸
Everything is relative & it's always impressive to see someone completely outclass the rest of the field, but isn't it also great to have two "once in a generation" athletes competing at the same event at the same time?
Bol is in a league of her own…in Europe…until Sydney comes over…that is…
Oh you right but don`t forget to mention her coach than , Bobby you know Bobby the "performance-enhancing drugs." Kersee.. I hope she is not ending like Flo-jo. 🤔
@@harrimannproof?
@@BCNpod Armstrong was tested about 275 times in his cycling career , never tested positive, it's simply hard to test people for performance-enhancing drugs.. But tell me , if you want to follow the clean street, why you choose a coach like Bob Kersee 🤔🤔🙄🙄
Bol is in her own league in the WORLD she has the Season Best in front of 3 americans, 3 jamaicans, 2 other europeans and 1 canadian. The only to run in 52 sec. when others run on 53 and 54 sec. The question is if she can run faster than the Olympic and world champion McLaughlin...
@@harrimann ..so you are assigning presumed guilt by association then. Because in that case, you really don’t have to prove anything. You can just say “oh Sydney won because the tests didn’t catch her..that’s all”….but you don’t actually have to prove she did it. This is silly though..When we saw Sydney compete as a freshman in HS she was already the best in the state. Best in the country as a sophomore. Olympics after her junior year. She's always been a phenom and it was always believed by those that paid attention that she could be the greatest 400mh of all time. Did we see her running a 50.xx? No, but its not surprising considering she was running a 56.xx in the 400mh at age 14….
Who is better Fem or Sydney?
Femke is 10 times better 😊😊😊
Well considering Sydney's WR is a whole 2 seconds faster than what you just saw, I'd say Sydney is in a different universe.
@@olubusayoYeah and her 400m only 1 second better than that WR 400mh. Comparing Femke is running almost 3 seconds faster on 400m than 400mh P.B.
@@paulvanamersfoortkeep deceiving yourself. We all know she can't keep up with Sydney. They aren't even rivals.
@@chizorokolie8445 True. Not even close.
She does not seem happy! Her PB is 52.03 and maybe she is pressed to improve and run bellow 52.00 what is not happening...!
She's not in a league of her own! We all know about Sydney. Sydeny's 4 flat times are faster and her 4 hurdles times are faster. I love Bol and hope she continues to improve and catches up with Mclaughlin, but to say she is in a League of her own is misleading.
Bol's 400m PB is faster than Sydney's though.
Syd has only ran the 400m 2x lol Femke has run it at least 5x lol
@@Meckan I stand corrected.
"She's not in a league of her own! We all know about Sydney." ... A league of her own doesn't have to be the same league as Sydney though, there are more leagues than just the top one. And if you've watched Femke in the DL the past 2 years, you'd know that it's very rare for another athlete to come even close to her. So maybe not top league (yet), but definitely in a league of her own ...
@@MeckanYes even indoors with WR 49.2s way faster than Sydney.
Nope OP, Bol is chasing someone who is in a class of her own with a record time of 2 full seconds ahead of this time. Do you even know how far ahead is 2 seconds? I'm a Bol fan but you have to be realistic
Syd seldom runs the Diamond League though, and only runs a very small number of races while Bol is the complete opposite and probably runs too many. Bol crushes everybody on the DL and against the fields she competes in, she's very much a league of her own.
Opinions can differ on how close people think Bol can now get to SML (after all, people love to use the WR as the yardstick and compare it to every time Femke runs, as though Sydney will run that time every time she takes the track), but it's clear that nobody else bar McLaughlin is any real opposition for Bol to run against at this point, and as long as SML is continuing to run a very limited schedule and largely in the US only, we aren't going to get many chances to see Bol in a situation where she isn't going in as the clear and obvious favourite.
You may reconsider. Gap 0.77 sec. now and still closing.
A class of her own with average runners, YES.
NOT SYDNEY M OR DALILAH M TIMING YET
sssssshhh....check her credentials
@@zeffie100 you should shut up. Sydney just ran a 48.7! she is very slow as usual!
She's beaten Dalilah every time they've faced since Tokyo. Runners don't run their PB times every time they take the track. We don't know how close she can get to Sydney because Syd hardly races outside the US and has had a very disrupted season this year, but McLaughlin is the last 'hurdle' left for Femke. It remains to be seen whether she'll ever get to a point where she can beat Sydney (or at least a motivated, healthy Sydney), but she's beaten everybody else in the world all ends up over and over again. Sydney likely still beats her, health/motivation permitting, sure, but when there's such a clear drop off from #2 to #3 in the world, it's a shame we don't get to see #1 race #2. I'd like to see if the gap between Syd and Femke is now smaller than the gap between Femke and everybody else.
she's still closer to 53 sec than 51 sec, she's not in another category, she just races more👎👎👎
Said by someone who probably cannot finish an entire lap
She’s lucky Sydney McLaughlin wasn’t there to crush her like usual 🤷♀️. U.S.A! U.S.A!
Rlly the same sydney who got dusted easily in 400m such a hype up trash
That's not luck, the DL in Paris was Sydney's first DL in a long time and it's quite more common to NOT race against Sydney.
Femke raced against Sydney a total of 2 times (2021 Olympics, 2022 WC) and while you're correct that Sydney won both by a big margin, 2 times isn't exactly "as usual".
But it's nice you're supporting a great athlete like Sydney McLaughlin-Levrone and the Unpopular Smartass Association ... 🙂
🤣Well Sydney isn't here.... why won't you give Bol credit where it's due. Are you jealous that she's winning while Sydney is sleeping in USA?
Bol has really improved this year. ...and even if Sydney is the favourite.....she won't be able to lead the race by a big margin as before
Not Bol’s fault Sydney isn’t there- grow up Justine
Femke is 10 times better. USA is a third world country
