      Femke's 400 flat PR (49.17) was on an indoor track. she hasn't yet shown what she can do outdoors - I expect her to shave about a second off that time (long track is considerably easier to run than short track). It will most definitely be close. I would pick Femke to win the flat and Sydney to win the hurdles.

She could EASILY do both at the US trails, the open 400 round 1 takes place 2 or 3 days AFTER the 400 hurdle finals. As for the Olympics, it would be "hard" but not too crazy. She would run 6 days straight but only 1 race a day. The only bad thing about that is the events alternate each day.

    From a marketing standpoint I say she stay with the 400mH and win another Olympic gold medal in that; your world record can be broken, but your Olympic title is forever. After the 2024 Olympics she can concentrate on the open 400m for the rest of the season, maybe mix up some 400mH with open 400m (and a few 200m?) in early 2025 to see what she can do in the 400m. Stay with the 400mh in the 2025 World Champs then use 2026 to concentrate on the 400m and see how far she can drop her PR., maybe switch to the open 400M for the 2027 WC and 2028 Olympics.

      I can concur. I ran professionally back in the day (U.S. Nationals 1996 for the Atlanta games semi finals 100m got dusted haha). I still compete as a 52 year old man, and still have connections in the “pro” world.
      My friend, who lives out in Cali, told me Sydney is doing a lot of 500 work, consistently hitting 36-37 seconds for 300, 12 for the next 100, and 12 for the last 100. They are training for this record for sure. From the sounds of those intervals, Bobby is setting the stage for rounds. He wants her at that for the rounds so it won’t stress her out and it’s easy, then race time hit mid 33 for the 300 and 11.3-11.5 for the last. That’s what it sounds like to me

    It’s really interesting (and entertaining lol) to read everyone’s comments about Sydney vs Femke (Bol)!!!
    No doubt about it, Sydney was phenomenal in 2020-2023 before she was injured! Although she has announced that she’ll be competing in the 400h, that’s no guarantee that she will run the 400h in Paris…she’s leaving her options open. It’s nearly certain that she WON’T run in both the 400m & the 400h since it would tire her out considerably and reduce her chances of a gold
    medal in either. I like one person’s comment that Sydney might try to get a gold medal in the 400m in order to distinguish her as the only athlete to win an Olympic gold medal in both events even if it’s in different Olympic games.
    Regarding those that have stated that Sydney is basically a sure thing to take gold in Paris for the 400h…you better think twice! I’d give Femke Bol 50-50 odds of beating Sydney for the following reasons:
    1. Femke is a few months younger that Sydney and hasn’t reached her peak yet.
    2. She started running the 400h at an older age than Sydney and is still improving her technique (just recently running 14 steps per hurdle instead of 15)
    3. Femke has also been improving her speed & stamina (she set and twice broke her own indoor record in the 400m 49.16)
    4. Femke is lazer-focused on only running while Sydney has been distracted writing & promoting her new book, designing and promoting her line of New Balance running attire, and making speaking engagements & talk show appearances.
    5. Femke has been consistently injury free while Sydney missed most of the 2023 outdoor season and is understandably rusty.
    Both women are incredible athletes, as well as human beings, and it will be awesome to see them compete in Paris!

    In Europe, Femke Bol is considered the person to beat. Consider, however, Syd has been dominant for going on five years in the open and hurdles. Phenomenal.

    • @ofs82
      @ofs82 20 дней назад

      The problem is, you have to enter a race for people to be able to beat them. McLaughlin's long absence has meant that Bol has been de facto the woman to beat, simply because she's clearly the best athlete that's been competing.
      I really don't understand so many people hyping Muhammad though - she was the best a few years ago, but she has been noticeably on the wind-down since Tokyo and didn't make the final in Budapest. Shamier Little has been comfortably the second best US women's 400mh runner the last two seasons.

Furthermore Femke and mrs McLaughlin met on the track only TWICE, in 2021 and 2022. But Femke only started on the hurldes in 2019. Thus in 2021 Femke was still a NOVICE with only 2 (!) years of experience.
