5. You need a 200m gap to beat Bol lol

6. Stop calling her surely

7. Bol with one of the most insane relay legs and finishes in the 400 I’ve ever seen. Amazing.

8. I told my wife that the Dutch only need to keep the same pace and Bol will at least give them the silver but this is beyond what I expected, insane.

9. Man she is such a great athlete 🧡

27. Having both Femke Bol and Lieke Klaver on the 400 meter is such luxury, both are insane. What a finish.

28. Talk about come from behind. The American team didn’t expect a thing

29. Femke Bol ran a 47.93 second split which is the second time for women EVER ran over the normal 400m… without starting blocks… in the rain! What the heck?!

30. Bol does it again!

    If you want to see another legendary Bol finish watch the Womens 4x400m 2023 World Championship race: https://youtu.be/rzktm30-34k?si=XvKPZ3DcMfF2ktU7 she makes professional athletes look like amateurs.

31. Is her kick always like that? Impressive! I’m in the US and saw our team running out of gas and said, “oh, no…”

32. I watched this live. I was jumping up and down like crazy for the US just to see the Netherlands decimate us. Congrats to team Netherlands, well deserved!! 

33. Femke Bolt 

34. Very exciting!

35. That was insane!

36. Rooting for the USA I was like no no no nooo! But dang that finish was just incredible. Congrats Netherlands!

37. Damn, they were only .02sec from breaking the world record

38. This was soo exciting to watch. And Femke Bol may be the best name I have heard so far in Paris.
