Femke Bol broke one of the oldest records in track and field as she set a new world-best time on Sunday.
Bol, running in front of a home crowd at the Dutch Indoor Championships, beat Jarmila Kratochvílová’s world record of 49.59 seconds set in 1982. After making a strong start – hitting 23.63 at the 200 meter mark – Bol closed out the record to deafening noise in Apeldoorn. “It was because of all the fans here that I ran this record,” said the 22-year-old Olympic 400m hurdles bronze medalist. “Never have I ever seen that many people here.
“I was hoping to run the record, of course, but in life you hope for a lot of things and most of the time it does not happen,” said Bol via World Athletics. “I am glad that I did not just get the record, but that I improved it by a big margin.” It is an addition to an already very impressive CV for the young Dutchwoman.
