I think that would have been disrespectful to Sydney when she was not the favorite and record holder or champ, and is now disrespectful to all racers not named Sydney who they also love. Each one of the top three ladies has lost before and been on the top at times and they know soon so e9be new will come along even faster than them and as athing mu showed, anything can happen, and Hassan, never underestimate your opponent or the heart of a champion as each race is completely different, and these ladies will meet many more times for our enjoyment.

[@wimkoomen5826]

I wonder about the advantage of the altitude. You have 2 components: less air resistance and less oxygen. In 1968 in Mexico the winning time of the 10.000m was 29:27:40. Altitude: 2400m. A very poor time and way below the WR. Why didn't they break the WR? Explanation; less oxygen, much more important than less air resistance. Of course 400m h at 950 m is different than 10.000m at 2400m. There is a study about the prestations of middle and long distance runners. Their prestations declined with 2-4 % above 1000m and with more than 4 % above 2000m. In other words: Femke had a disadvantage and should have run 2% faster at sealevel......

We don't know how fast Femke could run in Eugene, where Sydney ran her best times.

[@edhunt5826]

@@HeadPack We know exactly how fast Femke ran in Eugene when the 50.68WR was set because she was running there as well.

[@quizman365]

​@@HeadPack Could take advantage of the magic clock at Haywards Field then like Sydney does.

I like her voice

[@jimmybondy9450]

After the race sounds a bit like mikey mouse. 🙂

Always said it. Bol will wim the gold next month and destroy the world record.

[@THE_HMRC]

I bet you been saying 'it' since 2020. How's that working out for you?

[@jeaneunia1178]

High altitude performance. 1000m above sea 😂 U can not compare with near sea level

[@yvesgirard6760]

I think at the Olympic they both gonna beat the world record an might run under 50 sec

[@peterdobos1606]

it is on like Donkey Kong!

[@Dave-lr2wo]

Bol has a real chance at gold! ...if Syd falls...

[@andremol6913]

If she falls, it is because she will fall from the throne and there will be a new queen...Femke Bol!

[@lou_hubcity8168]

She did that in altitude?

[@BradAdams-y5f]

How do U turn Syd into a Ghost? Just say Paulino

[@dipankardhar1272]

There was a race mens 400m hurdles, just before this one. Martijn Meijer was winner of that one & his winning time was 52.13 😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@JonaBrans]

That was the C race, in the A race the best time was 48.44

[@pedrosorio9]

@dipankardhar1272 also, the event is not the same. Men’s hurdles are 91.4cm tall and women’s are 76.2cm tall

[@Kelvinllovejr]

Insane. Still confident Sydney will win but it will be a great final in Paris

[@HannibalTamir]

She didn't even win silver in Paris 2024 but bronze 🥉

[@rientsdijkstra4266]

After having run down the American Mixed Relay team coming from 20 meters behind, to get a gold medal for her team...

[@DonMas-car-pone]

Bol improves the fastest 🔥 Now half a second! She's far away from her top level, lovely 👍

[@hearmenow909]

Peaking just at the right time .
