Femke Bol offered a glimpse of her final outdoor session in anticipation of her 2025 track season. She achieved massive success in 2024, winning three medals at the Paris Games.

Bol started her year with a 400m short track meeting record at the 2024 Meeting Hauts-de-France Pas-de-Calais, posting the fourth-best result of all time. She then improved her 400m short track world record at the 2024 Dutch Indoor Athletics Championships, followed by breaking another record at the World Indoor Championships.

Bol took the 4x400m relay team to victory at the World Relays, securing a Paris Olympic spot. The Dutch then defended her 400m hurdles title at the European Championships, en route to the Paris Olympics. In the latter event, she faced her fiercest rival, Sydney McLaughlin-Levrone in the hurdles, finishing in bronze behind the latter's world record-breaking feat.

Bol earned her debut Olympic gold in the mixed 4x400m relay and silver in the 4x400m behind the US team. Boasting four Olympic laurels, the 24-year-old took to her Instagram to update about her last outdoor training session.
