You mean Femke "FALLS" in Budapest🤣😛😅

@@kobbieafriyie2172how did Alexis Holmes do with the baton transfer in Budapest in the 4 x 400m women’s ?

@@garethnorth6530 Gareth, what has Alexis Holmes's baton transfer issue in the 4x400m got to do with this discussion?!🤣🤪---I presume you are still hurt from the fact that in front of the entire world, your precious darling, Femke Bol fell flat on her face and embarrassed herself---But then again, we all know that Bol cannot perform well under pressure--she easily panics and at times, fall over flat on her face.😜

@@kobbieafriyie2172 your unqualified opinion of Femke Bol does not match that of USA 4 x Olympic Champion Sanya Richards-Ross who also holds the 400m USA National record who was talking about her in 2023 on NBC Sports. As an athletics expert you too will have heard the comments. You asked what has ALexis HOlmes got to do with this - it is Alexis Holmes in ht mixed at Budapest referred to in the comment you replied to - and as for Alexis Holmes she panicked in the 400m women’s relay at Budapest and embarrassed herself with the baton error - that’s what happens when she is under pressure and also why she came second in the 400m relay this year in Glasgow coming second behind…. Femke Bol. Yes Alexis Holmes has only done it once ( dropped baton ) however for Femke Bol remind me of the other times ( times plural - your word ) when she has fallen in a race - or was it just once and you were exaggerating ? Only one athlete is allowed to have a poor race in your world.

@@garethnorth6530 You seem emotionally hurt and desperate to defend your darling Bol---but the fact is Femke is a second-rated athlete compared to Sydney------and in a few months, in Paris, Sydney will beat and embarrass Femke Bol so badly, you and her will not recover from the humiliation-----keep crying, Gareth.😝😆😆

That's not a cheat. That not knowing the rules at a high level. High school it ok. This is a coach's fault for not teaching the rules.

You are ignorant

The officials knew the rules, the placings are set according to where the incoming runners were at the 200m mark. An athlete has no right to change it. Maybe a bit pedantic but better than allow for a free for all. Fortunately for the US they are strong enough to qualify by either of the other ways, and they qualified by winning the Day 2 heats, albeit unseeded. In fact it's worse for the other teams now because the US can create, what is called in rugby when two or three top teams are in the same group, a "pool of death" in their heat in the Olympics

Adeleke ran three splits under 50s, two in the Mixed 4x400m and one in the Women's 4x400m. Great consistency

Ellis did well, but Bol was more than a second faster than Ellis, while passing several people around the outside.

They still qualified for the Olympics on Day 2 but just won't be in a seeded spot with preferential positioning. With the quality of their team this wasn't a serious setback. This time. But if this had happened at, say, the Olympics it would have cost them a medal chance

They already made it, because they won their heat.

I remember this one and I was pissed she didn’t move but they were dq. They put her in that spot and she didn’t move they should have caught that ruling

But she also lost with almost 2 seconds behind her! 😂

@@LifeissuesDLY Nooo, Learn to COUNT please? Bol STARTED 2 seconds behind Ellis, and she ended up only 0.65 second behind Ellis. So Bol GAINED about 1 to 1.5 seconds on Ellis, WHILE GOING AROUND THE OUTSIDE.

@@rientsdijkstra4266 and how do you know she started 2 seconds ? 😂😂😂

And not to mention that an athlete never runs her best race being in the lead while BOL probably ran her best at that day considering she was chasing

@@LifeissuesDLY Simple: I measured it, and it was something like 1.7 seconds or so (hard to measure precisely, because it is hard to see when the pass the line, especially in a relay).
