Women's 400m Hurdles Final | Tokyo Replays

📲 Subscribe to @olympics: oly.ch/Subscribe
The USA's Sydney McLaughlin has set a new world record with a phenomenal run in the women's 400m hurdles final. The new Olympic champion broke her own world-best mark of 51.90, storming past compatriot Dalilah Muhammad down the home straight to win the Olympic gold medal in 51.46 seconds. Muhammad - the Rio 2016 Olympic champion - took silver, going under 52 seconds in a time that also broke the former world record (51.58). Femke Bol of the Netherlands finished third in a new European record of 52.03.
The Tokyo 2020 Olympic Summer Games took place in Japan, from July 23, 2021 to August 8, 2021.

Femke Bol because of her happy, optimistic attitude who loves every detail of her sport reminds me of Willie Mays; and because she never gets tired of competing in the sport she loves, competes weekly, whenever a competition is available and doesn't only wait for the yearly big meets, reminds me of Joe Louis who never stopped defending his title month to month his whole career; he didn't wait until once a year for the big bout like the rest of the heavyweight champions. Femke Bol, Willie Mays, and Joe Louis are truly champions of the people, the people's champions, the Democratic champions. I love Femke Bol. What did she do after the Olympics? She kept competing week to week until the Diamond League Season ended.
