The World Indoor Championships are up and running in Glasgow currently. The three-day action-packed event has so much to offer for the fans, with some of the best athletes in the world battling it out. One such name that fans are eagerly waiting to see is the 400-meter hurdles world champion, Femke Bol.
However, the 24-year-old Dutch sprinting prodigy is unhappy with the eleventh-hour alterations that were made to her schedule. She expressed her rage in an interview, and her statement has swept social media.

During the interview, she was asked if she was ready for the evening, as she looked comfortable in the heat. To this, Bol replied, “To be honest, playing has been a bit disturbed since the exchange, the 48 hours before I do the heat.” She further added, “We were not too happy; I had to change my plan.” The post was shared by Owen M on their X handle on Friday. This happened due to the modifications that were made in her heat during the last minute that ultimately hampered her plans. There can be several reasons behind her being upset, as these changes can hamper an athlete’s morale or even have an impact on the timing as well.

However, she kept her nerves and finished the race. Bol was also asked if there was another world record on the cards, to which she said that the atmosphere was fantastic, the track and championship were exceptional, and she aimed to recuperate and assess the world record thing the next day. Now the 400 meter expert runner is anticipated to replicate her Dutch Indoor Championships performance where she broke the 400m record with lightning finish of 49.24 seconds.
