"the dutch have got Femke Bol, you have to still give them a chance of taking the title" those were wise words. Even with such a gap you can never underestimate Femke. What a run that was..I've seen it live and still come back to this vid regularly and still can't fully grasp what she just did there. Didn't know Femke before that race, since I'm not a fan of the sport per se, only watching main events like olympics etc. Since that day I am a huge fan of her. Huge talent with an awesome personality
I think that is the greatest thing I ever saw on a track. After falling in the mixed relay final. To run down the Jamaican like that to steal the gold. I had to watch it 10 times to believe what I was seeing..
L'ultima giamaicana stava andando tutt'altro che piano, ma la Bol ha fatto gli ultimi 100 metri come se stesse facendo la finale maschile su quella distanza!!!
The dutch women got me crying and all that. What a performance. Sheer will power and devotion in each leg they gave their utmost. The come back was unbelievable.
Agreed! I'm a Dutch and was watching it live with a friend of mine. I thought silver was the maximum that was possible. But when this happend I was yelling and nearly crying... unbelieveble...
Considering how the World Championships began for Bol (stumbling 10m from the end & losing the gold in the mixed relay), it's one of the all-time moments for me.
@@rientsdijkstra4266nope! Klavers Split time was 48.71 and Bols was 48.79!! Also Natalia Kaczmarek from Poland run close to them with 48.84 split time. They were the 3 fastest
never saw that... 8-10 meters behind with 60-70 meters to go and win that race in a "short" 400m run. began the tournament with falling and ends with rising. historic and epic.
Wow what a phenomenal final leg! Sensational run and epic finish from Bol. I thought the Jamaican had it in the bag. The distance was quite far but Bol really was a machine. What she did there was something truly special. I got goosebumps all over and I could not believe my eyes but seeing is BOLieving. This will remain etched in my mind for a long time. Congratulations to the Dutch team. Fantastic job!
All 4 deserve credit in this relay. Lieke Klaver received the baton in good conditions and gave it in 3rd place to Femke. So, All did great. From France ❤
How lucky I am that I was there OMG! The crowd was amazing, and clearly the loudest during this race, especially the final 15 seconds… I could hardly hear the voice of my friend next to me. I remember I saw that Femke was starting to shift to another gear in the final 100m and was hoping that as a supertalented hurdler she is able to maintain her speed better than her opponents… than I started shouting about 80-90 meters before the finish line: COME ON FEMKE, YOU CAN DO THIS!!!! She did! She did! I was a 400 m hurdler myself so I have experience from inside what it means to run 400 m flat tooo…. This was soooo special, she and Klaver was just outstanding…. Never ever forget this race!
Something out of this world, great job of Dutch athletes and a remarkable, extraordinary sprint of Femke Bol, performance that enters in world sport history !!!
Stacey-Ann Williams didn't run her PB in this race. It is a myth! Not to mention that you can't improve a 400m PB in the 4x400m relay. Williams had a SB of 50.12 prior to Budapest. So without a doubt she ran slower in this final.
The fact that she started the week in an undignified splat face down on the ground and losing out on the medals, and then ended with this majestic and truly incredible sprint finish to end with gold, made this an all time great moment in athletics history.
Femke Bol received a congratulatory message from Usain Bolt after the race. She said afterwards that Bolt is her favourite athlete of all time. What a great finish.
I probably will never forget this fenomenal race, I was not really a real fan of athletics, but surely I do now. Surprising though, I 'm starting to like all the events of athletics, thanks to Bol
Hear the crowd, the whole world sees this and this race will bring people to the world of athletics for sure, Femke is a great ambassador, so strong, such mentality, so humble and so lovable
in Paris she did it twice, receiving the baton from 4th place both times, in the 4x400 medley she brought gold and in the women's 4x400 silver. Amazing! Extraordinary! IncrediBol. UnstoppaBol. 😍❤️❤️👏👍
I love Natalie Kaczmarek. Unfortunately her team was not fast enough this time so we could not see her great sprint. I miss the days with Swiety and Baumgart but I am sure the team will come back. (am german btw).

Stunning performance from Bol, she is my favourite athlete (and I am German), and she keeps getting better and better. She is the Usain Bolt of the 400m.
Femke is, relatively speaking, a slow starter, but she can maintain her overall high speed towards the finish line where other athletes obviously slow down in the last part of the race. To win this 4x400m relay for the Dutch team, Femke though needed to increase her speed at the last straight. Thanks to her great teamspirit and unbreakable determination she deservedly succeeded. 🙌💪🥰
Femke Bol ist einfach fantastisch! Wie sie auf den letzten Metern die anderen Läuferinnen überholt, die bis dahin mit Abstand die Schnellsten im Feld waren, ist unglaublich! Femke wirkt dabei völlig locker, sie lächelt sogar. Die Videos von diesem Lauf habe ich bestimmt schon 50 oder 100 mal angeschaut und bekomme nicht genug davon, werde sie sicher noch sehr oft anschauen. Femke, du bist ein echtes "Wunderkind"!
@@uweneuhaus315 As a German you are familiar with it . All those doping records by the DDR -Athletes . Funny that afterwards they never played a important role in atlethics.😃
Great run by all 4 of the Dutch women! They all stayed disciplined and smart by not going full speed in the first half of the lap, but keeping up good speed until the end of the lap. Lieke Klaver was a powerwoman, making up lost ground, running from 4th position on the outside all up to the front runners at the handover. Respect!
"Bol" means quite a lot in Turkish. I guess this means that this gorgeous girl Grandmaster has a lot of qualities. Speed, cuteness, sincerity, self-confidence and goodwill... Be there, long live Femke Bol... 👏 👏
She will make Sydney McLaughlin-Levrone look like a carthorse in the 400m hurdles and break 50s for the first time. She is going to be the greatest female athlete of all time.
Everybody seems to think that the Jamaican athlete seized up, but her distance to the British athlete tells a different story! Bol SURGES in the final 20 meter like I have never seen a 400 meter runner surge. Time it!! It is unprecedented.
Watch again, the Brit was very close to catching the Jamaican on the line but was a long way off entering the final straight. But Bol did a tremendous surge.
The more often I see this, the better it gets. Putting Klaver in as second runner was a golden decision! But Femke? Ah... Femke! Sports woman of the year! That steal... so beautiful!
All of the dutch ladies did an amazing job. Femke received the baton in excellent conditions from Lieke. These ladies will inspire a lot of little girls ❤
She didn’t come from nowhere, they all knew she was the fastest, they all knew she started to fast in the mixed. Now she was controlled behind the front runners, they were trying to extend, and in the past 100 Bol just put it in 6th gear and was gaining. Agreed I didn’t expect the gold, but silver was always there.
First 200 meters in was thinking no bronze its gonna be but that last 200 mtrs she was stalking a prey, you could see she was hunting. Epic performance
What a competition this was. Oh my. What a last leg for bol. I had a feeling the jamaican went out too hard and would pay for it. Measure yourself and dont get lost in the moment
@@PimpDaddyStyles Also the temptation as leader to go faster to make the gap as wide as possible is sometimes irresistible, and if you collapse at the end, even a big margin can and will evaporate, as we saw here.
It's always difficult to actually get it right. It's sort of - a 'race against oneself' I suppose. I've raced the 400m and sometimes you think - "I've got it" - just sometimes. Michael Johnson was probably the one constant
I didn't find my country Germany on the medal table. Maybe the TV stations or the newspapers forgot it ? Great job again from Femke. She is a fantastic runner.
@@QuamfyMarc Everything you can think of. I heard that the Dutch top athelets get 6000,- € a month from the state. In Germany they pay 800,- a month. For the rest you have to work or find good paying sponsors. In Italy they pay 25.000,- € for a gold medal. In Germany 6000,-. It's like always. They expect world class but they only pay peanuts.
@@nikolauswolff5791I am pretty sure Dutch athletes do not get 6000 euro a month from the state. Athletes with Olympic or topsport status get funding but that is nowhere near that amount. They do get lots of additional support (training facilities, equipment, counseling etc) through their respectice sport federations and through the Dutch Olympic Committee.
I don't know what British athletes get paid. Dina Asher Smith was advertising muller yogurt for a while. But our national lottery supports our Olympic sportspeople a lot.
It looks that way because Bol is very tall (6 ft +/1.84 m). Running speed is a function of step frequency and step length. It is well known that the average stride length and step length increases with height.
I'm disappointed in the camera footage of the last 20 meters... For the live footage I understand zooming out, but afterwards I would have loved to see these 3 finish filling my screen!
