She looked controlled and easy with that 500M WR. She is a threat to win a 400 flat, 400H, and maybe an 800M, I am sure Sydney, Athing and Keeley took notice.
I agree with you about the 800m. He looks to be perfect for this distance and it is not unusual that 400m hurdlers go up to 800m. Even 200m runners have ended up in the 800m.
Ellen van Langen once said that Femke Bol could beat her longstanding Dutch national record of 1:55:54.
Bol's splits (from one of her coaches, Bram Peters):
12.75/ 24.88/ 37.69/ 51.41/ 65.63
The plan was for her to hit 400m in 51.8 or under.
Some comments:
I too would be intrigued to see her run a 600m. She looked to be comfortable in that last 100m.
With SMU pregnant, she should review where she and her main competitors are at next summer; it may well be the 400m flat is her better chance of gold. Or it may still be the hurdles.
Her 300m split here was faster than Jenna Prandini's 300m and she would have only finished a couple of strides behind Thomas in that race. Off her 500m pace. Crazy.
My buddy said she sounds like Elmo and I can’t unhear that.
Some of you are still talking about her voice? Are you not able to deduce that her post-race voice in the interview is not how her voice would normally sound and it is a result of exertion? Someone posted an interview with Bol earlier in the thread. Skip ahead to about 5:10ish. I posted it again here. Skip ahead to about 5:10, That is her real voice.
Some people here must really have miserable lives if they are always finding something to bag on others about. More than likely in their own lives the glass is always half empty rather than half full.
