Instead of hating on each other, we should just feel lucky to watch the top best female athletes the world have ever seen competing in 400 m hurdle 😊

Man... Sub 51 is no joke. Love that Femke keeps pushing herself to get better when others count her out. I am not going to sit here a debate between her and Syndey at this point. I am just appreciating what I just saw. Sub 51. First Dahlilah breaks 53. Then Syndey breaks 51, and now Femke joins her. Just remarkable.

Femke Bol just won Gold Olympics 2024 4 × 400 relay mixed after recovering from 4th place .. She rules ..

A 0.5 second PB and 1.5 second SB is insane at her level. Props to her and Sydney for continuously raising the bar.

The amount of talent heading into this olympics makes me feel this could be a one to remember

Sydney is still the one to beat, but Femke has been closing the gap the last two years, it'll be a great race in Paris. May the best woman win!

Best thing about Bol that she doesn't care about the hate and the chances she just keeps running and improving constantly

Splendid. It will be great to see a 400h race where Sydney doesn't have time to make a sandwich before the next person finishes. Both are simply magnificent athletes.

She and Sydney have run these crazy times all alone, with no one close. Cant' wait to see what each does when there is a competitor pushing them.

Who is here after her heroic finish in Paris Olympics?

Honestly, Bol and Sydney are absolutely ridiculous athletes and they've been putting down their best times so far without the other one on the track. They both seem to be people who perform in the big moments too so its very possible we could see the 2 fastest times ever in the Olympic finals when they actually push one another.

Should be a superb final if they're both at their best. Let's hope they both fight it out in the final for one to remember 🎉

Both femke and Sydney are fabulous

she is still slower than sydney, but she sure as hell stepped up! Really proud of Bol as a dutch fan and I hope it will be exciting in paris. Hopefully they can push eachother to new heights

It will be THE duel in Paris!

Same here, I'm always rooting for Femke but when I saw Sydney record breaking run, I thought it's over. What a race it's going to be in Paris

Finally Bol entered the Sub 51 second club

I don't have a preference for the winner in Paris, because I admire both athletes and can only appreciate their hard work and dedication. They will settle this themselves regardless of the opinion of the masses. I'm sure these beautiful ladies are only focused on their race and leave the hate to pathetic pseudo fans of the sport.

Yep this race is what I am looking forward to the most of the upcoming olympics. I would be happy with either of them winning.

I am a big fan of Sydney. But have much admiration for Femke as well. Cheering for both of them to perform well, but hope Sydney gets the victory.

Can’t wait to see her and Sydney! That will be a great race! Both ladies have been doing amazing!

I agree that Sydney has the edge, I hope Femke is in top form to give us spectators a fun final if they're both there.

I’ve often wondered what went through Femke Bol’s mind when Sydney McLaughlin-Levrone announced she was switching back to the 400m hurdles this year. I think her race today answers that. She’s a fighter. My money is still on Sydney, but I suspect they’ll both go under 50.5. Props to Femke for not giving up on gold. This and the men’s 400m hurdle races are the ones I’m most excited to see.

The good thing about (this) sport is that it is not a matter of fan's opinnion. The fastest on track wins. Period.

Femke Bol is ⚡️…. Effortless. Just saw her anchor the 4x400 mixed come back & blow by everyone for the gold medal 🥇 in ‘24

They're the Gojo and Sukuna of their event. No one is even close to these ladies it's insane

I also love femke smile. She seems always happy!!

I'm only here to see an interview with her and Sydney Mclaughlin. Bol's voice to the amount of heart she has is wild. She speaks for all the underdogs and she is a champ for that already

No one has been able to challenge either of these ladies this year, nor for the last couple years. Their race at the olympics will be one for the ages. They both are likely to break the world record.

I’ve been saying all year that Femke Bol will go sub 51 this season. Sydney is still the favourite, but Femke has shown the world she’s capable of giving her a good race in Paris. Looking forward to this one.

I hope she wins gold at the Olympics in Paris

Bol has just gotten fully into her mature body probably been positioning for this moment. She's built to be the best. We'll see.

Both are great athletes....wishing the best to both

This is shaping up to be the highlight of Paris. I can hardly wait. And I wish Sydney would also run the 400 flat.

That is going to be a race!!!! It will be awesome to see those two bring their A games! that should be an awesome finish!

Bro what have I been telling you for months at this point. Scariest thing is… I just went back, slowed it down, counted step by step carefully. Bol is still doing 15 steps for half and slipping to 16 the last half. Syd just broke the record doing the same thing more or less. Her Olympic gold she was hitting 15 for more hurdles so one would think she’s going to ramp up to hit 15 throughout or as many as she can. So I don’t think we’ve seen either of their best and I bet my channel that record gets smashed. Guaranteed. The danger is If Bol does 15 for all of them, she’s not going to be beaten. She’s still doing more 16 step hurdles and running sub 51. That’s terrifying. But that’s a tall order to go 15 al the way after all those rounds. However she has a considerable length advantage over syd being so much taller. I think the lack of competing on European soil with such a limited race program might finally catch up with Syd. Whereas Bol has quietly been doing her speed work and already dropped 4 sub 50s quarters. Honestly Imo it’s asking too much of Bol at this age to 15 step but next cycle it’s a done deal. But this time around might be the sweet spot where it depends on the day. What we know for sure is Syd has incredible mental resilience in a dog fight down the stretch as Tokyo proved losing by a good margin after 5 hurdles. This race will come down who can dig deeper as I think neither will separate through the 200 m split. That is assuming she 16 steps. Bc at this pace no hurdler currently can go all the way but if anyone is closest, it’s Bol being more genetically gifted that 3 inches of height will do a lot. Same problem Noah has chasing usain’s records. All the talent and hard work in the world can take you 95% but gd it’s hard to beat Mother Nature with a 6’5 freak of nature knee driving with an ungodly VO2max. And Bol being taller than Noah herself is another advantage but this cycle Syd still has enough in her bag to take gold. This is probably the one race I won’t bet on honestly . If there’s a prop bet for them BOTH breaking the world record in the final, I’m taking that in a heartbeat though

I believe Femke may push Sydney to break 50 seconds!

Femke Bol 👍♥️

Amazing !!!!! I can't beging to imagine all the hard work gone into being able to break 51 seconds.

No matter who wins in Paris, they both will inspire each other to run their best time ever. The question is, who will run a flawless race, cause with hurdles, one little mistake will do you in.

That effortless stride!

Amazing performance, the race between Femke and Sydney is going to be awesome! I hope theyre both healthy and perform at their best.

That is a huge improvement on her previous PB. Congrats to Bol for such progress and determination 👏

Not people saying Sydney should be worried... The same Sydney that ran a world record a month before the Olympic games.

I remember a month ago a bunch of Sydney fanatics commented on Bol's performance saying "Sydney will beat her by seconds" .. They are both locked in and will be an exciting watch!

Good.The Olympic finals will not be the walk in the park for Sydney which many predicted.

What is clear to me is that neither has run their fastest. 😊 Let the Games BEGIN🎉

Track and field in Paris Olympics is going to be great

Some jokers were saying Bol was racing for bronze or 4th place in Paris after the 400mH at the US Trials. lol lol lol

Respect and admiration to both to start with. The gap has been closed to 3 tenths of a second, ok, high altitude track for Femke. But honestly, I start to believe Femke is playing hide & seek. Femke still looks 'fresh' after her runs, knowing she can go faster......she is saving it for Paris. A good chance Femke may surprise herself, Sydney and the world at the Olympics. May the best win....

Judging from her reaction and a few small flaws in her hurdle passages, I think Bol can go faster. And she'll probably have to at the Olympics. I am Dutch so I really hope she wins, but if she doesn't, it's going to be an epic final anyway.

Sydney set the blueprint with her performance at the WC in Oregon n fem has been the only other female to follow suite. This is gonna be such an amazing race in paris. Fingers crossed that both of them can stay healthy n are at their best in 3 wks.

Femke and Sydney have come down from another planet to give is a preview of the 2060 Olympics

Shocked the world????? I think not. Never been any doubt the girl is a competitor!

Love Femke and Sydney ... cant wait for the olympics

Great to see two Women at sub 51! Both Sydney and Femke are legends on the track. However I have always appreciated Femke's humility and sportsmanship. Really looking forward to what they can do against each other! The race of the century!

Femke has managed to bol me over.

Regardless of the high altitude, that was an impressive run with perfect step pattern. 14 steps from hurdle 2 to 7, 15 the rest of the way.

I love watching Femke Bol run. She is so smooth and graceful. The women's 400M hurdles might be the blue ribbon event of the 2024 Olympics. The greatest runners of all time will be competing.

I have been consistent in my assertion that Femke did not stand a chance against a healthy Sydney. That was because Femke had never posted a time that would challenge Sydney. That all changed in this race. Femke is now a serious challenger to Sydney for the first time. Paris is looking like a real showdown. If both are healthy and having a good day, we will see who has the determination to win. They are almost equal now with Sydney holding a slight advantage.

Rest of world running for bronze. The gold and silver times in Paris will be in a league of it’s own.

I just want to see Femke and Sydney race against each other more often. Could be really interesting duels. Both ladies are used to winning their races easy. Who can keep their cool if someone is running close? That's what i want to see.

love Femke talented modest and adorable , proud of the amazing sydney too they both run with this effortless motion

The second-place finisher, Adekoya, finished in 53.41 seconds, which converts to 18.4 metres behind Bol, which in no way can be described as nearly 50 metres behind.

Small correction: Femke Bol's 51.45 from London 2023 also outperformed McLaughlin's Gold at the Tokio Olympics (51.46)

The men's and women's 400mH events must be the most exciting events at Paris. Femke has just thrown down the gauntlet and it may just spur both athletes to greater heights. Whatever happens at the Olympics, I look forward to the rivalry for years to come. I still think Syd for the win, but it will be closer than I thought. Question - altitude?

Don’t forget, the track at La Chaux-de-Fonds is at altitude (about 1000 m asl = 3280 ft asl). This is certainly not very high, but probabaly not insignificant. Nonetheless, an extraordinary performance and it certainly shows that Femke is fit and ready to at least challenge Sydney.

It will certainly be a race! Incredible competition because that makes amazing things happen!!

I was doubtful Bol would break 52. I was even more doubtful she would break 51. But here she is. I doubt she'll beat Sydney, but....

This is great for Sydney. She's at a speed where she can phone in a gold against other competition. Now she has to have a great day, or else Bol at her best is a threat to her. A true competitor wouldn't want it any other way.

If she can forget for one race that she's Dutch and just believes she can do it, Femke will win

WOW! didn't think anyone would get that close to McLaughlin, ESPECIALLY this soon.

This is what I wanted and expected. The womens and mens 400 hurdles are really getting exciting ❤

In the Olympic finals it will be a photo finish where both of them break the world record. Barring any injuries this will happen as both of these women are all time great and will push each other.

Absolute monster perfomance. Keep in that La Chaux-de-Fonds has some elevation, 998 meters iirc. Still, it's looking good for Paris.

Really good form and efficiency. Love watching her run.

Whoever wins the 400 hurdles at the Paris Olympics, it's going to be a blazing fast time and a close finish.

World record by Sydney followed by Femke’s sub 51 JUST leading into the Olympics. These ladies have timed their peaks perfectly!

Whoever wins between these two, it doesn't diminish either one. Femke already has a gold (as of now) and put out a sub 48 in the relay. It's incredible that she could even think of competing in the 400H after that kind of run. Sydney runs much less, but she always runs huge times. It's just fun to watch them both.

Bol hasn't had anybody running next to her either. So when it goes down, hard to say. I personally believe she's peaking a little later than Syd. Longer stride length. She could do it, but I'd say 3-1 odds Sydney. They will run low 50, but not too much below Syd's record. Maybe 50.4. There are limits.

I believe we havnt seen the best of Femke during the last 2 world championship finals, because she does the mixed relay first. I hope she skips it in Paris so we see the best of Sydney vs Femke.

Femke's running style is peerless. If not now, soon she will be the greatest ever

The top 2 fastest athletes of all time, currently at the absolute peak of their powers. What more could the fans want from an Olympics race?

Wow that's amazing, can't wait to see the face off!

I think Bol will win. She's considerably taller, has a longer stride and just seems to win effortlessly. I think she will go even faster with someone to compete against. Whoever wins, I think they'll have to break the world record.

Thank you Femke for possibly motivating Sydney to break another WR👌👌

Please Stay HEALTHY Femke! I want to see the race of the Decade Between You and Sydney “BOTH FINISHING" under 50 seconds!

It's also a good thing that they have such nice personalities. There's no battle of good or evil hear. Just two amazing athletes creating a rivalry. Like Nadal and Federer.

How did a femke bol video turn into bro glazing on syd again 😢 Yeah she is great man we understand but show femke some love man

Remember when Syd's fans just automatically counted her out? See? Y'all were weird for no reason🥴🤡

LFG! Gonna be so many good races in Paris

I love watching her run!

Femke is great but I don't think she has a chance in hell unless Syd makes a mistake. I don't see that happening. But I think it'll be a great race to see these two

1. If the difference is 3 tens between 2 athletes in the 400m is is not a 'maybe she can challenge' is it definitely a challenge 2. You talk about Sidney's progression, however if you look at Femke's progression over the last 4 years, she is bound to pass Sidney's best effort. The progression just speaks in her favor. The question is when, will it be this Olympics or later?

When both of them smile at the line, we know it was a good day..

Yall track and field in this year’s Olympics is gonna be absolutely 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

Sydney 49.9, Femke 50.5 would be my prediction in the Olympic final... 🥇🥈

No mention of the 1000m altitude of this venue? Clearly of benefit to the sprinters, hurdlers and the long jump.

Predicting they both go under the World Record in Paris.

We’re so blessed as track & field fans to be able to witness the greatest generation of 400m hurdlers in history all competing at the same time for both men and women. I grew up in NJ and watched Sidney dominate live at a few meets during high school and she’s always been THAT girl.
