- If there is a showdown that the entire track community has been keenly waiting for, then it must be the #Femkebol versus #Sydneymclaughlin -Levrone clash in the 400-meter hurdles. And from what we’ve already seen thus far you can tell this season is shaping up to be an epic clash between two of the sport’s brightest stars. And even though it looks like it’s gonna be a tough season for Femke Bol with the return of Sydney McLaughlin in the 400-meter hurdles, this 24-year-old Dutch sensation has just proved she is ready for what lies ahead of her.
Interested to see just how prepared Femke Bol is ahead of the anticipated clash with Sydney McLaughlin-Levrone? What is pridiction for #parisolympics2024 for #trackandfield #athletics .
Who's here watching this bullshit video after Sydney broke her own world record again? 😂😂😂😂😂
I’m afraid you are right but having hope isn’t a sin, for Bol it’s even essential and thanks to all the competitors it will be an amazing event.
You should probably make a new video and title "Femke Bol is better than Rushell Clayton and Anna Cockrell". Sydney just broke her own 400h WR again.
And that was after a slow start. She's breaking it again in Paris.
And I honestly think she can go even faster. Looks like she's just coasting across the finish cause she's got such a big lead and not really going full speed all the way through. So a sub 50 is not entirely out of reach from the way she's looked at the trials.
The 400mh is going to be so much better with competition. We are lucky to have both of them running so well.
Sydney's only competition is herself. and that's all she needs
Bol is rising but to my knowledge she's never really come close to beating SML or SML's personal records, and who knows where SML's ceiling is this season with how fast she's started already (and who knows where Bol's ceiling will eventually end up). Both are wonderful and humble athletes and worth cheering on - us fans are so lucky to have them.
You forget Bol is the world champion with the world league it's Sydney coming back from injury who has to prove her self this time she took almost two years off.
She at least needs to show she can regain the world lead she just lost.
That injury she had might prevent her from getting any more records or with all the rest and training she may set more.
She has to. Prove herself not femke who has been consistently showing what she can and cannot do.

NOT AT ALL!
Bol is a fine runner…but she was an NPC along with the other runners when Syd broke the world record.
Syd has gotten faster since then with her short sprint training…
We don't know that Syd has gotten faster in the hurdles, but we do know that Femke has gotten faster - as of last year, Bol's time was 3/4 second faster than her 22 WCs time. It's probably harder to improve from 50.68 than it is from 51.45. I think that Syd is probably still better, but we'll see. The year that Syd switched from a 15-step pattern to a 14-step pattern (2021), she ran 51.46; the year that Bol switched to a 14-step pattern (2023), she ran 51.45. The following year, Syd ran 50.48. How fast will Bol run this year?
@@jkf9167 Syd just posted a PR in the 200m sprint just a month ago.
LOL…
@@guslevy3506 that's a different event, and we have no idea how fast she would have run it before, since she hadn't run it in 6 years. Everyone is working hard to improve. Bol improved on her indoor 400 WR, and hasn't been touched in any 400m event in two years. Syd is likely wo win, but it won't be a blowout. Bol has a chance.
@@jkf9167 Sydney just won the 400m H at the USA Olympic Trials. She ran 50.45 which is another world record and you could see she did not run all out. Bol still has not been under 51 and Sydney has now done that twice. I believe Sydney will break 50 seconds in Paris or get very close to breaking 50 and she will beat Bol by 10 meters.
They most certainly are NOT equal contenders. For one thing Sydney is the current champion, and not a contender. Stop trying to put Bol at Sydney's level when she clearly is not.
Whilst at this point in the season I am leaning towards Sydney, it MAY not be a foregone conclusion as many believe. Sydney's 48.75 is a very impressive time and at this stage is being used to guide people selection and that is very understandable, but how does that time compare to Bol's 49.17 indoors in March. We may get some further insight into Bol's current 400m hurdles shape at the end of the European Champs that is now in progress.
For whatever reason Bol has not run the 400m faster outdoors. Last time I checked the Olympics are outdoors
@@davidzuk4894 she hasn't run the flat 400m faster outdoors because she doesn't train for the outdoor 400m. She runs it fairly infrequently and still managed to double in the 400 and the 400h in the WCs last year.
Are u stupid?
There's a reason why running indoors always comes with an asterisk*. The races that actually matter are outdoors. Do you truly believe Bol will run a second faster outdoors in order to catch Sydney?
@@jkf9167 Bol did not run the 400m in the WCs last year.
I find it interesting how so many here are saying that FB is not in the same league as SML! FB has 3 WRs and is the 2nd fastest woman 400mh ever and is only .38 seconds behind SML season opening time this year! It is slightly slower I agree, but it is in the same league in my opinion. They are both tremendous athletes and good human beings and we, as fans, will be fortunate to see them compete against each other in Paris! Hopefully they will both be healthy and run their best races! I’m just going to sit back, relax and enjoy what is shaping up to be a potentially epic race!

They’re both good but McLaughlin-Levrone is a beast
😂😂😂😂 both by far better than anyone in the history of the world clown. What a dumb comment making light of what very young femke has done.
So is Bol
@@rientsdijkstra4266 agreed, shes just a slower beast
@@shonp3761 We will she in Paris.
@@rientsdijkstra4266 LOL we will indeed"SEE"
If I Google both athletes, Wikipedia reports Sydney’s 400mh PB (WR) as 50.65 and Femke Bol’s 400mh PB as 51.45. This will be a marquee event in Paris. If both are at their peak, and Syd wins by .8 sec, at that running speed it will be at least a ten yard gap. Maybe a little more.
Euhm NO. 51.45 - 50.65 = 0.8 sec. Speed is about 8 m/sec => 8 x 0.8 = 6.4 meter. IFF the difference stays the same. But you can bet that Femke is working hard toward Peak Olympic Form at the Olympic games, while McLaughlin made so much progress in the month of June that it is doubtfull is she can keep that up. We will see what happens in Paris.
lmao....this aged really well
How is it a rivalry?
Because they are competitors.
@@sprintcritic8639 Competitors is exactly what they are. They compete against each other in the same event. Rivalry implies fierce back and forth competition. They have raced twice. The 1st time Sydney was 1st and Femke was 3rd and the last time Sydney won by over a second and a half. That doesn't raise to the level of rivalry.
@@lasvegas4164 well they are both gold medal champion and go back and forth on the world lead Femke has been taking all challengers win or lose for her fans fir years
Sydney was injured and even afterwards rarely ever races for her fans ribbing everyone of the competition but that way she lowers her chance of a bad race or losin.
Both are great and the top two in the sport that’s the same league.
Sidney has the advantage of Olympic gold and the records time from a few years ago.
But has not ran that fast publicly again since.
But may be saving it for the actual main event.
I doubt either will risk injury by going all out in the prelims or practice races.
That’s right, it’s not.
@@Tigerex966 How do you feel now?
McLaughlin just set the world record. Bol doesn't have the slightest chance to come in anything but second.
She had some of the top records before…So.
That does not automatically make her the winner of races she never raced, she has to race them, remember Bolt, Athing Mo, Muhammad who beat Sydney back in the day as the former champ, did you say that about them?
Paris will be a neck to neck race. Who will win is not that important but the spectacle will be.
Bol is getting better (2021-2024) like Sydney got better (2020-2022). Bol - you run like a poker player. No one knows where your stamina is. Go get Sydney.
Sydney NEEDS to run more often!
We'll see, won't we? If you dissect their splits, Bol does have one area where she's usually faster than Syd - the first 7 hurdles. Syd has a faster start and runs faster from hurdle 8 to the end. If Bol can run the final 3 hurdles as smoothly as Syd, she may have a chance to hold her off at the end. All this isn't surprising when you think about the fact that Bol is 6" taller than Syd; Bol has an advantage in the 14-step pattern, but a disadvantage in the 15-step. Syd is a faster sprinter.
They are both great athletes. Sydney,s last 400 hurdle time 52.71. Femke last 400 hurdle 52.49. Femke after this race said she wasn,t giving her all. She waits for the Olympics. In the meantime she,s powering up. She also didn,t used her well known last 80 meter powerful after burners, YET. She is safing them for the Olympics too
Both played possum
Say the truth Sydney levrone first hurdle in 2 years
@@KeruboOnkoba Yes, and first hurdle for Bol in 9 months (last hurdles for Bol on 17 sept 2023)
Sydney just won the 400m H at the USA Olympic Trials. She ran 50.45 which is another world record and you could see she did not run all out. Bol still has not been under 51 and Sydney has now done that twice. I believe Sydney will break 50 seconds in Paris or get very close to breaking 50 and she will beat Bol by 10 meters.
@@davidzuk4894 I read from somebody else 50.67. But anyway. This is to fast, it is ridiculous. 1.5 year of absence, 3 races, then such a time. Sorry. But this is not Normal.
Sydney McLaughlin will win unless she gets an injury before Paris or if she gets injured at the Olympics or hits a hurdle and falls. She is just faster than Femke Bol at every distance starting with the 110 hurdles, the 200 meters, the 400 meters and the 400 meter hurdles. It's that simple.
Again an American trying to sell the result before the race. You clearly don't understand the dynamics of a 400 meter. And Femke Bol is faster on the 400 meter. She has 3 World Records, McLaughlin 0. And about those faster 100 m and 200M. Mrs Mclaughlin has a little advantage from the start, because with her shorter legs she accelerates faster out of the blocks. This gives a few meters lead, but Femke Bol with her much longer legs runs more efficiently and will crush her on the last 150 meters. Bol will WIN.
Both Sydney and Femke are great runners. If healthy, Sydney will win in Paris and set a new world record. She is a prodigy and a once in a lifetime athlete. She hasn't been pushed all year and if anyone is near her she will increase her pace more. Don't under estimate Anna Cockrell as she has improved significantly. If she is on, she could beat Femke for the silver. Wait and see. It will be a great race to watch. Next year, Syd will switch to the open 400, so that will be fun to watch her take down the US 400 record and aim for the world record.
And Sydney just broke the 400MH world record again last night. Her time is almost 2 seconds faster than Bol's time right now. Sydney will more than likely break her WR again in Paris.
Femke bol is no threat to the geat Sydney McLaughlin.
Too bad that Femke just ran the world lead. Syd's time lived for one week.
Someone forgot to watch her finals yesterday.
Sydney have no change.
Lol. Femke gonna get wrecked
😂 y’all don’t know let’s put the Rocky theme music and my brain femke. She may have rock. Moment “she is a human. She is a human. Rocky Balbo
We shall see but hopefully we see a fair and a thriller of a battle 😄
Sydney's technique is better which is why she is faster (.81) . However, in the 400 the race is much closer (Sydney's best time is only .42 greater than Bol's this year).
I love these 2 athletes😊
Sydney is on a class on her own ( New World record at 50.65 sec). Bol will be lucky if she is 2nd. Clayton (Jamaican) already has 52.51 sec and now Anna C with 52.63 sec are on her class
Bol is peaking at the apex of her career, but still not the caliber of Sydney. Sydney’s ran very little, but her first few results are telling of how she’ll perform, as she hits her stride. It will be a good race, but Sydney should prevail. Bol’s only chance lies in the fact that it appears Sydney may attempt the double…400 hurdles and 400 open in the Olympics. Unprecedented! We’ll see if this wears her down too much. Will be one of the premier matchups in the entire Olympics.
Bol is nowhere close to the "apex" of her carreer. Last year she was a second faster than she is now, and according to her coach this year her fysical values are better than last year, and her technique has also improved. She is on her way to attaining her peak form AT THE OLYMPICS, like McLaughlin will do of course. We will see what happens. And where the peak of her carreer is we will only know in about 8 or 10 years when her carreer is definitively over.
@@rientsdijkstra4266 Hmm….lot of assumptions that aren’t yet based on fact. Fortunately, it seems they’ll compete head to head. My expectation is Sydney will have 3 gold medals and 2-3 new world records. It’s possible she’ll get depleted and Bol will take advantage. It’s a lot of rounds of 400’s. I doubt Bol will be peaking in 8-10. Other peaks…FLO-JO 29, Thompson-Hersh 28, Allyson Felix 27, Fraser-Pryce 34. I’d assume 4-5 for her peak. Unfortunately Sydney’s 24 as well. Time will tell. Should make for a good long rivalry.
@@michaelmiller6878 I get the impression that there is a bit of a mis-understanding here. After carefully reading your post, you seem to be talking about peaks in terms of age of the athlete (Flo Jo 29..., etc.). And in that context I agree with you that Bol and McLaughlin's "carreer peak" will probably come around 28 to 32 years of age, and probably it will be earlier for McLaughlin, because she started much earlier in life (at 14) on the hurdles, compared to Bol who started on the hurdles only at 19 years of age .
However we should distinguish the carreer peak from a "local" peak in performance capability. As you many know many athletes and their coaches use training schedules (I know because I did this in the past, as I have been a coach in another sport) where they bring the performance capability to the best possible level at that moment for a specific important race or event. The normal proces for this is that the athlete is put on a heavy training regime, which makes him or her stronger, but also tired, for a number of months. When the athlete has to race during this period of heavy training he or she will probably "underperform", simply because of the tiredness and lack of energy due to the heavy training. This is f.i. what we saw with Bol during the relay championships in the Bahamas. However the schedule will be set up in such a way that after this period of heavy training and 1 or 2 months before the important race the training work is brough down, so that the muscles get more opportunity to heal and fill up with energy, to bring out the - at that moment in time - maximal performance capability. This is a very different thing from a carreer-peak. Because every year a professional athlete will have on or two of these peaks in performance level that are calculated to coincide with the morst important races. However, with time and untill the carreer peak has arrived, these peak will keep getting just a little higher every year, untill at an age of around 30 or so the next year-peak turns out to be lower than last year's year-peak. That is moment that the carreer-peak has been reached. But your are right that both for McLaughlin and Bol the carreer peak is still far in the future, since they are both 24 years of age. However I was referring the ladies working towards a local "year peak" for this year at the Olympics... Which is a different story...
@@rientsdijkstra4266 Confusing as you specifically said “apex of her career”. You’re now implying you meant of her season? Regardless, I’m not sure that puts your assertion in any better light. Starting earlier, so she’ll naturally finish earlier, is an antiquated theory around this “fresher legs” idea. I think I heard Trump promote this theory about not wanting to use up all his vitality at once lol
There may be some repetitive use sports like golf or pitching a baseball, where a back or shoulder gets worn out sooner, but that’s never been shown in most sports to be accurate. Women’s distance runners peak later in life and have many, many more miles on their legs. The idea that Femke has better training in allowing her to peak at a superior time to Sydney, is also without merit. Bobby Kersey is the premier coach in track, for women, when it comes to gold medals and world records. Suggesting someone is better is unfounded.
Their long term competitiveness will more likely come down to who wants more babies and is motivated to stay in track. I might give it to Femke in that regard, as Sydney seems ultra Christian, and may want her own large family.
@@michaelmiller6878 First of all, please don't put words in my mouth that I did not use? I have never said that Femke uses better training. But then: it is indeed a complication that we have two different kinds of curves or processes that complicate the analysis of Bol vs McLaughlin: on the one hand we have the normal influence of age, about which the normal wisdom says that most people reach the peak of their power around 30 years of age (for some a bit earlier for some a bit later).
On the other hand we have the influence of specific training. I find it quite disappointing that you try to ridiculize things here by involving Trump. To correct for this mistake I will simply use some straightforward logic:
Question one: why do we - as rational human beings - use specific training in a sport that is both technical and power and condition intensive, such as running the hurdles?
Awnser: Because the execution of the training routines brings the athlete benefits in terms of performing ability. In other words, by implementing training routines we let the athlete perform better.
Question: how does the training make the Athlete perform better?
Awnser: training has a twofold effect. Conditional and executional. The conditional effect is that the athlete simply get stronger, builds up more speed endurance, better oxygen transportation and metabolism, etc. etc. The executional effect is that the athlete "learns" to execute the specific tasks that are necessary for the sport better. For the hurdles these would be many details such as step length, the right point for the last step over the hurdles the right way of swaying the lead leg over the hurdles the right way of pulling the back leg over, the right arm movement, the right way of placing the foot behind the hurdle, transferring the weight to this foot, etc. etc. etc., and I am sure that ther are many even finer details that the really top level athlete will have to learn, and not only that: make part of muscle memory.. That is also where the conditional part and the executional part meet: part of the conditioning is also the conditioning of the RIGHT muscles and building the RIGHT reflexes for the optimal execution of the task.
Question: But why do we need a lot of training-time to get these things into our system?
Awnser: Well, first of all, if we could do it all at once any rational athlete would do one training (using "reduction ad absurdum" here) and be done for his or her whole carreer. So the fact that all athletes are training for all of their carreer already shows that the "train once and be done forever" idea is not going to work
Question: But that still doesn't explain WHY we need to keep training.
Awnser: the reason is that both the condition and execution aspect of training are based on REPETITION. And the result of this is that the influence of the training both in conditional and in executional terms builds with time. In other words the more the athlete trains the better he or she gets, both in power and in executional ability. This also explains why rational people keep training for the whole of their carreer.
But the upside of this is that the amount of time spent training is quite strongly connected to the power and ability of the athlete (and talent is also a factor, which you could see as a sort of "multiplier" for the training: the more talent somebody has the more effect each hour of training will have...)
But the amount of training an athlete can do per unit of time (day, week, month, year) is limited, because the human body also needs to recuperate. And that means that above some level more training hours can only be made in more time. In other words years of experience (and thus total amount of training and competing) translate to more conditional and executional power...
A last point to add is that the effect of training is not linear. In the beginning the effect of training is very strong and over time it becomes less, and more and more the training becomes a tool to maintain what is already there (this especially goes for the peak of the carreer and after) My experience is that in a technical/power sport (such as the hurdles) it takes at least (!) 5 to 7 years to bring an athlete close to his or her carreer peak in power and performance.
And that brings me to my point about Femke and Sydney: the thing is that because Femke started much later than Sydney on the hurdles, certainly in 2021 and 2022 Femke had had much fewer training hours on the hurdles, which explains that in those two races that they where ever on the track together in 2021 and 2022 Femke came quite far behind Sydney.
But now we are in 2024, and the relative gap between the two has become much smaller, and Femke has come close to that minimum of 5 years to obtain peak ability although Sydney still has an advantage in terms of training hours under her belt (but on the other hand Sydney was injured in 2023, which is an advantage for Femke...)
So now you see my point the training hours and the years of experience. And maybe you also understand why your quips about Trump are completely misplaced.

There may be a bit of an opening for Bol, considering Sydney hasn't competed in the 400mh very much this year. To say Bol isn't in her league is disingenuous. Not only has she been her closest competitor, she has consistently improved in every race she runs. Syd is still the favorite, but the scarcity of 400mh races by her could be the opening Bol needs.

Bol will beat her on full power.
Bol is better with her 49.17 indoor WR. Bol has to run 4 bent indoor. More time required to run two more bent. Bol outdoor is close to 48.6.
You’re just making up numbers. Again, when Bol ran 49.2 indoors last year, she only ran 49.8 outdoors.

Bol improved on Jarmila Kratochvilova's Indoor World Record with a whopping 0.42 seconds. But Jarmila Kratochvilova is also the previous WR holder on the 400m outdoor with a time of 47.99.... And 47.99 - 0.42 = ....

@@CHEETAH69 You are talking confused BS. Mrs McLaughlins PB on the 400 flat is 48.74. The 800m is completely irrelevant. And the logic is very simple: people don't chance when they step inside or outside of a hall. So if ms Bol can best mrs Kratochvilova inside by 0.42 indoors then she should also be able to do that outside. And McLaughlin hasn't broken 50 in an open 400 yet? That is nonsense.

There are levels to being a prodigy. Both are prodigies, but Sydney is altogether a different beast. That said, anything can happen on a race track and Bol have upped her game in recent years.
No she’s not.
@@Tigerex966 not what?
Not a different beast.
One of many Muhammed Sydney Femke and those before them all great competitors.
@@Tigerex966 It's a figurative speech to imply that Sydney McLaughlin is the more naturally talented runner in comparison to Bol, who can also be called a prodigy considering her achievements. There is no way my original comment was an insult towards other great competitors. Even Femke's coach himself has said something similar in the past in favor of McLaughlin when comparing her to Bol, his own athlete.
This matchup reminds me of Usain Bolt vs Tyson gay. Tyson gay was good and would have broken world records had Usain Bolt not been in the way. Sydney is the same talent as Usain Bolt, bol really is only fighting for second place.
Ahem...you were saying?
Im bookmarking all these channels that keep throwing shade at Sydney. I dont care if its justin the title as clickbait only. After Paris im going on a comment rampage for all the BS yall keep saying.
Bro, these "chanels" do that just to create clicks. You are being manipulated. Nobody will care about your little rampage. They will just be laughing all the way to the bank...
Stop making up crap . Bol has no competition in Europe and I can guarantee you that Sydney will wipe the floor with her in Paris .
OF COURSE SHE.IS THE VERSTAPPEN FROM ATHLETICS !!!!!!
Not a show down...femke will NEVER beat the goat fools😂
I'd rather watch Bol Bol run the hurdles.
Sydney just dropped 48.75 in the flat 400. She’s going through o snag her own WR
Femke and Sydney race against the clock and nobody else! Everyone else race's for 3rd....... say that before you go to sleep and when you wake up
This is the type of title that degrades athletes.Did you know the latest scores of Sydney? Please do your homework
Anyone…. I repeat anyone is not a threat to Sydney in any event she decides to run… she is such a phenomena
Bol for d winn in Olympic
1 second between them?
The only way femke can beat sydney is if she tripps her, but she's not fast enough out of the blocks to do it😂
You clearly don't understand the dynamics of the 400 (with or without hurdles). As the great Michael Johnson said: the best tactic is not to be to fast out of the blocks, because you will pay for that on the lasts stretch when the muscles fill up with lactic acid. And running in form and on speed with high lactic acid happens to be Bol's speciality.
Its like Serena and Sharapova what rivalry 😂😂😂😂
Both are great, either can win, both are champions.
Not fair to Sydney’s clearly superior accomplishments to equate them yet.
@@New-tu3mn actually the reverse is true..
World champion lead holding down the sport while Sydneyndecided to go on a two year hiatus, like you don’t mean anything, because you don’t have the world record or you only won because Sydney nit running, which is a lie because if Sydney had ran at that time injured she would have still won.
Muhammad Sydney prior record holders and Olympic and world 400mh champs never got that much hype or royal treatment Sydney gets even when injured and not racing.
Who called the firmer record holders superior to Sydney before she had any Olympic world champion or record and got beat.
Please show respect fir all the women and their accomplishment equally.
@@Tigerex966 Femke gets plenty of respect, as evidenced by this very thread. The problem is that she gets too much respect relative to Sydney, and not that Sydney gets too much respect. Sydney has well earned every bit of the respect she gets, her being the world record holder by nearly a full second, and just having exceeded her own record at the trials. The best deserve to be recognized as such, so stop.
@@New-tu3mn not much in the USA, just read the comments for yourself, I would call it plenty of dismissal disrespect with the majority of comments saying it's already over she's not in the same league might as well stay home.
To be fair aside from Muhammed all of Sydney's competition got totally dismissed as irrelevant even when she was injured and out for two years.
So you need to just stop pretending it's not so .
All the runners need respect, when Muhammed and femke had the world lead very little was said except, .wha6t a joke or she only won this it that because Sydney was not there and so on.
Then when Sydney gets it by. 94 seconds it's like the best thing ever.
World records deserve congratulations and leads for all racers, not just one.
And they don't determine the outcome of future races, but they do indicate the likely winner and favorite, but it's not over until after the actual race, and then that's only one race over years of facing.
No one stays on top forever new champions and records will always come .
That's why we need to be equally respectful to all racers winners and losers, even Sydney had to lose before she won it had a record over a period of many years against the best competition at that time.
Take care.

[I would call it plenty of dismissal disrespect with the majority of comments saying it's already over she's not in the same league might as well stay home.]
I’ve seen no disrespect of Femke. Only the fair pointing out that Sydney is currently in a class by herself, which Femke has not yet reached. Statements to that effect are mostly because of the constant attempts to inaccurately elevate Femke’s accomplishments to equal those of Sydney. Femke’s are high, but they are decidedly not equal.
[To be fair aside from Muhammed all of Sydney's competition got totally dismissed as irrelevant even when she was injured and out for two years.]
Dismissed as irrelevant? I didn’t see that, although they may have been the rare comment to that effect. I can’t say for certain. Here, however, you keep framing what is the fair observation that Sydney is the best, as some kind of disrespect. It’s just an accurate observation, which you may not like, but it is accurate nonetheless the less, isn’t it?
[All the runners need respect, when Muhammed and femke had the world lead very little was said except, .wha6t a joke or she only won this it that because Sydney was not there and so on. Then when Sydney gets it by. 94 seconds it's like the best thing ever.]
They were referred to as jokes? Again, you keep overstating matters, apparently, so that you can attack legitimate support for Sydney as the current best. For example, you try to minimize the significance of Sydney’s world record margin. Which at, essentially, a full second is a large amount for a 400M race’s record.
[World records deserve congratulations and leads for all racers, not just one.]
I’m not sure what you refer to here. As far as the general public’s attention, events have to be sold to them. Personalities and individual stories sell the public. Especially, for Track &Field, a sport with which most of the public doesn’t follow. Femke receives plenty of deserved accolades, but there is a level difference between even her and the best in the world, Sydney. Who gets a special amount of attention by american media, because she’s an American. It’s that simple.
[And they don't determine the outcome of future races, but they do indicate the likely winner and favorite, but it's not over until after the actual race, and then that's only one race over years of facing.]
Of course, past performance does not determine future races, but they do determine the order of excellence in the here and now.
[…we need to be equally respectful to all racers winners and losers, even Sydney had to lose before she won it had a record over a period of many years against the best competition at that time.] Since when does respect doesn’t require viewing all athletic performers as equal?]
For the final time, no one is disrespects Femke. Our objection is to inaccurately forcing her at an even level with the one athlete who is, by a clear margin, the very best at their event. I don’t understand why you are struggling with that.
Femke Bol is a great runner after Sidney they are 1-2. Sideney will get gold and Femke silver
Nope, the first to the line in Paris will get gold, and the other will get silver.
50.65!!!!!! nuf said.
SYDNEY WILL LET THEM RAT THE DUST ! SHE IS FAR BETTER !
WOW bro, I admire your knowledge and your confidence...
McLaughlin just ran a 48.75 in 400m. Bol is not a threat for anything but silver.
Femke ran a WR on shorttrack 49.17 so thats bit better!
@@QuamfyMarcthat is not recognize
@@QuamfyMarc- It is not better. The conditions in New York were bad. It was cool and windy. The last 100 meters were directly into a stiff headwind.
@@QuamfyMarc it was indoors on a banked track. Two laps. Barely counts for anything. McLaughlin is way faster in every way.
@@jondavwal13 If she runs a sub51s again on 400mh at trials than she might be faster. "Way faster" is totally bullshit at the moment. Femke is faster on 400mh at moment and World atletics gives better result score on Femke's 49.17 indoor than Sydney's 48.75 outdoor.
Femke is great... but this is an embaressing take
I bet this person doing this video has never stepped on a track 😂
CLICKBAIT TITLE BRO ... lol 😆
Who give you that idea
Sydney runs Open 400 meter 48.75 World Lead on a chilly windy day in NY yesterday on her first and most likely last open 400 of the season. I doubt she will run in trials unfortunately.
Not this season. She will focus on the open 400 next quad
i THINK YOUR HEADLINE BIT OFF A BIT MUCH!!!!! Sydney just had the temerity to break the world record as you were publishing.
World record does not mean the race is over they still have to race multiple times in multiple events, Sydney was in Femke position before, when Mohamed was the record holder and Olympic champ and people were basically saying it’s over before the race.
This is not even a contest, SML!!
True Sydney has to step it up against the current world champion and current world lead holder.
Maybe the injuries were worse than we thought.
Femke will be closer but still no real match to Sydney.
Bol is Great but Sydney is SUPERWOMAN!
This video is a total lie, because the best season opener is 51.6 of Sydney McLaughlin in 2022.
The social media is full of lie!
Sydney ran 48.75 yesterday in New York. Cool conditions and a strong headwind.
Sydney's married name is pronounced with an emphasis on the E at the end Levrone, her husband Andre Jr is the nephew of famous bodybuilder Kevin Levrone.
Sydney is faster than Bol in every race from the 400 down. I REALLY love seeing them both run and always cheer for Bol. We don’t have to like one over the other, the facts remain that Sydneys training by her coach is very diverse and not just running in a lot of races. We see more of Bol because her country/coach has her racing every weekend and sometimes 2-3 events per meet which is putting a lot of race mileage on her legs. If she was being trained the same way Sydney was they probably would be closer, as it it’s, Sydney will win going away. I really appreciate and like both runners and have watched every televised meet yearly. We are used to seeing Femke running against people she is head and shoulders more talented than while Sydney is training for the Olympics not the diamond league, world relay championships etc.
respect for your comment full of truth. 😉
Who has the current world lead again?
@@Tigerex966it took femke 3 tries to get the WL and she failed to beat sydney with her season opening.. that’s so embarrassing 🤣 especially when sydney has only came back after being gone for a year
@@tiffanyly8505 it took Sydney almost 2 years to get the world lead, and it lasted for how long.?
Your point🤔🤫🫣
You have been busted by your own. Logic 🥰
@@Tigerex966 go eat your words 🤣 sydney just broke the world record 😘
OF COURSE SHE BETTER,SHE DUTCH
NOPE ! NO CHANCE ! SYDNEY WILL LET THEM EAT THE DUST, PERIOD !
You really need to convince yourself, don't you?
Bol is the best in Europe not in the world,Sydney is the best in the world not even close.
At this moment Bol is nr.2 in the world. And the difference between Bol and McLaughlin is 51.45 - 50.65 = 0.8 seconds = 6.5 meters.
Bol is not as strong as McClaughlin-Levrone...lol I DON'T THINK SO!!! 😂🎉 #nochallengeatall😊
Facts? Bol is VERY strong. She powercleans 97.5 kg which is 1.5 her bodyweight. Want proof? There is a good video by two strength coaches. Search YT for "SIKA Strength Femke Bol"
And the development in mrs McLaughlin who has not been running for 1.5 year (why?) Suspicious!
Bol is rly good, but sge can't touch Sydney....
She doesn't need to touch her, just to cross the line earlier, which she will.
@@rientsdijkstra4266 No..she won't...
@@taylorsara1237 Yes she will.
@@rientsdijkstra4266
Has she EVER beaten Sydney?? - Exactly. And she won't now either...
@@taylorsara1237 You show your lack of Knowledge: They have only been on the same track 2x IN HISTORY. Once in 2021 and once in 2022. But Femke only started on the hurdles in 2019 (versus McLaughlin who started in 2014), so in those years Bol was still a novice. So again we have here an American trying to sell the result before the race.
Wellll this ages like milk
😂😂😂😂 You should take this video down. NO ONE CAN BEAT SYDNEY
You guys watch bol
I give it a 50 / 50 between them
LMAO
lol we shall see 😂
more like giving Bola a chance of 5/95----it is going to be a lopsided ass whipping by Sydney on Bol🤣🤣
I don’t know about 50/50, but I do give Bol an outside shot to win since anyone could have a bad day.
Anything can happen. And I hate when people completely count someone out. But it’s not 50/50. Sydney is just a different beast
The Queen is dead, Long live the Queen
Better then Sydney, huh? Don't be STUPID.
Lol, no she is not.
And Sydney is more sensational than her does she holds a world record?
Nope
This is all hype. Bol isn’t in the same league.
True Femke Bol is in better league. 😂
@@QuamfyMarca better league but chasing Sydney’s records.
@@QuamfyMarcshe is in silver league I will tell you guaranteed gold medal winners Sydney levrone, faith kipyegon, major Beatrice chebet, Noah lyles, Richardson
That’s why she has the worlds lead and is the world champion undefeated for almost two years.
@@kc5466past records are not world championships and world current lead unless she runs them again it’s Sydney chasing her own records as well.
