Sorry Americans.... FEMKE BOL will be winning the 400h final

this aged well

It aged like milk. This was the most predictable 1-2-3 in the entire olympics and somehow Gordon still got it wrong.

Met Bol a few weeks ago. Classy lady! Very happy for her. The Americans are just unreal. Bol would have won every Olympic final up until now. Syd and Bol will be battling it out for years to come. Exciting! The 400H is the most exciting race for both men and women!

I learned today that Femke only took up hurdles two years ago.

To run close to 51 as a novice with a time that would've been a WR before US trials is scary.

People have wondered whether she'll be the perennial bridesmaid as they're one year apart, but she can seriously challenge McLaughlin for the next decade.

Obviously you were clutching at straws and this was your strongest wish. Sorry for you. Your fondest wish did not come through.

Do you ever get a prediction right?

How did the 10,000 m final go for Mo?

How's it feel to say you heard it here first old man and be wrong again. What country you from? Whatever it is, USA kicked your butt!

Idk the history of this poster but clearly they're just picking the only obvious upset possible and hoping it happens to make them look smart. They're not technically an idiot lol. They know bol has a small chance to win and will likely medal so even if bol didn't win well she nearly broke 52 and medals. She did cruise through the rounds tbh I thought she had a good chance at silver. Saying she'd win is just an attempt to seem smart when she was the only one that had a shot to beat those two lol

I don't know that it was predictable. Dalilah had the lead going over the final hurdle. Had she had a more complete season, she may have had the necessary strength to hold off Sydney. Turns out she didn't, but I don't think the result was the most predictable by any measure.

And if Sydney had the lead at the final hurdle and Dalilah had run pass her, what then? The race is not over till it is over. The race ends at the end. Sydney stuck to her process. Her process was to run Dalilah down after the final hurdle. The process worked.

If the hurdles were 3 to 4 inches higher (as many think they should be), Bol would have won.

Hurdles are only 30 inches tall for the women, vs 36 for the men

Of the 3, Bol has the worst hurdle form and would likely suffer the most from higher hurdles.

How about if they were 6 feet higher and they added several water pits--then what?

CRUSHED the Diamond League final. Syd and Dalilah too scared to even show up to the starting line.

Femke WILL win Worlds next year. Bank on it.
