“We’ve trained so hard together to make this a Dutch one-two,” said Femke Bol after claiming the world athletics indoor championships in March after defeating Alexis Holmes of the United States. Coming to the Paris Olympics the 24-year-old looked even better and has already won a race.

Yes, Femke Bol had already made a name for herself at the Tokyo Olympics, and now she’s representing the Netherlands at the Stade de France. But what about her speed? Just how fast is she?

Femke Bol’s world record challenging sprints

When speaking of Femke Bol’s speed the athlete comes with some exceptional records of her own. Starting with the World Athletics Indoor championships she broke her own 400 meters world record. The 24-year-old clocked 49.17 seconds and took 0.07 off the record she set at the Dutch championships. Yes, it’s one of her best times yet. Bol’s performances in the 200-meter and 200-meter short track are equally impressive, both clocking in at 22.64. 

That’s not it, her training partner as well as her teammate Lieke Klaver finished second at the World Athletics Indoor Championships with a time of 50.16. Their achievements made history as they became the first two Dutch athletes to reach the podium in the same event. Femke Bol claimed bronze at the Tokyo Olympics.

Three years after Bol is back with better form and already has a gold for her name after she defeated America at the 4×400-meter Olympic race on Saturday last week. The 24-year-old is now eying for her second gold at the Paris Olympics and getting ready for the 400m hurdles final on Thursday. Surprisingly her speed isn’t the only thing that stands her out.

What else makes Femke Bol the most entertaining to watch?

Considering her incredible speed Bol is the fastest woman in history alongside America’s MCLAUGHLIN-LEVRONE Sydney. However, Bol is still one year younger than Sydney 5’11” in height. At just 24 years old, she has already earned two Olympic medals, two World Championship titles, and three Diamond League victories.

Currently holding the rank #2 in the World rankings this Dutch track and field is also a world record holder. After claiming gold at the 4×400 mixed final she also shocked the world with her “Mickey Mouse” voice. While Femke Bol is getting ready for the Women’s 400m Hurdles it will be interesting to see how the race goes.
