Yes...Bol is great🙂🥳😎 Look up Tanner Adams, Cole Beck, Aria Pearce and Victoria Cameron also🙂 I also like Kennedy Smith and Coby Hilton

And from how she acts and how others act around her, she seems like a great human being too.

Who?

@@MyFriendlyPup World Number One, Femke Bol of course.

@@MyFriendlyPup doctor Who?

​@@MyFriendlyPupworlds best 400m runner and best 400m hurdler

what analysis? they talked about her...that's all...there was no 'in-depth' analysis'

I actually did consider this after watching a vid of her talking about it! I wasn't 100% sure though just how ergogenic this change was given her flat speed had notably improved too, but a fair consideration nonetheless haha.

@@RunnerBoi To be a bit picky I must say I also missed a view on her trainings labor. She is a very hard, dedicated and disciplined worker. But you very good emphasized the constant growth in her career, that hasn’t ended yet. Her trainer Laurent Meuwly said recently that test during last winter training pointed in the direction of increased raw speed, endurance and power. According to her changed stride pattern: that is a huge change, but necessary because with 15 steps she endend too short before the hurdles at the cost of speed. This transition was started more than a year ago and was initially meant to fully pay off not before Paris. That is the time and place to step out of my comfort zone, she recently said. Maybe you concentrated a little too much on her steady improving performances. I would have liked to have your opinion about an expected outdoor time, related to her indoor WR in Glasgow.

You completely overlooked her 300 metres hurdles world best ( record )in Ostrava.

@@RunnerBoi Well the switch to 14 steps certainly marked a next step up in the hurdles performance, and I even think it will have had an influence on her flat 400 performance because it enabled her to start using her natural long stride in a more free and natural way...

Femke will run the 400meter flat at the FBK games just one month before the Paris Olympics, let's hope Lieke Klaver got an invitation, too !

facts

TRP used to be like this 😔

Bothered me as well. Nothing funny about it

Hi femke,,,sweet morning And please activity ,,, kiss

I look at all those communist records prior to WADA as bullshit.

I agree but unfortunately Sidney almost never races.

Why would you even look at it like that.Its like comparing a car to a bicycle. INDOOR has twice as many bends .

@JohnJohn-cu7nk that's the point. Indoor times are normally slower so Bol being 20th all time over all 400m is really impressive.

I'm guessing because of copyright issues that might otherwise pop up.

Euhm... Little fact check. We all know that mrs McLaughlin is (or at least: was) no slouch. However, relay times are not comparable to "normal" 400 times. The reason for this is that in the relay the runner has a "flying start" in the handover zone, and crosses the "startline" of her 400 leg already at speed.. Furthermore the anchorrunner does not need to hand over at the end, so she has a big advantage... Reality is that untill now McLaughlin has not shown very much on the 400 m flat. With her PB of 48.74 she is only nr.5. in the world on the combined list of IAF scores indoor and outdoor, with 1257 IAF points, versus 1272 IAF points for Femke Bol for her Indoor World Record of 49.17 which is a shared nr.1. with Shaunae Miller Uibo for her 48.36 outdoor PB. So, it is time for mrs McLaughlin to step up and start delivering some actual performances! But I am afraid that that will not happen before the Paris Olympics...

Assumptions, asssumptions, assumptions.

Something else to think about, Mclaughlin is only 6 months older than Bol, and Mclaughlin's split in her 4x400 win was also otherworldly - 47.91

​@@aredditor4272 Maybe, but Bol's split in the WC was 48.43 (and NOT the 48.75 that was published only months later), which is very quick also, and Bol is consistently quicker on the flat (Bol's indoor WR is worth 1272 IAF points, McLaughlins PB on the flat is worth 1257 IAF points). But split times on relays are very unreliable anyway, because on the relay the runners get a flying start as they already are making speed in the hand-over zone, before they actually cross the startline... And how much speed they already build up in that handover zone is very dependent on the way the handover goes. So relay times are really not comparable to anything. However, if we start speculating (!), I have a few other interesting speculations for you: Bol's WR on the flat indoor is 49.17, which is a whopping 0.42 seconds faster than Jarmila Kratochvilova's WR from 38 years before. But Jarmila Kratochvilova also was the last holder of the Outdoor 400m WR with a time of 47.99 before Marita Koch ran her infamous 47.60. This 47.99 by Kratochvilova also happens the only other sub 48 time on the 400 ever (!) run by a woman. However, if Bol is able to beat Kratochvilova by 0.42 indoors there should be no reason why she should not be able to do that outdoors (when they step indoor or outdoor, they remain the same athletes...), and 47.99 - 0.42 = .... right. So i think you see my point...

​​@@aredditor427249.17 indoors is still far better than 49.71 outdoors with flying start

@@aredditor4272 Something else to think about: Just like the Eastern European women in the communist era, SML does not run outside championships and has a coach who knows about doping.

@@1973HenkY so you're saying Jenna Prandini is a cheater because of who coaches her. Got it

??? Whut u smokin bro? She clapped in her hands after looking at the scoreboard while still running.

Run fast, looks easy.

400m 400mH

400m (the hardest one apparently) you gotta fast for a long time it just barely bridges the gate between long distance and the spirit

@@lewissteward65 400mH is harder tbh

What was said in this video that was negative towards Sydney exactly ? If it's about her not competing much outside of Olympics and Worlds, that's not negative, that's just how Sydney competed the last 3 years. I think the video certainly praises Femke more, but hey, it's a video about her ...

What? Bol is one of the most well known athletes in the world

In the looks department I prefer Bol.

Yep, The longest straigh line you can draw anywhere in the European part of the Netherlands is no more than 200 miles or so and in most directions even less... But there are nearly 18 million people living on this little piece of land...

from the south of the netherlands to Paris its a 4 hour drive! so i hope many will go to support her.

She has been improving a lot more than McLaughlin, so she will beat her

@@francescostano4445 she would need to improve by a lot more to touch Sydney. Sydney just needs to maintain her current ability, but she will more than likely keep improving.

@@samuelcarlson1012 McLaughlin has run sub 51 only once, there's no guarantee she will run it again. And last year was Bol's first with 14 strides pattern, she ran 51.45(McLaughlin ran 51.46). Bol started with 400mh a lot later, now she is catching up

@@francescostano4445 I get what you are saying, but don’t forget to take into account that Sydney has been training this entire time, she has been improving her flatline speed and stamina. I am not saying I know for sure how things will shake out, but I do know Bol has an uphill battle to win. Also even if she only ran sub 51 one time, bol has not even sniffed that time.

@@samuelcarlson1012 Bol has been faster than McLaughlin in her first year with 15 strides and in her first year with 14 strides too, she simply started later. This year she is expected to have a big improvement. And I don't even think she will need to run the WR to beat McLaughlin, even if McLaughlin is improving I think she will not be close to that time because that was once in a lifetime race compared to her others. Her second best is 51.41

I'm pretty sure Klaver also got an invitation and she probably really wants to run in the Netherlands, but I'm not sure she will choose the FBK Games over the 400m Diamond League in Paris in the same weekend. It might be better for her preparation for the Olympics to run against athletes that also run the 400m flat at the Olympics. Femke will probably run her first sub49, but it's hard to predict if she'll go "all out" (to test herself) or go "conservative" (to spare herself) so close to Paris ...

All this years Bol has been improving more than McLaughlin, it will continue this way

Mrs McLaughlin is still the best in the world on the 400 m Hurdles, as Bol herself readily admits at every occasion. And that 50.68 of McLaughlin which is still 0.77 below Bol's PB is fantastic of course. However, there are a few things to remember. Many people point to the fact that Bol is only a half year younger than McLaughlin. But that is not the most relevant fact here. Much more relevant is the number of years of training they have each done, and in that respect McLaughlin is much further ahead in her carreer because she started hurdling at an earlier age, and also McLaughlin switched to the 14 step stride much earlier. In that sense McLaughlin is further into her "development curve" than Bol, but that also implies that Bol has more "headroom" left for further development than McLaughlin. In that respect there are few interesting facts to point out. Bol switched to the 14 step stride (which is a big technical change, because you jump alternating lead legs) only in the winter of 2022 to 2023, yet only 7 months later, while her technique was still shaky she already ran the 3d fastest time EVER with that 51.45 in London - an improvement by 0.85 -, which by the way also was only 0.04 slower than McLaughlins 2nd best time, 51.41. Furthermore that 51.45 would have won Gold in the Tokyo Olympics... And that while she was using the 14 step only for half a year, and she still had a lot of work to do on perfecting it... So, it indeed is to be expected that mrs McLaughling is also improving and growing, but alas we have no information about that because she never races... So for as far as I can see for now any outcome is possible.

​@@rientsdijkstra4266Well said thats are the facts. 👍

@@rientsdijkstra4266 That’s one of the most thorough and logical comparisons between Femke & Sydney that I have ever read! I agree 💯 percent! I’ll add that while Bol is laser focused on improving her speed, conditioning and form, Sydney has recently had numerous distractions…getting married, writing & promoting her book, and designing and promoting her new line of running attire.

I honestly think Femke could surpass Sydney in the next couple of years.

She has been improving a lot more than McLaughlin, so she will beat her

Your life must be booooring....

What a cheap shot.

Everyone is on steroids. That's the sport.
