Femke Bol confirms participation at European Indoor Championships despite skipping indoor season

Femke Bol had a fantastic season in 2024. Starting with the indoor events, she was crowned champion in the 400m and the 4x400m relay at the Glasgow World Indoor Championships. She followed this up with a gold medal finish in the 4x400m mixed relay at the Paris Olympics, a silver in the 4x400m relay, and a bronze in the 400m hurdles at the Games.

In 2025, Bol announced that she would skip the indoor season for the year, but confirmed that she would participate at the European Indoor Championships being held on home ground, competing in the relay events. Taking to Instagram, she wrote:

“I have decided to not race individually this indoor season. It gives me the opportunity to have some more time processing everything that has happened and prioritize more things outside of the sports that are important to me.”

“However, I cannot and do not want to miss a chance to compete at a home championship!!! So I will be racing in Apeldoorn at the European Indoor Championships in the relays and lucky enough it's the first time there's also a mixed relay! I am looking forward to what this year will bring me and I want to thank you all for the support. See you in Apeldoorn!” she added.

Femke Bol and her teammates will head into the European Indoor Championships as the defending champions in the 4x400m relay, having won the event in 2021 and 2023.
