[@vitorfernandez2995]

I think this is a cheap theory. She ran 4 times in a week and only 2 of those her full intensity was needed. Femke didn't run the 1st heat on the Mixed relay. She cruised on the 400 H 1st heat and semi-finals. Her poor performance is (I think) due to feeling the pressure of the moment and not executing well the last hurdles. In the end, she would probably still be silver, but at least a bit closer to Sydney. An underrated aspect of this Olympics that I don't see talked about too much is that for many, this is the 1st Olympics with a fully packed stadium. It is much easier to be an Olympic Medalist with an empty Stadium.

Super human performance by “Sid the Kid”. I love what Bol can do but Sydney is generational talent. Enjoy it while she’s still doing it, folks.

[@ragas2845]

My assessment of this race. Sydney did not get flustered by Bol's presence. She was confident in her own abilities and was laser focused on herself. She had one goal: to better her own record. While Bol on the other hand although a strong contender for Sydney crumbled under the expectations and pressure. If you look at her body language before the race, she was a little flustered. And during the race once Sydney went past her, she panicked and was focused on Sydney rather than her own form. Bol is so much better than this and she knows this. Hence the disappointment in her face, which ultimately led to her breakdown.

[@jjc8401]

Clear summary. But I think bol spilled some juice on the 400 relay anyway. But all glory to Sidney setting a wr on the peak of moment!

[@ragas2845]

@@jjc8401 I don't think the 400 m relay had any effect on Bol. She is used to running both the relays and individual event. Moreover, the relay took place 3 days ago which means ample recovery time. It's just that the pressure of the situation got the better of Bol.

Respects her opponent and does her running do the talking. And the fact that she praises the lord. She has won it all and yet remains rooted.

Why is everyone so sorry for Fenke Bol? She is the best in the world without a doubt! Or course Sydney is out of this world, no question about this.

[@martijn_yt]

The coach of Femke Bol had said before the race that he expected a winning time in the low 50's, or possibly even sub 50. He told Femke Bol that if she wanted to have any chance of winning, she needed to start faster than she had ever done before and then hope for the best :). Alternatively, she could also play it safe, run her own race and go for an almost certain 2nd place. Bol might however also been a bit overconfident about her chances to beat McLaughlin because of her recent sub 51 race and ofcourse her incredibly fast 400m leg a few days ago. I do however still think it was a courageous decision to go all in with the risk of giving up a almost certain silver medal. Nevertheless, amazing performance from the Queen of the 400m hurdles Sydney McLaughlin as well as number two Anna Cockrell !

[@LifeissuesDLY]

In my opinion, that is very poor coaching advice. Your job as a coach is to create a personalized strategy for your athlete, taking into account her strengths and weaknesses, while also creating scenarios to make your athlete capable of dealing with risk factors during the race. I know that Femke has been working on her first 200 meters for quite some time now, but to suddenly tell her to run her fastest 200 meters because that’s the only way she can beat an opponent is like saying, ‘Forget what we’ve been training for over almost three years and just go follow Sydney.’ That’s very stupid

Before that she was running fast 400m flat times. How exactly was Femke going to beat Sydney? If it wasn't a sure given, why give to Femke?

[@jondavwal13]

I think a fascinating question would be how the race would have looked if their lanes were reversed. I think SML would have gone out much harder to make sure she put pressure on her at the beginning. As it was she just had to stay close enough to know she could close the stagger on the second curve and pull away. I actually am a Bol fan but I knew any talk of her winning was delusional. SML is one of those athletes you see maybe 2 or 3 times in your life. She beat the Olympic Champion in the 200m a few months ago and there is no question she would smoke the field in the open 400. Honestly Bol and SML would be the top 2 in that race as well (with SML on top). Bol was not upset because she lost. I think she would have been OK if she came in second close to her personal best. I honestly thought Bol was in trouble in the semis. Cockerell was just a little too close and made her work to finish first.

Sidney McLaughlin é una fuoriclasse di primissimo livello come lo erano Usain Bolt e Michael Johnson, inarrivabili per chiunque persino per i loro più forti connazionali. Femke Bol ha fatto quello che poteva ma il divario fisiologico é troppo grande anche per lei che comunque, come unica atleta europea e di etnia caucasica, é riuscita a inserirsi nella tripletta delle potenti statunitensi. L'eccezionalità atletica della Bol non ne viene sminuita e fa benissimo ad impegnarsi nelle staffette dove può esprimere al meglio il suo potenziale. Se si concentrasse solo sui 400 ostacoli potrebbe ambire al massimo alla medaglia d'argento e il suo prestigio calerebbe sensibilmente.

@@woodpeckerer if Femke Bol would have performed as she can McLaughlin still is the superior runner. There is no doubt she is something special in a historical perspective. There is absolutely no pain in her winning. The greatest are there to be admired not to be hated. I just despise that exaggerated outgoing behavior with a crown. Last EURO’S, Memphis Depay our main striker started to wear a sweatband urban style like a basketballer. The whole nation wanted Koeman to bench him. We are just not the people who appreciate bragging or showing off. It could be cultural because I see a lot of Americans appreciating this.

Femke the gallant loser Hahaha. Mclaughlin the GOAT pal.

@user-wf5lh8ug9d thats makes her worse tbh... religion is for the nutjobs

[@alexfrance500]

Feel so bad for Bol - all that pressure got to her I think - she looks clearly flustered on the start line.

Throughout the Olympic commentary re: Women’s 400m hurdles, it has been about Femke Bol. They had already given her the Gold medal. Sydney is an exceptional athlete and runs without media hype(she just is). Femke is a World Champion and record holder (indoors) however the biased commentary was biased and annoying (Steve Cram UK commentary amongst others).

[@bpet6990]

Too bad for Bol, but the Dutch are good in braging big talk before the race instead of after the race……besides that the winner in this race is untouchable…..

[@gerardotv373]

Bol Lost having used her energies winning the 400m mixed relay the day before

[@HugoK-xj1mn]

Congratulations Femke on winning the bronze medal. You may not have won the gold medal but you surely won our hearts with your golden personality. You are naturally the best!

[@notis6107]

They have raced 3 times until now, and sydney has broken the wr in every of these races. I cant even imagine what she is gonna do in the next years

[@kostapapa1989]

Work on her arrogant attitude perhaps

​@@kostapapa1989 you're as empty as the empty bowl she vanquished. What's arrogant about her? You call her arrogant for waking you up from your delusion. Dingbat

[@juret3956]

God bless you.

[@romatolojiarsivi]

Perfect. Amazing. Prouding. But i'm sad Femke wasn't looking well before the race. She could've been the second although the other American had a superior physique

[@nikacharles6053]

Performance 🎉

[@OlaBiegaczka92]

Sydney without a doubt is a great champion but Femke was not there today

[@bogdanpopescu1401]

when somebody smashes her own world record, it doesn't matter if the others are there or not

[@brianoneill4227]

@@bogdanpopescu1401 True, but Bol should have been a comfortable second and she knows it. It will be a disappointing one for her, but she still has a gold medal and no one can take that away from her.

[@farzadsamavati2338]

So sad for Femke, she couldn't manage the pressure and was broken mentally. In the last 50m she almost had given up 🙁

[@michaeleverest3487]

Femke probably tired, though Sydney likely would still win. Anyways , medaling anything is a great achievement

[@Dirtytechnique]

Discovery + and Warner brothers are the death of the olympic spirit.

[@dco1019]

bol shouldve ran her normal race (would still not be gold but okay) with the comeback at the end to get the silver

[@chukachukwu9191]

This almost feels like the ladies are running against a man. Syd is just extraordinary. Such a gracious, beautiful woman who is definitely a role model for both genders

[@Aragorn.Strider]

Several of these women can go a lot faster if they would pay notice to airodynamics

Dude I was thinking the same when I saw hair flyeing!
