    1. I am wondering when she will get banned for all this chemicals she had.
      Its insane how much gap there is.
      Only morons would think that possible without hard dope

    2. Femke did race the 400m mixed and won gold for the team.
      That was a mistake.
      even without it, its likely not to be enough as sydney was gonna do a record here.
      Its hard when your really good but facing another phenomena

    3. This woman is from another planet, impressive, fantastic, unbeatable and I don't understand why she doesn't run the 400 flats, it would be brutal. My eternal admiration for Sydney Mclaughlin

    4. Good to see the US drugs program alive and well. Best performance since Marion Jones.
      Meanwhile Russia aren't allowed to compete. McLaughlin wasn't even breathing hard
      after hammering Bol by half the length of the track …

    5. As a Dutchie I'm very proud of Femke Bols' achievements this Olympics.
      But Sydney killed it, what a beast of a woman!

      Congrats USA, you can be very proud. 😊🌷

    6. I think a fascinating question would be how the race would have looked if their lanes were reversed. I think SML would have gone out much harder to make sure she put pressure on her at the beginning. As it was she just had to stay close enough to know she could close the stagger on the second curve and pull away. I actually am a Bol fan but I knew any talk of her winning was delusional. SML is one of those athletes you see maybe 2 or 3 times in your life. She beat the Olympic Champion in the 200m a few months ago and there is no question she would smoke the field in the open 400. Honestly Bol and SML would be the top 2 in that race as well (with SML on top). Bol was not upset because she lost. I think she would have been OK if she came in second close to her personal best. I honestly thought Bol was in trouble in the semis. Cockerell was just a little too close and made her work to finish first.

    7. The fact though is that Femke Bol, outside of an accident or injury to Sydney, could never have won. They have met 3 times and the results for her are getting worse:

      2021: Sydney beat Femke by 0.57s at Tokyo Olympics

      2022: Sydney beat Femke by 1.50s at Eugene World Championships

      2024: Sydney beat Femke by 1.80s at Paris Olympics

      Femke Bol's fame is based on delusions and/or ignorance:

      She won, in 2023 Budapest's World Championships, the women's 4x400m relay with her team after the US were disqualified and Sydney was not even there due to injury.

      Again, at these Olympics, she picked up another gold in the 4x400m mixed relay racing against B- level athletes with no individual medal prospects.

      Then there is her personal best time of 50.91 seconds. This time though was run in Stade de La Charrière, La Chaux-de-Fonds (SUI) at an altitude of 998 metres. A 1000 metre altitude is illegal for official. Meaning this personal best is misleading. Her personal best near sea level is 1 second slower that Sydney's world record.

      Now all this to the fact that she is a Western European white person and you have it.

      Femke should have never even have been mentioned in the breath as Sydney.

    8. It's time to repent and seek JESUS .He gave his life, and suffered the wrath of the Father in the cross, to save you from eternal hell. For God loves you, but the sin must be punished. On the third day He raised from the dead, showing to the world that He is God. He'll return soon to judge and destroy the sinners. So turn away from your sin. Ask God to change your life and He'll do amazing things. Jesus loves you.
      THE END IS NEAR.

    9. The coach of Femke Bol had said before the race that he expected a winning time in the low 50's, or possibly even sub 50. He told Femke Bol that if she wanted to have any chance of winning, she needed to start faster than she had ever done before and then hope for the best :). Alternatively, she could also play it safe, run her own race and go for an almost certain 2nd place. Bol might however also been a bit overconfident about her chances to beat McLaughlin because of her recent sub 51 race and ofcourse her incredibly fast 400m leg a few days ago. I do however still think it was a courageous decision to go all in with the risk of giving up a almost certain silver medal.

      Nevertheless, amazing performance from the Queen of the 400m hurdles Sydney McLaughlin as well as number two Anna Cockrell !

    10. Sidney McLaughlin é una fuoriclasse di primissimo livello come lo erano Usain Bolt e Michael Johnson, inarrivabili per chiunque persino per i loro più forti connazionali. Femke Bol ha fatto quello che poteva ma il divario fisiologico é troppo grande anche per lei che comunque, come unica atleta europea e di etnia caucasica, é riuscita a inserirsi nella tripletta delle potenti statunitensi. L'eccezionalità atletica della Bol non ne viene sminuita e fa benissimo ad impegnarsi nelle staffette dove può esprimere al meglio il suo potenziale.
      Se si concentrasse solo sui 400 ostacoli potrebbe ambire al massimo alla medaglia d'argento e il suo prestigio calerebbe sensibilmente.

    11. The race of the century? or was Tokyo the race of the century after all? Temperature was rising after Femke Bol's 47,93 splittime at the mixed relays days before this race, her splittime was only 2 hundreds of a second slower than Sydney Mclaughlins incredible splittime at the worldchampionship in Eugene……but the race became a big big disapointment. Femke Bol can perform so much better than she did. Losing to Sydney Mclaughlin isn't a disgrace but losing silver to Anna Cockrell….only posssible with Anna at her best and the Femke at her worst.
