There may be faster or better runners but does she have as good a running form as any athlete?
Her form is incredibly deceptive. She makes running 49 seconds for 400 look easy and controlled. Super impressive. She almost looks like she's in jogging mode! Few are equal to this lady 💩
Sydney makes running 48 seconds for 400 look easy. Faster than Bol and smoother. Bol will look good getting second place once again.
Doping and form are not the same issue. Most top athletes are likely doping but some still have better form than others - as she does. El G had beautiful form but in all likelihood was doped, as most distance runners in the 90's would have been.
You think she is a doper?
Anyone at the top could be doping but that isn't the subject of the thread. Feel free to start another.

On the subject of running form, in the early 1970s it was reported that Steve Prefontaine had a VO2 max in the mid 80s, while Frank Shorter's was merely in the low 70s. I don't know if they were tested in the same lab or with comparable protocols. But the point was that Shorter was as fast as Pre over 10k owing to his more efficient running form. He was very smooth with little wasted motion, whereas Pre always looked like he was punching his way through the air in front of him. I imagine Pre expended the most energy, burned the most oxygen, in the Munich 5000m final, surging and dropping back and attacking again, while Viren just sat on the rail and controlled the last 800 from the front Mo Farah style.

Why did you use the poop emoji??
I'm guessing the poster meant "She's the sh*t!" or "She's the poo!", slang for "She's incredibly awesome!". Any other explanation would make little to no sense.
I've been following Femke Bol for a while now, and her form is just incredible. It's so smooth and efficient, almost effortless. I think it really sets her apart, even if there are runners with better times. Watching her race is like watching a masterclass in technique. Anyone else feel the same?
Which you are now doing. You can argue it if you like but I'm not interested in the context of a discussion about her running form.
You criticize something you have done hundreds of times before. For sure you are not interested in it, because you like her.
For you, Bol is a doper. Her performances are too good to be achived clean.
You can argue whatever you like. I can speak for myself and I'm not discussing whether she is a doper on a thread about her running form. But it appears you are more fixated on doping than I am. That's saying something.

For you, Bol is OS a doper. Koch also has had great running form. Not sure if you want to discuss it.
