[@anthonymensingh1989]

[@fkvdmark]

[@anthonymensingh1989]

What await it was worth waiting for let's hope we don't have to wait so long hopefully femke Bol can win our next gold medal in the not so distant future love Anthony Fed ex lol

[@orange4755]

​@anthonymensingh1989 well, she did win it for you. Nice one

[@anthonymensingh1989]

I'm so proud of Ellen van langen I'm from Dutch descent and people said she was on drugs that's disrespectful just sour grapes in my opinion love Anthony Fed ex lol

[@davidderuiter726]

Her personal coach is very anti dope and he has rejected so many athletes based on the fact they would be on drugs. Even rejected Kournikova bcz she was to busy with partying.

[@FridayWeekend]

Lilia Nurutdinova, was looking up so much at the final meters that I think she looked so surprised when she saw Ellen de Lange in front of her crossing the finish line first.😲

[@simonedwards5564]

Pissed. SERIOUSLY PISSED OF,,,,!!!!!!!

[@saskiavanhoutert6081]

Ellen van Langen, first, great achievement, kind regards.

[@johmcg64]

[@anthonymensingh1989]

[@植民地-o3f]

Nurutdinova made two mistakes in this race. Nurutdinova's first mistake was too fast on the first lap. Nurutdinova's second mistake was opening the inside in the final 100m.
This is what Nurutdinova lost to Ellen van Langen.

[@arnoldbissen9921]

And she's not from Amsterdam... (not even close..)

[@mikenealon4042]

van langen = dave wottle?

[@paulwhite2533]

van Langen looks like she's on spice!

[@Dynamics416]

[@ServingUptheT]

She has a similar jaw line to another flying Dutch woman, swimmer Inge be Bruijin.......not sure could be a common cause?

[@chukwuebukanwaneri1435]

Lol

[@kurtfrancis4621]

@@ServingUptheT Libelous if you are asserting that.

[@FlabbyTitmuss]

@@kurtfrancis4621 It would be libelous if it wasn't true. To be honest though, I think he's right on the money.
