Femke Bol is Better than Sydney McLaughlin | The Olympics 2024 Prediction

- With the 2024 Olympic Games in Paris just a few months away, the anticipation for an epic showdown over the women’s 400-meter and 400-meter hurdles is at the top of the roof. The track community is already prepared to watch what appears to be the biggest clash in the world of track field. And that clash guys is between the Dutch sensation, Femke Bol and America’s renowned queen of hurdles Sydney McLaughlin-Levrone. Of course, if you’ve been following track and field events lately, you already know these two seem to be equal contenders over the 400-meter and 400-meter hurdles. They’ve both been dropping down impressive performance, and it’s almost impossible to tell who among them stands strong. But guys, Femke Bol has just sent a strong message to McLaughlin-Levrone, proving that she is not the kind to be taken for granted.

As a Dutchman and as a supporter of Femke Bol I really don't like this kind of video. Femke Bol had a great season in 2023, and also the first months of 2024 and it is clearly Bol who has the momentum right now, and it is up to McLaughlin to show where she stands after 1.5 year of absence. But ms Bol is also a very humble and down to earth person, and she has great respect (!) for Sydney McLaughlin, as she has said several times. This kind of pumped up video with Swolen AI voice is completely NOT her style.
Exactly. It's fan boys who dislike Sydney cause she is black ish.
All americans who think McLaughlin is better liked your comment lol, good for you
@@Joyce-zl4qdyou said Kaczmarek is way faster than Bol which doesn't make any sense and now you're talking about fanboys lol
@@francescostano4445 Maybe, but if they do that is not very smart of them... Nowhere in my comment do I say that either of the two is "better". My message is about the tone of this video and the fact that both Bol and McLaughlin have a lot more personal wisdom and style than this video displays. If people are so shortsighted that they can't separate these things, that is their problem. Both Bol and McLaughlin are way ahead of this nonsense.
@@DexterGordon-dr8qd Under this video there are only americans saying McLaughlin is better but you are complaining about the only one(the one who made the video) that is saying Bol is better. Of course they will like your comment
Either you are click baiting or have no perspective on athletics, while femke has had a wonderful year so far and ran some fantastic times and without doubt the best active runner in the world 400 hurdles/ flat, Sydney has all the achievements that defines a generational icon: Olympic champion, world champion and multiple times world record holder by a long way from the previous mark. Even femke would be mindful not to be as bold as your headlines because she is also respectful and classy
They're talking about now, "The Olympics 2024 prediction" in the title. Also Bol has more world titles than Sydney she only misses Olympic gold that she will win this year
femke
is just starting, she's coming to get Sydney. I love Sydney as well. I'm so excited about both of their progression. I think both of them will be the highlight of the 2024 Olympics.
Yes, one of the things that I like about Femke, is her post race attitude and demeanor, she always acknowledges her race competition.
@@francescostano4445 Femke has no world record in the 400m H and Sydney has broken the world record 3 times. Almost none of the top athletes have been running races until recently as they seek to peak at the Olympics. Sydney ran a leg on a 4x100m relay a couple of weeks ago and will run the 400m H at the Los Angeles Grand Prix.
@@davidzuk4894 Who cares? Bol is the world Champion and McLaughlin doesn't run a 400mh race since 2022, so Bol is better now
Break Sydney’s record then you will be the best
She will. Question is: what is McLaughlin going to do?
Same thing she usually does, trust in god and win
@@DexterGordon-dr8qd😂😂 you’re delusional if you think a white girl can go 50 seconds in the 400hurdles
@@DexterGordon-dr8qdHas she even come close to beating it?
@@samurock100 Femke Bol improved last year by 0.85, shortly after changing her technique to the 14 step stride, while her technique was still rough. This year they have had much more time to fine tune that 14 step technique and Femke is in great shape this year (her values are better this year than last). The distance to the WR is 0.77. I think Femke will do that, in the near future. Bigger Question is: what will mrs McLaughlin do?
Sydney is only seven MONTHS older than Femke. About the same age. They have at LEAST TWO MORE OLYMPICS before they succumb to age. Looking ahead to 2028 AND 2032
Femke Bol is better at exactly WHAT, than Sydney McLaughlin? Being tall? Who has the better PR at the 400 meter hurdles, at the outdoor 400 meters, and even at the outdoor 200 meters. There is only ONE outdoor hurdle World Record holder and Olympic champion in this conversation.
I must admit that the title of this video and its story is irritating. And McLaughlin has that fabulous WR on the 400 hurdles. Actually on the 400 flat Femke Bol has the edge. Bol has 3 (!) World Records on the 400 flat, while McLaughlin's record on the 400 flat is not that convincing, in the last 1.5 year she ran 3 outdoor races with times of 49.5, 49.7 and 48.74.
Femke Bol on the other hand has racked up in the last 1.5 year:
1 World Championship on the 400 hurdles ,
1 World Championship on the 400 flat indoor
2 World Championships n the 4x400 Relay
3 World Records on the 400 flat, and
23 wins in 23 races in top level events (World Championships and Diamond League)
So yeah, that is a little bit more than "being tall" 🤡
@@rientsdijkstra4266 - Femke does not have the edge, Sydney’s 400m flat times are faster than anything Bol has ever produced. Same with the 400mh, 200m, 100m & 100mh. Syd has faster times than Bol in all 5 events.
@@TheKissingMan Femke Bol: Broke Jarmila Kratochvilova's indoor World Record by 0.42 seconds. McLaughlin: still 0.75 ABOVE Kratochvilova's PB (and previous WR) on the outdoor. Conclusion on the flat Bol = faster than McLaughlin.
Exactly.
@@ronniejohnson196 McLaughlin just ran a 22.38 on the 200 meter (hosanna!), with 2.9 m/s tailwind. That is about 22.5 to 22.6 in reality. Bol already ran 22.64 indoor in februari, 1 HOUR after having won a 400m
The top race of the upcoming Olympics in Paris, hands down! No other race in any Olympic sport will match this race!
I keep hoping someone can put together a fact based video that is based In reality and I keep getting disappointed. The reference to Femke destroying Sydney's ego had me laughing.
Fact: Bol 0/ McLaughlin 8.
Those are the facts
@@willaimoconnell9430 Bro I often see you repeating this "fact" of yours, please explain what it MEANS? 0 what versus 8 what?
As a Fan of Femke Bol I must admit that these fan video's are often very cringe... Reality: Femke Bol has been developing fast over the last few seasons and setting great results, while Sydney McLaughlin has not been showing much, but on the other hand McLaughlin is still the holder of the WR on the hurdles.
@@rientsdijkstra4266 I agree with you. Femke has improved a lot over the last two seasons. It will be great to see both amazing athletes compete.
@@lasvegas4164I think he makes up for the lack of facts by mis-pronouncing every single last name in the video, don't you?
To be the BEST you gotta BEAT the BEST!!!!!USA
And BOL will....
@@hankwilliams5622 LOL, SYDNEY OWNS BOL AND IT WILL CONTINUE ...
@@KevinSutton-te8cs SID looks FAT and JUICED and BOL will run away from her.
This is a terrible Head Line. Stop this stupid stuff!! They are both supreme athletes give them the respect they have both earned!!
Sydney is my favorite runner. Bol is amazing. I am rooting for Sydney but will not be disappointed if Bol wins. I would really like to see them go 1 2 at the Olympics but we do not know what other countries will have!
Je crois que Femke et Lieke vont faire du ménage aux JO de Paris, en athlétisme.
Bol will win the 400m hurdles in Paris simply because Sydney skips the event. But the WR will stay. On the other hand, Sydney will win both the 400m flat and the 4x400m relay.
I am a great fan of Femke Bol, and I do think she probably has the potential to overtake Sydney McLaughlin, but for now I would not say that that has already happened, although Femke is getting close... What many people dont realize is that Femke started only in 2019 on the Hurdles, so she had only 2 (!!) years of experience when they ran in the Olympic games in Tokyo and Femke got Bronze..., and only 3 years when they met in the the World Championships in Eugene. While Sydney McLaughlin by then already had 7 years of experience or so (see went to the Olympics in Rio...). So it is no wonder that Sydney was faster in those meets. However, it is worth noting that Femke got a time of 51.45 that would have gotten Gold in Tokio in july 2023, when she still had only 4 years of experience and had only just switched to the 14 step stride a few months before. So we can say that Femke develops very fast over the last few years. The same goes for the 400 flat where Femke ran 3 WR's in the space of a year. McLaughlin on the other hand has delivered hardly any performance over the last 1.5 year... And nobody seems to know what her status is, or what her plans are. HOWEVER. Sydney McLaughlin is still the holder of that great WR on the hurdles! So for the moment I would say that the situation is unclear... I hope the Olympics in Paris will bring more clarity in the situation.
Yeah, I am glad that your favorite is Femke Bol and that is your prorogative but I am an American and I only cheered and routed for my own country USA that my favorite team is USA; I am their fan; and that is the difference between me and you!!! Both Bol and her partner are impressive and are a treat to everyone in the 400m dash and the 400m hurdle, but there are others too that are just as impressive if they qualify to compete, and everyone wants to win - everybody - but it's just one winner and whoever crosses over the finished line is the winner of the 400m dash and the 400m hurdle! Both Bol and her partner have an international coach, I believe from a French speaking country and challenges his athletes and getting them prepared for the Olympics if they have punched their tickets to Paris; and Yeah, her accomplishments are impressive and again she is the favorite to win this year, but she would be challenged also by her contenders because the World is coming to the Olympics: she would have the best of the best in all countries, including the AMERICANS so she would have to prove that she is the best of the best!! But I am still BIASED, I am cheering and routing for the AMERICANS!!! Thanks for sharing though!!!!
@@gailjones1807 Well, we all support our own... And of course there is always the possibility that someone else than these two pops up, although, on the hurdles it think that is less likely than on the flat, because the hurdles are more technical... So IF Sydney runs on the hurdles I still think it would mainly be between Sydney and Femke. But it is hard to predict what will happen. I wish you lots of enjoyment and exciting races in the coming months!
She does not have to beat her WR to be better than her, that is only one race. The title says "The Olympics 2024 prediction"
@@francescostano4445 hm, actually I don't like this whole "better than" thing. What we can talk about is performances. For instance: one can say: "Sydney is the WR holder, but Femke is coming close to her, and Femke started on the hurdles only in 2019, whereas Sydney already started before 2016", etc. etc. Those are substantive statements. However a statement like "Femke is better" or "Sydney is better" has no substance, because it involves making judgements on the basis of criteria... And what is the definition and criterium for being "best" and how do you measure that (best of all time, best at this moment, etc.)? I wouldn't know to be honest!
@@francescostano4445 Yeah, I don't make predictions because time are subjective and could be changed; if the runners are constant and consistent, their time would be close to it or exceed it depending upon the weather and if they remained HEALTHY and injuries free! Sydney was injured and would be coming off that injury: so that was a setback and health challenges; Femke Bol said that she was very tired so that is fatigue physically but it's still easy in the season of Track and Field so I have no clue...oh, by the way, Sydney ran the 4×100m dash recently with Pardini, Harrison, and Adiunon ( I know that I misspelled their names), and they were called the Formula Kersee: score was together 12.93 and medalled for second 🥈 place: the International team rewarded the 🥇 gold medal with a time together of 12.03. ( that team was Dina Asher Smith, Ireland sprinter, Jamaican sprinter, and Julien Alfred: 3 were trained in the universities here in the United States and gone pro, except for Dina Asher Smith, but are trained in the United States of America too under an American/ international coach), coaching is very important and a runner's support team so let the GAMES begin!!!
For those who go on about their ages. Much more relevant is their years of experience. Bol started only in 2019 on the hurdles. So in at the Olympic Games in 2021 Bol had only 2 (!) years of experience, versus McLaughlin who went already went to the OG in Rio in 2016, so she had at least 6 or 7 years of experience (because that means that she must have started at least in 2014 or 2015). Still, with her 2 years of experience Bol got Bronze in Tokio. That is WILD.. And in 2023, only 4 years after having started on the hurdles, and a few months after making the switch to a 14 step stride, Bol already ran a 51.45 in London, the 3d fastest time ever, which would have given her Gold at the OG in Tokio.
She is NEVER catching Sydney.
Sydney is simply a lot faster.
Cope.
@@efisgpr Hey the peabrain who can't count is here again! In 2023, with 4 years of experience Bol ran 51.45, FASTER then the 51.46 that McLaughlin ran in 2021 in Tokio with 8 (!) years of experience
@@efisgprAthletes aren't static numbers. Even if they stay great, they won't necessarily be able to equal their best times. If Sydney runs like she did in the 21 Olympics, Bol will likely beat her. It's like saying that Bolt is gonna run 9.58 again. Syd may be faster than 2 years ago, she may be slower. But it's been 2 years. Bol may keep improving, she may not.
In a race between these two, if anyone makes a mistake, they will lose.
Syd was 13 turning 14 in 2014 ya door knob. A literal kid. Lmao
You don’t get your crazy speed until mid college right before the fastest usually turn pro. Meaning Femke starting at 19 in 2019 was the perfect time to start as she had experience in other events which 100% translates to many options in track and field.
Sydney is still faster. Stay salty.
It’s like making excuses for Noah on why he hasn’t beaten Bolts records in the 100m & 200m. Keep blaming the “well he/she started earlier” bullsh*t. 💀
News flash, some runners will always be faster no matter if someone else starts sooner or trains more.
Sydney is proven, all the way from grade school to the Olympics, improving at each level. I bet Bol is not pontificating.
The fact is that Femke Bol only started on the hurdles in 2019... So Sydney McLaughlin had (and still has) a great head start on Femke Bol in terms of years of experience. However Bol has been improving very fast over the last years, while McLaughlin has not been doing much.. And I would say that Bol also has proven a few things by now...
They're both great athletes and the only way to determine who is better is in a head-to-head duel. The interest is high, of course, since Femke has been improving while Sydney has been out with injury. But Sydney and her team are very calculating and I'm quite sure she will be at her best when the Olympics rolls around.
@liberty5069 let the record stand for itself. The only way you can take down Florence Griffith joiners is to beat it. The only way you can take down Usain Bolt record is to beat it. There is no femke bol it just McLaughlin until some one breaks the record
Bol has a much larger body of work, however; I don't think she will ever go around Sydney in the final 100m. She will need to be ahead and hold on to the lead.
Bol is deceptively fast in the last 100m. She probably can't catch Syd in the past 100 unless Syd goes out too fast, but I'm not sure Syd can catch Bol either.
Don't get too far ahead of yourself there. YOU simply don't know, NO ONE knows who will win which ever race.
Men or women's, no matter the event.
Truth.
Bol started on the hurdles in 2019. McLaughlin started on the hurdles 2014. So Mc Laughlin has 5 years of headstart on the hurdles. Yet in 2023, with 4.5 years of experience Bol ran a 51.45 which is faster than the 51.46 that McLaughlin ran to get the Gold at the Olympic Games in Tokio, with 7.5 years of experience.
mcglauglin ran a 50 peon , if you can run faster while jumping im sure she will run even faster without goofy
@@Tangela-xr4um A 50 peon? Lady, if you want to discuss please try to get your facts sorted out before you say silly things.
All her clout came when Sydney was off the track… ALL OF IT
AND… all of her fastest times are indoors
McL is just magnetic 🧲
she has to prove it first, as long as Mclaughlin holds the WR- she's still the world champion.
Bol is the world champion, McLaughlin the world record holder. These are two different things
That is factually wrong (!). Yes, McLaughlin is still the WR holder, and the current Olympic Champion, but Femke Bol is the current World Champion! (maybe you missed the World Championships in Budapest last year where Femke Bol won and thus became World Champion?)
@@PacoJastorius-gx1fbFemke is only the World Champion because Sydney backed out of worlds to focus on recovery for the Olympics. Some of you people are absolutely brainless.
@@TheKissingMan WOW, I am impressed with your amount of confidence. We will see what happens, brother.
@@TheKissingMan Bol ran 51.45 in London, with only 4 (!) years of experience (she started hurdling in 2019...) It took McLaughlin 7 years to produce the 51.46 in Tokio...

What is the point of the clickign and whoshing sounds ? They really dont add to the value of the video and many will find them irritating and a distraction
To answer your response about Sydney, she said that she doesn't be concerned about other contenders, she only concerns about her own race not 🚭🚫 no one else including Femke Bol of the Netherlands!!! When she was asked.. so who is concerned; you or Femke Bol?! Because right now, she is competing with herself because the one who caught up with her was her partner at the Indoors WORLD but not 🚭🚫 the hurdles of the 400m but only the 400 m dash indoors mostly... casing point; she was not 🚭🚫 at the Tom Jones Memorial Invitational of 2024!!! The Olympics is the Olympics and anything can happen; Femke Bol would be the favorite because of her achievements but we have to wait and watch the event unfolded; but I am 🚭🚫 biased; I only cheered and routed for my own country USA! Go USA and go Sydney!!!!
@@_MicZ_ Thanks for the compliment!!! Have a blessed day!!!
We will see, but I find it hard to believe she doesnt care what her competitors do. Underestimating a direct opponent is the dumbest thing one can do.
@@afcansf5996 I heard what she said and I believe her: you must not 🚭🚫 be a sprinter!! A sprinter is only concerned about his/her race and training and practice and that goal is to achieve that accomplishment and to win, medalled or persevere in trying to be in the top 8.... She knows what she wants, but you don't. She was asked and she responded to that question!! When sprinters are in their lane, and when that gun goes up, they sprinted and not 🚭🚫 concerned about who is next or near them until they accelerated to their next gear of getting to the line first, second, third and so forth and that is a FACT, so to call Sydney a liar is disrespectful and unprecedented mean -spirited!! But I am biased and I only cheered and routed for my own country USA and I know that Sydney would do well after her setbacks and health challenges and tries to stay healthy!!! Her goal is to compete and punch her ticket to the Paris Olympics and everyone wants that so the US Track and Field trials are going to be FIERCE and extremely competitive first and I being an American would be watching the events occurring in June for the Olympics 2024!!!
It's simple arithmetic, you are better when you run faster. Thank you Track and Field for making it so easy.
Sydney hold the record period
Syd just opened with a 12.7 PR for HHurdles. Marchup in Paris looking like the 400H
I must respect both of these athletes. But I am a Sydney fan forever. Bol has some creds that concern me. I just need to see how Sydney develops over the year.
Better right now or better career than Sidney? I think that’s the question isn’t it? Nor have they competed against each other because of Sidney’s injury. So maybe we’ll find out over the coming months.
Sydney has always left her well back ....
@@efisgpr Exactly, so this is just clickbait to me. How is she better than someone who has broken the world record three times in the same event as Femke ??
They are the same age with the same length of track career. Syd is faster and holds faster times than Bol in both the 400 flat & 400mh which is why Syd is far more famous than Bol. Well until recently when Bol got hype at worlds after she fell flat on her face then miraculously won her next race, that’s when people started paying attention to Bol.
However, she would not have been World Champion if Sydney was running. Sydney skipped worlds to recover for the Olympics. Lol
@@TheKissingMan McLaughlin is more famous only in the USA lol, you think your country is the world
@@francescostano4445 hmm
Sydney has 2 million followers combined across her social media platforms. Bol has 350 thousand across hers. Your statement couldn’t be more false.
Obviously, when this kind of video promotes someone, it is promoting the lesser athlete as the greater. So we do not need to waste breath negating it; it is self negating/
it's out of question that Femke Bol is the favorite in Paris 2024. Sydney is currently even not the best hurdles runner of USA (which is Anna Hall, if she would take part in, besides heptathlon, the competition of hurdles)
SYDNEY HASN'T BEEN RUNNING THE HURDLES AND WITH HER 400 METER TIMES I'D PUT MONEY ON SYDNEY IF SHE ELECTS TO RUN THE HURDLES..AND MAYBE MORE!
@@alexandermacgowan9951 You sure need a lot of capitals...
Bolt hasn't raced against the runner's that Sydney has.
That’s because Bolt is a retired sprinter and former fastest man in the world 😆
SHE'S REALLY FAST, BUT HER LAST NAME IS STILL SPELLED "BOL"
The thing is, Sydney has been injured and off the track. So, IF she loses everyone is going to run with this narrative even though it’s not true and won’t be proven until Sydney is back in stride
I want to see double sub 48s.
I want to see great see where these two go...and I want to see what happens with Mia Brahe-Pedersen, Victoria Cameron, and Aria Pearce🙂😎 These are up and coming stars🙂As for up and coming males...I want to see how Coby Hilton, Dylan Randall, Tanner and Cole Beck develope🙂

The rest was Perfect for Sydney, Femke still is a few steps in the flat 200 & hurdles 200.
200?
The ladies are 6 months apart in age. You make it sound like Mclaughlin was years older in her first Olympics.
McLaughlin was 16 in her first Olympics, Bol 21. And yes they are only 6 months apart but McLaughlin was already running world class times at 18/19 while Bol was not. Bol has been progressing far more in the last few years, she started later
@@francescostano4445 and whose fault is it that Bol is not as talented as Sydney----no one cares when Bol started; so far, she has shown herself to be consistently second to Sydney and will continue to be so forever.
@@kobbieafriyie2172 the point is Bol has been improving far more than McLaughlin. She's not second since 2022 and she'll never be second again
The difference: Bol started only in 2019 on the hurdles. So in at the Olympic Games in 2021 Bol had only 2 (!) years of experience, versus McLaughlin who went already went to the OG in Rio in 2016 so she had at least 6 or 7 years of experience. Still Bol got Bronze as little more than a novice in Tokio. That is WILD.. And in 2023, only 4 years after having started she already a 51.45 which would have given her Gold at the OG in Tokio, and wich took McLaughlin at least 6 or 7 years to reach
@@kobbieafriyie2172 If Bol reached 51.45 in 4 years while McLaughlin reached 51.46 in 6 or 7 years, that shows that Bol develops faster. Simple Math bro.
Make that prediction at your own peril...
1:15 but Femke Bol was just a teen trying to find her standing in track and field??.....Well, you can say the same with Sydney McLaughlin!! They are THE SAME AGE, it just so happened that McLaughlin had established herself as a teen as a star.....And now the record holder of the 400 hurdles (which Bol would have had, if she were in a era that did not include McLaughlin).
Bol improved by 5 seconds in the last 5 years, McLaughlin only 2 seconds even if they are the same age. Let's see if Bol suddenly stops improving and she doesn't surpass McLaughlin
@@francescostano4445 Femke Bol (pronounced [ˈfɛmkə bɔl] ⓘ; born 23 February 2000); (Sydney McLaughlin; born August 7, 1999). Sydney is 5 month older. And to just stop you in your tracks, SYNDNEY HAS THE WORLD RECORD. .....So what if Bol improved 5 seconds? It was not enough, now was it? And until Bol surpasses McLaughlin, your point is hypothetical.....Let's see if Bol suddenly stops improving and she doesn't surpass McLaughlin (as of McLaughlin will NOT improve....smh).
@@THE_HMRC the point is that even if they are basically the same age their improvement curves have been completely different. Like I said Bol improved a lot more than McLaughlin since she turned pro, in 2019 Bol was running 56 and McLaughlin already 52. So if they continue this way Bol will easily surpass McLaughlin
Yep, but in those early years Bol was doing things like cross country running etc, etc. Bol STARTED on the HURDLES in 2019. McLaughlin STARTED ON THE HURDLES IN 2014. So Mc Laughlin has 5 YEARS OF HEADSTART
@@THE_HMRC Mrs McLaughlin still has the WR, nobody will deny that. Still, in 2023, with only 4.5 years of experience on the hurdles Bol ran a 51.45 in London, wich is faster then Sydney McLaughlins (who had 7.5 years of experience by then) 51.46 at the Olympic Games in Tokyo, and would have gotten Gold in Tokyo.
While I am a Femke Bol fan and love to watch her compete, I think that Sydney Mclaughlin may have a small edge. I'm really looking forward to the competition.
A big edge. .....as ALWAYS.
I love Bol but she’s 15 ft behind Sydney at the finish line on average by time. 50.68 all that needs to be said.
McLaughlin second best time is only 0.04 faster than Bol. And Bol is improving a lot more
Even if Syd is still spectacular, she's not necessarily gonna be running 50.68. That took place after she was single mindedly focusing on hurdles for several years straight.
Bol and McLaughlin only ever ran TWICE directly against each other, once in 2021 at the OG in Tokyo and once in 2022 at the WC in Eugene. In those two races Bol (who started on the hurdles in 2019) had only 2 respectively 3 years of experience, versus McLaughlin 7 and 8 years of experience on the hurdles. And in 2023 Bol made a LOT of progress, while we don't know what McLaughlin was doing.
Paff! on your Mechanical AI voice.
Your video is just click-bait to gin up a rumble between two serious and classy athletes, rather than focus on healthy competition.
AND AFTER THE THIRD REPEAT I HAD TO RUN TO BARF IN THE TOILET!!!!
Why do you think the world record stood so many years before Sydney broke it?
Because it is an almost inhumane task to break it.!
Femke will have to add rocket boosters to her nikes if she hopes to do so.!
Its just not going to happen till she retires.!😅
You forget that Bol only started on the hurdles in 2019. In 2023, with only 4 years of experience Bol already ran a 51.45, which would have won Gold in Tokio. We will see what happens in Paris.
@@rientsdijkstra4266 Nice point, but it's actually meaningless until after They've Both passed their respective Prime track career's and the Final statistics/records are officially posted for History.
Femke Bol is the European Champion, uncontested by the American World Champion. Your bias is purely European. Wait until Paris . Your speculation is unwarranted. Femke has never beaten
Sydney. What’s Femke’s record against Abby Steiner and Athing Mu. More World Records??
You seem to be confused.. Bol is the current WORLD CHAMPION indoor 400 meter flat (about a month ago in Glasgow), AND Bol is also the current WORLD CHAMPION on the 400 meter Hurdles (last year in Budapest, remember?) The current Outdoor 400 m flat World Champion is Marileidy Paulinho, also since last year in Budapest.
And what do Steiner and Mu have to do with anything? They are good runners, but neither of their PB's come even close to Bol's, or McLaughlin's for that matter.
The last time they raced Sidney won by 1.5 seconds. Sydney is at her peak and will show up ready to break 50 seconds. And then she'll anchor the 4x400 to another gold.
IF SHE RUNS THE HURDLES, I'M LOOKING FOR THE. FIRST UNDER 50 FOR SYDNEY!!!
The last time they raced was in 2022. And Femke Bol only started on the hurdles in 2019. In 2022 she still had only 3 years of experience. But Bol has grown tremendously. While McLaughlin was at home.
As always, the proof of the pudding is actual competition, the two very top runners competing on the track.
This whole video to say… Femke is better, even though she hasn’t topped Sydney’s times. Stfu
McLaughlins times are from 2022... We will see what happens in Paris.
Wow ok...Yes Bol had a great 2023 but Sydney was out due injury & she didn't compete against or beat the best period. Sydney still runs a faster 400m & holds the hurdle record! Until she beats Sydney or her record we're going to hold off on your claims LOL. If anything I think Sydney may break 400m flat record. She came very close early 23 before her injury
Sydney still runs faster 400m??? Bol ran 3x World Record in just over a year. McLaughlin is not even close to doing that on the 400 flat
I love a good click bait title for views smh lol
Few steps behind Sydney*
❤❤❤
I feel like its cause Sydney McLaughlin is half black. Cause there is No Reason to hate this caliber of Athlete with 3 WR and Femke has 0. Femke herself wouldn't like this kind of fan boy
She certainly wouldn't like a person who says Kaczmarek is way faster than her
Stupid clickbait
IKYFL🤣🤣🤣🙌🏾
Bol gets flustered racing against Alexis Holmes outdoors 😅 Sydney will give the poor lady a heart attack 😆
😂Bro, Bol just had a MAJESTIC season, with 3 WR's and 2 World Championships (which she took with GREAT (mental) POWER after that mishap), and a few months ago she DESTROYED that same Holmes of yours 4x in a Row in direct confrontation in Schotland. Your comment shows the fear and jealousy of a small mind.
@rientsdijkstra4266 I'll give it to her shes great indoor but a head case outdoors. That would never have happen to Sydney either indoors or outdoors, there are levels to this 😆 🤣
@@ronester1that would never happen because McLaughlin prepares all year for one race, while Bol ran 7 races in that week in Budapest. Still 2 golds
@@francescostano4445 in an Olympic year every serious Athlete is preparing all year for one race, in a World Champs year same thing, what was your point 🤔
@@ronester1 She races 5 times per season so of course she doesn't have bad moments, if she would race 30 times per season like Bol she would have bad days too
Click bait
Sydney is BETTER Bol can’t do what Sydney has done
Bol ran 3x WR on the 400 flat last year, McLaughlin nowhere near to that.
Femke Bol is a hurdler...her training plan, programme, regime makes her superior when she races in other events...400 metre without hurdles and such...But never worry. Lieke Klaver is soon about to crush these advantage factors. Lieke has all it takes to become a super sprinter
Wrong again!!!! The Polish girl is waaay faster than Both Bol and Klaver. Merilady Paulino, Naser, Sydney and Miller Uibo is faster than her. Use track knowledge and not your emotions.
@@Joyce-zl4qd Kaczmarek faster than Bol? Lol you really know nothing about track
@@francescostano4445 This Joyce person is of her rocker. She probably means Kaczmarek, but the name is to difficult for her to type. However, there is NO 400 runner in Europe that can even come close to Bol, or even Klaver.
@@rientsdijkstra4266 there is no one in the world that can beat her, let alone Kaczmarek. I think Klaver and Kaczmarek are pretty much on the same level now
Neither will EVER catch Sydney.
Shady video
AI narrated videos suck.
Lose the AI.
hi warren from Australia there's one thing where I think femke can get a advantage over Sydney when she finishes her races she's all smiles and happy and laughing and putting her arms out where Sydney sits down on the track. Looks like she's stressing out severely instead of being happy. That's one thing where I think Femke will get over Sydney.
Sydney has never even been challenged by Bol😂
The Paris Olympics are 3 months away and McLaughlin hasn't shown up yet in either the 400 or 400H.
This is strange, to say the least
No it's not. Real track fans understand peaking. Sydney is in the 400m only and peaking too early in a 400 flat or 800m is sure fire Olympic disaster. You haven't seen Keely Hodgkinson or Athing Mu either have you???? These ladies are going for GOLD, not just Participation
Two people to look out for in the hurdles are Kennedy Smith and Mason Dossett❤
@@giffysstiffy8874giffytuck 100m hurdles.??? NO It's Jasmine Camacho Quinn Toby Amusan Nia Ali or Kenny Harrison
In the 400m it's Britton Wilson
Sydney is running the 400m H at the Los Angeles Grand Prix toward the end of May
😂The Olympics are in July? 😂
Okay Sydney is still running? Didn't hear from her a long time. While Femke run many times! There are more upcoming stars, who maybe surprise us. We shall see!
Sydney will be running the 400m H at the 2024 Los Angeles Grand Prix in May. We will get an indication of her fitness then.
She was injured
😂You really wish she were done.
Sorry, she is going to keep leaving Bol several meters back....as always.
She is far more talented and just way faster.
@@efisgpr And the idiotic robot is here again.... Spewing his mechanical nonsense as ever...
Maclaughlin hasn’t competed in 2024. She hasn’t run since late 2023. I would have to pick Bol because no one knows what Maclaughlin is doing.
Late 2022*
McLaughlin just ran the other day in the 4x100 finishing second to the Julian Alfred team at the Mt.Sac Relays in California on Sunday, 04/21/2024
McLaughlin is running the 400m H at the Los Angeles Grand Prix toward the end of May
Sydney will get another world record
In her dreams maybe
Easily! Bol, with her so-called 14 new steps will be so far behind, that she will feel more defeated than when Alexis Holmes chased her down and beat her in Budapest.🤣🤣🤣
I love femke bol
FEMKE IS THE BEST. DER NOW DOUBT. !!!!!!!!!!!!
How she only has 1 record which is a indoor record 😂😂 that no one cares about she’s never went 48 seconds but Sydney has !!! That white girl has never went 50 seconds in the 400h but Sydney HAS 😂
@@xavierbrown7335 Femke Bol ran 51.45 in London in 2023, only 4(!) years after starting on the hurdles. It took McLaughlin 7 years to produce the 51.46 in Tokio. And mrs McLaughlin has never even come close to her own WR. Her 2nd best time is 51.41. Which is 0.73 seconds above her own WR...
Better? She NEVER beat her! The Dutch and their chauvinism is really starting to exaggerate! At their last meeting she was 1.59 behind Sydney. We'll see if she does better in 3 months.
Bro, your knee jerk reflexes are becoming tiresome. They only ran against each other when Bol had only just started on the hurdles, and that "last meeting" of yours is now 1.5 years ago. Since then Bol has greatly improved and McLaughlin is not doing anything. So, indeed we will see in Paris (I hope). But I must admit that these fan video's are also very cringe.
@@rientsdijkstra4266 False! Bol ran against Sydney 2 years in a row and the distance was greater the second time! They are the same age, so when Femkeol progresses so does Sydney. You don't know enough to understand that?
@@virgilius7036 The FACTS are very simple: Bol started on the hurdles in 2019, so she had only 2 years in 2021 of experience (practically a novice) when she got Bronze in Tokio, which is WILD, and 3 years in 2022. That can not be false, simply because it is a hard mathematical fact! And if the distance was greater in 2022, that can easily have been the result of mrs McLaughlin running a once in a lifetime race... In other words that 50.68 at the WC in 2022 explains why the distance was bigger in 2022. However, that 50.68 was a one-off for mrs McLaughlin to (her seconds best time is 51.41). Still only one year later in 2023 with still only 4 years of experience, and only 5 or 6 months after switch to the 14 step stride (= hard, because you need to jump with both legs as leading leg) Bol ran a 51.45 in London, wich is the 3d time EVER by a woman, and FASTER than the 51.46 that got McLaughlin the Gold in Tokio. McLaughlin who already went to the OG in Rio in 2016 as a hurdler, so she must have been hurdling at least since 2015 or earlier. In other words, Bol took 4 years to get to the level th at McLaughlin got to in about 6 or more years... Now I have great respect (!) for McLaughlin, she is a fantastic athlete, and she still has that fabulous WR of 50.68. But over the last 1.5 she has not shown much, while Bol has been developing fast, both on the hurdles and the flat. Is Bol now better than McLaughlin? I dont know, and You don't know either, because NOBODY knows the current status of mrs McLaughlin. So I would advise you to just let it go for now. We will see who is the strongest and the fastest in the coming months!
ik heb respect voor je rients, dat je zo'n geduld hebt. om het iedere keer weer uit te leggen aan die gasten. ik denk dat je nog veel commentaar van hun gaat krijgen. ik vindt je analyse's altijd fijn om te lezen. want jij volgt het al n tijdje. ik zou niet zo'n geduld op kunnen brengen tegen hun.@@rientsdijkstra4266
