Femke is a treasure! So humble, down to earth, and with an almost childlike innocence and enthusiasm. You don't get the feeling she's just saying words that sound nice; it's clear everything she says is genuine and heartfelt.

[@DreamingEklektik]

A sweetie pie!

[@joowsty]

so cool alyson felix is her hero because like Femke Felix also had a super fluent running style and run different compared to their fellow competitors. most opponents are super muscular and more like power runners, while both Felix and Bol look more like gazelles when they run. Go Femke go, this will be your year!

I can listen to her stories for hours, Femke is good at storytelling too.

[@daviddivad777]

us Dutchies are very proud of this young lady

[@RickDanner]

she is pure talent beauty and class

[@stuarthys9879]

Bol vs McLauchlin is going to be epic at Paris. Only other race I’m so excited about is the men’s 1500

[@tanyaghosh2277]

Mens 400mH is probably going to be way tighter than the womens even! Also 800m womens will be very competitive as well as 100m Mens & 100mH womens. These are all bound to be cracking races!

As an American and a Sydney fan for the last 10 years, I also think Femke is absolutely amazing. How can anyone not appreciate her.

[@francescostano4445]

Only americans don't appreciate her

[@_MicZ_]

@@francescostano4445 Correction: a very, very tiny subset of Americans don't appreciate her. The large majority of Americans don't follow Track & Field, so they are indifferent to all athletes (but would probably prefer American athletes if asked because of patriotism). I would say that most of the actual American T&F fans would prefer Americans to win (again: patriotism), but can certainly appreciate talents from other countries (heck, the NCAA is the biggest international talent pool). Then there is a tiny group of toxic Americans online, some are overly patriotic, some suffer from the White Knight Syndrome, but most are just trolls and not T&F fans at all. By the way, that last group exists on both sides of the fence, there are some toxic Dutchies online too ...

@@_MicZ_ I think they are upset because Bol gets more attention than McLaughlin even without being faster

Love Femke. Looking forward to watching her at the Olympics.

She is a brilliant example of a woman and an inspiration to men and women

Femke reminds me of Agnetha from ABBA both beautiful both mega talented and both humble and sweet

Femke Bol will be THE highlight of the games Paris 2024. The world has so a star of the sport at most one all 20 years. The last one was Carolina Klüft at the games Athens 2004

@@francescostano4445 Don't worry, he's just a troll. It's totally fine to be a fan of Sydney, she's an amazing athlete (like Bol), but this guy actively searches Femke Bol content only to talk trash. If you just ignore him he'll probably go elsewhere to try and get the attention he so desperately needs ...

[@dcartier1692]

Will she be at Oslo and Stockholm next weeks?

[@_MicZ_]

As far as I know Stockholm is confirmed, I haven't read anything about about Oslo. (Maybe because the Oslo and Stockholm meets are a bit close to each other this year ?)

[@dcartier1692]

@@_MicZ_ great - thanks!

[@Mastermyth08]

Her first race will be Stockholm, so no Oslo.

[@maanvis81]

What does she mean that her talent is 'on the lactic part' ? Does that mean that she is really good in running through exhaustion?

[@DexterGordon-dr8qd]

What she means that she normally is not the fastest in the first 200 meter, but then makes the difference in the second half of the race where others lose power because of the lactic acid build up in their muscles, while she can keep running better and faster, because A.) she has less lactic acid build up and also B.) because she can keep running with lactic acid in her muscles...

[@maanvis81]

@@DexterGordon-dr8qd Thanks for the explanation! I knew about lactate through a video that TeamNL made about the lactate training of Lieke Klaver and the dutch Athletics team (of TeamNL).you can find this video here: "SCHREEUWEN, KREUNEN EN HUILEN?! 😭 | Zó traint atlete Lieke Klaver 🏃‍♀ | Op weg naar Parijs" , it's in dutch with automaitc subtitles, but the auto subtitles should give an idea, and it's an awesome video. Femke Bol is also in it doing the lactate training with Lieke, I just didn't know about Femke's better "Lactate ability" :)

[@billieboybuddha4238]

So lovable, but Im already so nervous for The Olympics, I have this frustrating feeling and fear that she will fall on the hurdles or something, or a disqualification on the relay

[@C.Vitalizio]

You reminded me of another great champion, El Guerrouj. I wish her not to got through what he went through to win his Olympic gold medal but sometimes those hardships can be very beneficial to an athlete and the human being they are.
