Despite a hectic schedule at the Paris Olympics, which included the women's 400m hurdles, mixed 4x400m relay, and the women's 4x400m relay, Femke Bol made back-to-back appearances in the Diamond Leagues.

Femke Bol concluded her Paris Olympics campaign with three medals- one gold, one silver, and one bronze. While the Dutch athlete could not put forward her best performance in her pet event - the 400m hurdles and expressed her disappointment, but expressed her gratitude for the opportunity to perform on such a big stage.

Taking to Instagram to express her thoughts about her Paris Olympics campaign, she wrote,

"Gave it my all, left my heart on the track. It’s not the race and result I came for and that hurts. However I’m proud of myself and my team for winning the second individual Olympic medal and for putting it all on the line to not have any regrets," she wrote.

She thanked her fans for their unwavering support throughout the Olympics.

"The stadium that turned orange during the final night was truly magical. Thank you to everyone who was there that night I felt soooo supported: before, during and after the race 🧡 And thank you to the amazing team of people I’m surrounded with, couldn’t do it without all of you ♥️," Bol added.

Despite a marginal setback in the women's 400m hurdles, the Paris Olympics was the most successful Olympic campaign in the career of the 24-year-old Dutch athlete so far.
