Say what? Inspire Syd to do what? Syd is Olympic Champion, World Champion and WR holder. Underlings cannot inspire someone already great. Looks to me Bol is being inspired by Syd.
You are welcome.
to be a champion in another event. stop talking, just do it.
Why don't we compare 4 x 400m splits from the World Championships?
Bol, 49.38
McLaughlin, 47.91
You're welcome.
You've omitted the mixed 4*4 that Bol contested before either the 400m hurdles or 4*4 finals. McLaughlin's still comes out ahead, but your comparison is faulty.
OTOH, Femke ran a fast split in that race hawking other women down and actually racing, whereas Sydney wasn't even in anyone's vicinity and basically time-trialled that 47.9 split.
Netherland versus Poland 4*400m ought to be great based on this race.
In theory Poland should easily win, placing 2, 3, 8 and another semifinalist (plus a backup 51s runner) in the 400, vs the Netherlands placing 1, 6, one semifinalist plus a 52 second runner. The question really is how much Femke Bol can make up on Kaczmarek in the last leg.
Another example of how 400 splits are indeed meaningful. Femke clocked a couple of high 48 splits, which equates to a mid 49 open 400, and yep that's what she ran. Great stuff, but Femke is not alone in being at that level -- Britany Wilson and Steiner split similarly earlier this year, and could go toe-to-toe with her. It really is amazing how few of the world's best 400 open runners actually run the open 400.
How many times do I have to tell you guys, it’s because for fast people, the 400 SUCKS.
Sure they can run it, and do so when pressed, when the money is good, or when they don’t have the option to do another event—but they never do it entirely by choice.
These are not the 400’s of distance athletes. 400 repeats, lolololololol😂😂😂😂

Why should she be champion in another event? Are you asking Mondo to be champion in the javelin or hurdles? How about asking Crouser to be champion in the discus?
When Sydney is ready she will become the champion at 200M, 800M,1500M,3000M and the Marathon.
