Femke Bol on breaking the 50-second barrier in the 400m hurdles

Femke Bol broke the 50s barrier in the 400m hurdles at the 2024 Resisprint International in July by clocking her best, 50.95s. Following this achievement, she shared her feelings about securing this in an interview with Athletics Weekly (1:36 onwards):

"I didn't think the 50 barrier was possible a few years ago. So, I think we're [she and Sydney McLaughlin-Levrone] just running faster, faster, and faster and I mean it would be crazy if one day one of us or someone else can break the 50 barrier. I'll just focus on my race and see where it brings us but it will be cool if one day it is possible."

The Dutch athlete has had an incredible career in the sport, as she is currently the European record holder in the 400m hurdles. Only Bol and the American Olympic champion, Sydney McLaughlin-Levrone, are the athletes to record under 50s.
