Femke Bol is a great athlete, but she has never been on the same level as Sydney

[@bysonchi]

FACTS

[@peterf1]

I've got a problem. I'm a fan of both. I literally don't want to see either lose. OK, yeah we know that's gotta happen, so there's that. I can't fault your statement... as much as Femke has improved massively, it seems Sydney can just go to a higher plane. However, I will say, don't forget the old sports idiom: "There's a reason they play the game."

[@Evilene52]

She will run it once she puts the WR out of reach for a very long time. I think we'll see her focusing only on the open 400 next year, and possibly running 200m to work on speed. I think she wants to attempt to beat that PED recorded 400m WR to finally take it off the record books and I'm not going to be the one who says she cannot. She is only 24 and getting stronger and faster and God willing she stays healthy, unlike last year.

After a race Leverone rarely if ever congratulates her opponents.That is not "great Sportsmanship." When she wins a gold medal she bites it not because she's "Hungry" as you claim but to see if it is pure gold. She has a suspicious mind. She then poses in front of the time indicator so every one can see her time which is tantamount to boasting about it. This is NOT being "Humble."

I disagree. 20 meter lead is running by yourself. I think Femke will be about 7 meters back until the straight. That hasn’t happened since the great Dalilah Muhammad a few years back. Sydney hasn’t had anyone within 15 meters for a while. Because of this, in Paris, with Femke staying at that 7 meter mark, I think Sydney will run between 49.96-50.20, with Femke coming in around 50.08-51.2. My guess is Sydney at 50.06, and Femke at 51.1.

During her 50.68 WR she ran 7 hurdles 14 steps and the remaining 3 in 15 steps.

[@C19hoax21]

Her husband is a former NFL WR so he's all about speed and power. It makes me wonder if she won't start intensifying her focus on power and gravitate towards the 100m and 200m after this Olympics. It would be a whole new challenge for her where the spotlight shines brightest as these champions are widely recognized as the fastest humans on the planet. That's pretty lofty air to walk in but we all know being recognized as "The Fastest Woman Alive" won't be enough; especially when she knows that 10.48 makes her the fastest woman who's ever lived. She clocked 11.07 in the 100m in 2018. 11.07. Think about it. That is only .56 seconds off the world record and she has never professionally trained for it. Plus, she has become considerably faster and more powerful with her intensified training pursuing 400m perfection. I'll bet she can run high 10.6s within the first month of a switch over. At a recent meet, she dipped her toe into the short sprint pool participating in the 200m alongside Sha' Carri and some of the other big names in professional track. Not only did she make the finals, she won the whole damned thing with a respectable time. Interesting. Pack 10 lbs. on to her upper legs and butt from thousands of deep, full squats and road bicycling work and watch out world. While we'll be eyeing Flo-Jo's unapproachable 10.49 world record she'll be pushing herself to the limit each and everyday believing she can shock even the Gods atop Mt.Olympus when they see those three red numbers lit up that read, "9.99!". Many would be quick to doubt that possibility but I'll bet few would be certain enough to put a chunk of money on it. She's special.

She already would be a favorite to win Gold in the 400m if she had chosen to run that race in Paris and the 200m is a possibility too in the future but the 100m might be to much of a reach and she needs to focus on the 400 and 200 post Olympics.

Bol will not be able to challenge Sydney

[@vernonfrance2974]

@talkingitout1623 Bol just wants to run her best and will take a loss the same as a victory - with equanimity, poise and good sportsmanship.

[@hearmenow909]

It was only a matter of time after the 2019 race because Sydney is 10 years younger than Muhammad.

I don't believe .01 seconds is smashing a record but okay

[@acasualviewer5861]

it was .03 (the screen said 50.67 but the official time was 50.65) but I get your point about "smashing" But to be able to improve your WR 4 times is really a remarkable effort and a testament to good training and good injury management.

[@brunogirard6920]

Femke who? Where is the rivalry?. Sydney's only competition anytime anywhrere and any competition is only Sydney.

[@vernonfrance2974]

@brunogirard6920 She just recently started to beat Delilah Muhammad so she understands what it means to lose a lot.

[@Terry-du3vc]

@@vernonfrance2974yeah breaking the world record 5 times tends to make her lose a lot . Femke loses all the time then by your logic cause she hasn’t EVER defeated Sydney .

Clock says 50:67, and all of a sudden, it magically turns into 50:65. We will see the true running times in the Olympics.

[@saud29]

That change represents the true time accounting for any head or tail wind.

[@KING4aday46]

@saud29 ok now, I understand. Thanks.

[@wayneegli8379]

The photo system date-time stamps the event. The timer on the track is often a little bit off based on whether it is electronically triggered at the start and finish.

[@Xx-po1fu]

Sydney beat her old world record but she didn't smash it, 50.68 to 50.65. I think a time between 50.60 - 50.64 is more realistic for her, this talk of below 50 seconds in nonsense.

[@Terry-du3vc]

You trying to put a ceiling on Sydney’s capabilities is what’s silly . Not sure how you figure you know what her limits are when I’m sure you had no idea she was capable of breaking her record in only her second 400h final of the season. Sub 50 is definitely a possibility.

just hope she aint doping

Yes, 2 reasons to wonder: - a lot of time not competing; - bobby.

i believe both Sydney and Bol will run below 50 seconds in Olympic

[@MrCvjalexander]

I think Sydney will be pushed to go below 50. I see Bol going below the current record but falling short of breaking the 50 sec barrier.

[@efisgpr]

😂😂😂😂 Femme will be WELL BACK

[@mauricebrew7712]

Relax. Bol hasn’t even gone under 51 yet.

[@cyranodaburgerack8745]

​@@MrCvjalexanderYup, there's a reason most world records fall at the Olympics, and not at trials. Sidney certainly made a statement, but Bol will push her. I can't wait to see two great athletes compete. The fanboyism is just dumb.

[@ericdawson845]

@@cyranodaburgerack8745 I can see Bol fighting it out with COCKRELL, not Sydney who will be long gone...

[@petercosta3991]

Often overlooked and unmentioned is the fact that not only does she have amazing athletic skills and disciple, but she is a woman of faith. Her devotion to Jesus is the greatest source of her strength and talent.

[@pauldraaijer5265]

No it's not

[@ExecutiveFitness-sk1bb]

It is truly unfortunate that she is not sprinting the flat 400 or the 200.

[@iwanbottos5128]

I hope n9t , I have not seen her against Femke Bol , why do you think that is?Enfin, we'll meet at the Olympics and will try to finally close those USA mouths for a while .And not only on those stupid hurdles. But we still have Lieke Klaver and the 4x4 00 Mars men and women . It will be very interesting at least .

You're Cool man. We drink the same drink as she does in the commercials for almost 20 years but our running and walking are still slow as ever. We used the powder one and no sugar. We stopped it after 10 years of drinking that stuff.
