It's insane to think that Bol was basically running a training lap in the semi's and still won, while the girl in 5th place (I think?) was literally pushing so hard she crashed when she crossed the line.

[@veganpotterthevegan]

That's not insane, it's normal. Semis are always full of people doing the very least to get into the finals with the position they want, and others needing to give their all in hopes of a long shot at getting into the finals

[@tulyar57]

The fact that she is slightly taller than 6 feet makes these indoor performances on banked boards even more incredible. I expected her to improve her hurdles times (which she did outdoors last year) but it's her flat 400m speed that is so impressive.

[@Broodjemetbeleg]

Faster on flat will be faster hurdles.

[@QuamfyMarc]

Klaver & Holmes are also tall +6 feet athletes.

[@erikaverink8418]

I am a noob ( i really am) but look how she runs the last meters on this 400 flat, and how that can improve the speed after the last hurdle (flat)

[@TheTurtlebot]

How does the bank affect different height athletes?

[@LuisFernando-ot9yv]

At fast running speeds a lower center of gravity makes for less effort needed because of gforces being applied to a taller vs shorter athlete on banked inclined planes.

Looking forward to the 4x4!

Love Laviai Nielsen. Maybe Klaver can go 49, she had to show down a touch when she met Bol off the break.

[@AllInTheGame01]

​@@actual_random Obviously won't be easy but would love to see a 50.9x from Bol in the 400mH this season, but if not, would like to see her get in the low 51s as much/often as possible. Would then like to see her go for it in the flat 400m in '25 & try to win WC 400m Gold in Tokyo, want to see what she can really do in the flat 400m outdoors when she's solely focused on it! Would like to see Klaver improve on her outdoor 49.81 PB by running sub 49.5s consistently this yr & I like that a couple of the other NED women improved their PBs this indoor season which bodes well for their Relay Teams this yr.

With that speed indoors, Femke can obviously run sub 49 secs outdoors and probably below 48.5 secs. If Sydney can match that then over the next couple of season the unbreakable (and probably drug fuelled) outdoor WR will be in serious danger.

The problem.... she's a Diehard Hurdler and shoots down any talk about her passing on the Hurdles to focus 100% on the Flat. 😣😣 I actually think with 400m training and solely focusing on the Flat... she could be World Champion... and maybe even approach the WR?? Obviously Sydney will be as close to unbeatable also, so that 400m showdown would be EPIC for fans. Either way, I'm just happy she's competing so much and giving fans a lot to cheer about.👏👏👏

[@rientsdijkstra4266]

Indoor is about 2% to 4% slower than outdoor (because you have more and sharper corners). The only reason Femke Bol has a sharper time indoor is that never runs 400 m flat outdoor. In the outdoor season she hurdles... However if we translate her recent performance on the indoor to the equivalent performance outdoor, we can safely say that she has the potential to run low 48's or even 47's on the outdoor 400 m flat.

[@francescostano4445]

[@womenfrom0202]

In the early 2010’s daughter of friends of mine was in athletics in a Dutch club. The trainer there was so focused on delivering the next champions, it took away the fun for the kids and they quit. It’s nice to see the result of this regime, but I strongly believe it needs to be fun for the younger kids and not fanatically driven till the fun is gone. Just my opinion

[@_MicZ_]

So you have from hearsay that one kid once in 2010 had a bad experience at a local athletics club in the Netherlands. It's a shame if that happened to that kid of course, but I don't think that is the case in 99% of athletics clubs in the Netherlands (I've been to quite a few). I totally agree that sports should be fun for kids and to me Femke Bol is the embodiment of that as she has so much fun and love for the sport.

@@minavamp2811 The average difference between indoor and outdoor is between 2% and 4% that means that a time of 49.17 indoor translate to something between 48,20 and 47,27..... Or stated differently: the old indoor record was held by Jarmila Kratochvilova with 49.59. That is to say that Femke Bol improved by 0.42 on that. But Kratochvilova also had an outdoor PB of 47.99. And if Femke could improve so much on Kratochvilova indoor there is not reason to think that she could not do that outdoor. So I think you can see where this goes....

One of the Nielsen Twins come in 4th. I follow the twins on KZbin. I hope that Noah Lyles will interview them. They maybe the two fastest identical twins in history. From the stand point of Health Span they are the two most important runners in the world to me. Why are not those identical twins equally as fast? Even if only a few tenth of a second separate them. Please follow them. Nostradamus suggested that the two Dutch Women could be gold and silver. He was correct. The push that Bol receives from her training partner is amazing. I do not think they can do well without each other. In Pairs unless the other nations beat two they will not beat one. As I always write watch every runner in the field. The United Kingdom only sends one twin. The United States and Jamaica had better get two ready to beat those two Dutch Women or they will push and pull themselves to gold and silver. And not a soul in their nation cares who is said to cross the line first as long as they cross together.

I also find it funny that the world record for this is a second and a half slower than the outdoor 400 world record and people seem to think that McLaughlin, Paulinho, Miller-Uibo and Bol would be close or at least Bol being close to them. Bol maybe close to a win (not that WR) in the hurdles if McLaughlin isn't running. It is way faster than I'd be able to run. I don't know if I could run 300m that fast but lets not pretend there is a contest at the moment.

🤣🤣Please learn your FACTS about indoor vs outdoor times? Why do you think there are TWO separate WR's? Indoor (on a 200m track) is harder than outdoor because indoor the athletes have to run 4 sharp and banked bends, instead of the 2 wider bends on an outdoor 400m track. Therefore the times indoor are always about 2% to 4% slower than outdoor. Which means that Bol's 49.17 WR equates to something between 48.20 and 47.28 (!) on an outdoor track... Or, stated differently: Bol improved on the previous holder of the WR, Jarmila Kratochvilova, by a whopping 0.42 seconds. But Jarmila Kratochvilova had an outdoor PB of 47.99 (which was also the Outdoor / general WR before Marita Koch ran the famous 47.60) .... And given that Bol improved on Kratochvilova's indoor WR, there is no reason why she couldn´t do that on the outdoor track too. And 47.99 - 0.42 = .... Right. Now compare that to the PB's of Paulinho and McLaughlin, 48.76 and 48.74, which are both 1.16 and 1.14 ABOVE the 400 m Outdoor WR.... So Bol is NOT ONLY CLOSE to Paulinho, Miller Uibo and McLaughlin, but you could even say that relatively she is already FASTER. 🤡🤡🤡

Someone took the trouble to make a combined list of Womens performances on the 400 m Flat in terms of IAF Points, since the year 2000. 1. Femke Bol: 1272 Points (49.17, World Record, INDOOR) 1. Shaunae Miller-UIBO: 1272 Points (48.36, OUTDOOR) 3. Britton Wilson: 1260 Points (49.48, INDOOR) 4. Sanya Richards-Ross: 1258 Points (48.70, OUTDOOR) 5. Sydney McLaughlin-Levrone: 1257 Points (48.74, OUTDOOR) 6. Marileidy Paulinho: 1256 Points (48.76, OUTDOOR) I think that should tell you enough?

Thanks for putting those points together. I'd be impressed if I had any clue what the points were awarded for but she's equal top so that's pretty good. @@BromMaskovic-ms4iq

She will not run the 400 metres in Paris. It's not possible because of the schedule.

@@halbedejong7963 its really sad that the scheduling is so poor. you would expect the fastest hurdlers would wanna compete on the flat track too..

@@santilanaknows5308 Even if they were separated, it would be real hard to run all the qualification, semi and final heats and then also be expected to run the 400 relay for The Netherlands team... It's just too much to recover from for such a hard distance.
