This woman is from another planet, impressive, fantastic, unbeatable and I don't understand why she doesn't run the 400 flats, it would be brutal. My eternal admiration for Sydney Mclaughlin
Sydney is the GOAT and an absolute phenomenon in this event. Femke didn't run her best race today but still has a medal. Congrats to Cockerill for silver medal and new PB.
@@amblincork Not a failure. Bol knows that Mclaughlin is very hard to beat. So Bol changed here tactics and took the gambled to go fast from the start... but in the last half Bol crumbled down. Silver was possible, but Bol gambled for gold. Mclaughlin is still two steps ahead.
Race starts 3:18 This lady can break 50 seconds. Amazing form, concentration and a well-deserved gold medal! 🥇It's nice to see the joy on her face. She can finally relax.
Bol was crushed like a fly underfoot by the greatest female runner of all time, she was found to be too soft, too delicate, too inferior representing an inferior EU race. Mclaughlin belongs to the new master race, the race that is so superior that you EU's can only dream of our power, all hail the great American race.
@@crenshaw_white5888you guessed completely wrong because you lack knowledge. She expected Sydney to be stronger at the start. The issue was she got tired after 250m, which usually doesn’t happen so fast.
@@Klont123the reason is that she went the first 200 really fast to keep up with syd abd hit the wall really hard the last 100. Has she gone the first 200 at her own pace she wpuld ge the silver
Syndney Mclaughlin was untouchable, but you gotta feel for Bol. She completely messed up the the last 2/5 of her race and disunited herself mentally. Congrats to Cockerell though who beat her personal best to finish 2nd, nobody expected this.
@@jjc8401 Sydney was always expected to beat her mate, but that was a bad performance from Bol. She should of been a comfortable silver, but congrats to all the medalists they all absolutely deserve it
50,37 sec. world record. And she isn't even tired. I think Sydney could run another 100m with a very good speed. The new discipline for Sydney. 500m hurdles.
So sorry for Femke Bol. I don't think she could handle the pressure and the nerves got the better of her. But even if she would have been able to perform at her best, she wouldn't have won. Respect where it's due, SML is THE best there has ever been, and she will next get the 400m flat title and probably break the record there as well. Heck, if she felt like it, she would probably win the 200m...
As I've always say they are 2 UNICORN in track and field Sydney + Duplantis...Anytime they touch a major competition they after their own World Record...
@@matmul4850 actually, I don't think that's true. It might have exhausted her, but looking at the stats and facts, she would not have won (and I'm a fan of her and hoped that she would win). But, as she ran the mixed 4x400m, she IS an olympic gold medallist, and noone can take that away from her. So, I think it was the right decision.
@@BradleyCoopertestah such a bad thing people show passion for something theyve been working hard for their entire life. but youre probably a subhuman dog broski 😘
@@alialibaba1886 Another reason why the relays shouldn't start until the athletes have finished their individual events. That said Bol still wouldn't have won. That was a superb world record.
I think this is a cheap theory. She ran 4 times in a week and only 2 of those her full intensity was needed. Femke didn't run the 1st heat on the Mixed relay. She cruised on the 400 H 1st heat and semi-finals. Her poor performance is (I think) due to feeling the pressure of the moment and not executing well the last hurdles. In the end, she would probably still be silver, but at least a bit closer to Sydney. An underrated aspect of this Olympics that I don't see talked about too much is that for many, this is the 1st Olympics with a fully packed stadium. It is much easier to be an Olympic Medalist with an empty Stadium.

I think we got even more than we expected! This WR by Sydney is crazy 50.37s!!! 😍 Well, yes for Femke this race was disappointing. She was ready for more. But perhaps she was a little too fast at the beginnning and couldn't hold her pace till the end. Yes, bronze was not what Femke expected and I'm very sure she hoped to be much closer to Sydney. But watching Sydney how easy it looked I'm quite sure we will see Sysney beating this 50s barrier one day! 😇

Congratulations to Sydney! From a dutchie 🤗🇳🇱 I really love the American mentality! When it counts: deliver! Femke had a lot of pressure at her back, but this was a total non-race from her. Very disappointing result in the end! Bol is still amazing, but a bronze medal with this average time is a huge defeat to her confidence
Like your race she was too weak, to soft , too defeatist and to inferior. The new superpower of the USA is the new master race, the superior race with the power you EU's can only dream of. We have dominated these games Hahaha.
Insane pace from start to finish, this woman is relentless. To put it in perspective, 50.37s would have been the 9th best time in the vanilla 400m SFs and almost enough to put her in the Final. Just imagine that, only 8 women in the world would not be humiliated in a race where Sydney runs with hurdles and the opponent does not.
the comment section talking more about Femke than the amazing world record from Mclaughlin. It's crazy how so many people are obsessed with Bol while Mclaughlin is just the better athlete.
Yes, there's more comments about Femke- many of them diminishing her, "obsessed" isn't always a good thing. Sydney did fabulous, she's an amazing athlete and deserved that gold 100%.
Femke is more popular that's all. It's not an obsession. Part of that is she competes more often. It's hard for people to warm to Sydney when they only see her compete a few times a year.
My assessment of this race. Sydney did not get flustered by Bol's presence. She was confident in her own abilities and was laser focused on herself. She had one goal: to better her own record. While Bol on the other hand although a strong contender for Sydney crumbled under the expectations and pressure. If you look at her body language before the race, she was a little flustered. And during the race once Sydney went past her, she panicked and was focused on Sydney rather than her own form. Bol is so much better than this and she knows this. Hence the disappointment in her face, which ultimately led to her breakdown.
@@jjc8401 I don't think the 400 m relay had any effect on Bol. She is used to running both the relays and individual event. Moreover, the relay took place 3 days ago which means ample recovery time. It's just that the pressure of the situation got the better of Bol.
@@ragas2845 just because she is used to it doesnty mean there is zero effect. she got twice the milage on her legs than sidney in a week time, ofc its gonna have effect even when she's used to it. to bad she is forced to do the relay.
@@kostapapa1989 No, I don't think Sydney would do that. She is a natural talent and true to herself. She is one of the few American athletes i support and follow. Usually American athletes are so full of themselves and very arrogant. But that's not the case with Sydney. She is a class apart. Very humble and down to earth person. Respects her opponent and does her running do the talking. And the fact that she praises the lord. She has won it all and yet remains rooted. Humility is something we all need to learn from this fantastic athlete. I'm not even an American but I'm from India who is a big fan of Sydney. I always cheer for her.

@@OedipusSimplex Sydney was for sure the favourite, but a lot can happen. I wouldn't refer to '21 and '22 since that was long ago and Sydney got injured in the meantime. Would rather refer to her world record in June which showed that she's still on top of her game. Two weeks later Bol ran her own pb though which was only .3 slower. Sydney was the favourite, but it wasn't a sure given. Every Olympic many favourites do not win.
@@PMaurits Femke's PB is fake. She ran it at 998m altitude. She is *NOT* a sub 51 sec runner at sea level. Of course I would refer to '21 and '22 when the gap got bigger. Sydney's injury was minor. Before that she was running fast 400m flat times. How exactly was Femke going to beat Sydney? If it wasn't a sure given, why give to Femke?
@@davidrele LOL she is mixedrace not black and no one is black. Afro americans are brown in skintones not ''black''. Lets leave the old western colonial terms ...thank you.
It wasn't, but if Famke wouldn't have done all those other races, I'm sure she would have been more recovered and have ran a better time. Maby silver if she only did this race
Sidney McLaughlin é una fuoriclasse di primissimo livello come lo erano Usain Bolt e Michael Johnson, inarrivabili per chiunque persino per i loro più forti connazionali. Femke Bol ha fatto quello che poteva ma il divario fisiologico é troppo grande anche per lei che comunque, come unica atleta europea e di etnia caucasica, é riuscita a inserirsi nella tripletta delle potenti statunitensi. L'eccezionalità atletica della Bol non ne viene sminuita e fa benissimo ad impegnarsi nelle staffette dove può esprimere al meglio il suo potenziale. Se si concentrasse solo sui 400 ostacoli potrebbe ambire al massimo alla medaglia d'argento e il suo prestigio calerebbe sensibilmente.
Femke did race the 400m mixed and won gold for the team. That was a mistake. even without it, its likely not to be enough as sydney was gonna do a record here. Its hard when your really good but facing another phenomena
@@hvdam1959 I guess he means that Femke was probably tired from all those races that did lately , and especially from the mixed race that had to pass like 2 - 3 athletes at the end.
I think a fascinating question would be how the race would have looked if their lanes were reversed. I think SML would have gone out much harder to make sure she put pressure on her at the beginning. As it was she just had to stay close enough to know she could close the stagger on the second curve and pull away. I actually am a Bol fan but I knew any talk of her winning was delusional. SML is one of those athletes you see maybe 2 or 3 times in your life. She beat the Olympic Champion in the 200m a few months ago and there is no question she would smoke the field in the open 400. Honestly Bol and SML would be the top 2 in that race as well (with SML on top). Bol was not upset because she lost. I think she would have been OK if she came in second close to her personal best. I honestly thought Bol was in trouble in the semis. Cockerell was just a little too close and made her work to finish first.
Push how? Sydney always runs against her records. Femke has never even raced close to her. 2021: Sydney beat Femke by 0.57s at Tokyo Olympics 2022: Sydney beat Femke by 1.50s at Eugene World Championships 2024: Sydney beat Femke by 1.80s at Paris Olympics
@@OedipusSimplex Her record is 50,95 from this summer. If she had a perfect race she could’ve done better than that and there could have been tighter battle on the finish line. No need to be offended.

Femke Bol committed the sin of wanting to immediately follow Sydney McLaughlin, keeping a pace that was too fast for her and going out of revs on the finish line, she paid for her desire to put pressure on Sydney McLaughlin who is unbeatable. Sydney McLaughlin the real phenomenon of these Olympics.
2021: Sydney beat Femke by 0.57s at Tokyo Olympics 2022: Sydney beat Femke by 1.50s at Eugene World Championships 2024: Sydney beat Femke by 1.80s at Paris Olympics
Throughout the Olympic commentary re: Women’s 400m hurdles, it has been about Femke Bol. They had already given her the Gold medal. Sydney is an exceptional athlete and runs without media hype(she just is). Femke is a World Champion and record holder (indoors) however the biased commentary was biased and annoying (Steve Cram UK commentary amongst others).
The coach of Femke Bol had said before the race that he expected a winning time in the low 50's, or possibly even sub 50. He told Femke Bol that if she wanted to have any chance of winning, she needed to start faster than she had ever done before and then hope for the best :). Alternatively, she could also play it safe, run her own race and go for an almost certain 2nd place. Bol might however also been a bit overconfident about her chances to beat McLaughlin because of her recent sub 51 race and ofcourse her incredibly fast 400m leg a few days ago. I do however still think it was a courageous decision to go all in with the risk of giving up a almost certain silver medal. Nevertheless, amazing performance from the Queen of the 400m hurdles Sydney McLaughlin as well as number two Anna Cockrell !
In my opinion, that is very poor coaching advice. Your job as a coach is to create a personalized strategy for your athlete, taking into account her strengths and weaknesses, while also creating scenarios to make your athlete capable of dealing with risk factors during the race. I know that Femke has been working on her first 200 meters for quite some time now, but to suddenly tell her to run her fastest 200 meters because that’s the only way she can beat an opponent is like saying, ‘Forget what we’ve been training for over almost three years and just go follow Sydney.’ That’s very stupid
Congratulations Femke on winning the bronze medal. You may not have won the gold medal but you surely won our hearts with your golden personality. You are naturally the best!

Too bad for Bol, but the Dutch are good in braging big talk before the race instead of after the race……besides that the winner in this race is untouchable…..
@@woodpeckerer if Femke Bol would have performed as she can McLaughlin still is the superior runner. There is no doubt she is something special in a historical perspective. There is absolutely no pain in her winning. The greatest are there to be admired not to be hated. I just despise that exaggerated outgoing behavior with a crown. Last EURO’S, Memphis Depay our main striker started to wear a sweatband urban style like a basketballer. The whole nation wanted Koeman to bench him. We are just not the people who appreciate bragging or showing off. It could be cultural because I see a lot of Americans appreciating this.
We all have our favorites, but at the end they are all great athletes and it is a privilege to watch them compete! Ssme goes for all greats in history of sports.
Perfect. Amazing. Prouding. But i'm sad Femke wasn't looking well before the race. She could've been the second although the other American had a superior physique
This woman is from another planet, impressive, fantastic, unbeatable and I don't understand why she doesn't run the 400 flats, it would be brutal. My eternal admiration for Sydney Mclaughlin

Femke's PB is fake.
She ran it at 998m altitude.
She is *NOT* a sub 51 sec runner at sea level.
Of course I would refer to '21 and '22 when the gap got bigger. Sydney's injury was minor. Before that she was running fast 400m flat times.
How exactly was Femke going to beat Sydney? If it wasn't a sure given, why give to Femke?
fenomenal oraganisation and prestation
Sydney is the Usain Bolt of 400mH. I don't know how people thought she would lose gold. Sydney has been playing with the WR for a while.
Dude she broke the world record when qualifying these Olympics in June.
Many congratulations to you MS.Sydney 🤝👏🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Woww what a race!! Sydney McLaughlin is a beast!! Shattering her own world record .35 of a second!! 🎉
There are levels. That's all I can say.
True and s Sydney Mclaughlin is that upper elite level
Black girl magic!
@@davidrele LOL she is mixedrace not black and no one is black. Afro americans are brown in skintones not ''black''. Lets leave the old western colonial terms ...thank you.
Bol went to quick away she said, she was very motivated, still a good try, very sportive .
Woow, she is from another world!
Sydney is the greatest of all time
This was the champ just showing that she is her own and only rival❤
Beast Mode on
Yes, heel blij, Sydney The GOAT!

Bol
Lost having used her energies winning the 400m mixed relay the day before
It wasn’t a rivalry after all. 🤦♀️
It wasn't, but if Famke wouldn't have done all those other races, I'm sure she would have been more recovered and have ran a better time. Maby silver if she only did this race
Never was.
White folks wanted it to be a rivalry because they like their little white girl but she was never in the convo
Sydney's shows who is the best 🥇
Reality check for Femke, Sydney is a beast (best)😄
Unbeliavable!! She is just unbeliavable!!
Unbeliavable indeed!
Sidney McLaughlin é una fuoriclasse di primissimo livello come lo erano Usain Bolt e Michael Johnson, inarrivabili per chiunque persino per i loro più forti connazionali. Femke Bol ha fatto quello che poteva ma il divario fisiologico é troppo grande anche per lei che comunque, come unica atleta europea e di etnia caucasica, é riuscita a inserirsi nella tripletta delle potenti statunitensi. L'eccezionalità atletica della Bol non ne viene sminuita e fa benissimo ad impegnarsi nelle staffette dove può esprimere al meglio il suo potenziale.
Se si concentrasse solo sui 400 ostacoli potrebbe ambire al massimo alla medaglia d'argento e il suo prestigio calerebbe sensibilmente.
GOAT!!!!! 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Unlucky Femke Bol didnt have the legs today to challenge Sydney
Femke did race the 400m mixed and won gold for the team.
That was a mistake.
even without it, its likely not to be enough as sydney was gonna do a record here.
Its hard when your really good but facing another phenomena
Why is winning the gold for the Netherlands in the Mixxed relay a mistake??
@@hvdam1959 I guess he means that Femke was probably tired from all those races that did lately , and especially from the mixed race that had to pass like 2 - 3 athletes at the end.
What race were the announcers expecting?
A white hope race.
I'm so sorry for Femke Bol.
why?
@@v0jt48 She messed up. Tbs, she would have never won today.
didnt deserve it..nowhere near it - at all
She looks like a wimp, not an athlete!
@@v0jt48 Because she clearly wasn't feeling well and wasn't able to run as she normally does. She is likeable and very talented.
Discovery + and Warner brothers are the death of the olympic spirit.
It's a lot of pressure having Sydney breathing on your neck. Femke Bolt couldn't handle it.
there's no competition for Sydney only herself and the records she's just build different
I think a fascinating question would be how the race would have looked if their lanes were reversed. I think SML would have gone out much harder to make sure she put pressure on her at the beginning. As it was she just had to stay close enough to know she could close the stagger on the second curve and pull away. I actually am a Bol fan but I knew any talk of her winning was delusional. SML is one of those athletes you see maybe 2 or 3 times in your life. She beat the Olympic Champion in the 200m a few months ago and there is no question she would smoke the field in the open 400. Honestly Bol and SML would be the top 2 in that race as well (with SML on top). Bol was not upset because she lost. I think she would have been OK if she came in second close to her personal best. I honestly thought Bol was in trouble in the semis. Cockerell was just a little too close and made her work to finish first.
Congratulations! ❤🎉
We love you Femke Bol
we would’ve needed Femke to be at her best to push Sydney sub 50.
@@abzoluut4084 Just to clarify: we would've means something that needed to happen but didn't...
@@abzoluut4084bro read again what did he say
Push how?
Sydney always runs against her records. Femke has never even raced close to her.

@@OedipusSimplex Her record is 50,95 from this summer. If she had a perfect race she could’ve done better than that and there could have been tighter battle on the finish line. No need to be offended.
every step over 2,5m long that's a real horse kick
Wel heel erg jammer maar we houden van je femke bol volgende keer beter ❤ let today behind and focus for tomorrow ❤
She’s still on the podium! So she doesn’t come away empty handed. Still a great achievement. Bol will grow and go ahead! Succes meid!

Cope.
Femke Bol committed the sin of wanting to immediately follow Sydney McLaughlin, keeping a pace that was too fast for her and going out of revs on the finish line, she paid for her desire to put pressure on Sydney McLaughlin who is unbeatable. Sydney McLaughlin the real phenomenon of these Olympics.
Beautiful race of Mclaughlin, but as a Dutch person this of course hurts a bit.

USA is the best country with the best athletes. Gold ans Silver, go USA!!!
Throughout the Olympic commentary re: Women’s 400m hurdles, it has been about Femke Bol. They had already given her the Gold medal. Sydney is an exceptional athlete and runs without media hype(she just is). Femke is a World Champion and record holder (indoors) however the biased commentary was biased and annoying (Steve Cram UK commentary amongst others).
Mclaughlin doped up like Flojo.
The coach of Femke Bol had said before the race that he expected a winning time in the low 50's, or possibly even sub 50. He told Femke Bol that if she wanted to have any chance of winning, she needed to start faster than she had ever done before and then hope for the best :). Alternatively, she could also play it safe, run her own race and go for an almost certain 2nd place. Bol might however also been a bit overconfident about her chances to beat McLaughlin because of her recent sub 51 race and ofcourse her incredibly fast 400m leg a few days ago. I do however still think it was a courageous decision to go all in with the risk of giving up a almost certain silver medal.
Nevertheless, amazing performance from the Queen of the 400m hurdles Sydney McLaughlin as well as number two Anna Cockrell !
In my opinion, that is very poor coaching advice. Your job as a coach is to create a personalized strategy for your athlete, taking into account her strengths and weaknesses, while also creating scenarios to make your athlete capable of dealing with risk factors during the race. I know that Femke has been working on her first 200 meters for quite some time now, but to suddenly tell her to run her fastest 200 meters because that’s the only way she can beat an opponent is like saying, ‘Forget what we’ve been training for over almost three years and just go follow Sydney.’ That’s very stupid
Very impressive !
BOL❤❤❤
Fantastic!!! 💪💪💪
I forget one thing. Without hurdles, we would have seen new WR in 400 metres.
Then we must hope that they will both do the 400 m flat in the future.
Congratulations Femke on winning the bronze medal. You may not have won the gold medal but you surely won our hearts with your golden personality. You are naturally the best!
SML should have been on the mixed relay team…
Good highlights!
They have raced 3 times until now, and sydney has broken the wr in every of these races. I cant even imagine what she is gonna do in the next years
Work on her arrogant attitude perhaps

Not really a aerodynamic haircut 😅 thought Femke would do better, lactic hit her hard.
Sydney and Anna amazing and great runners. Next level.
As Femke fan i hope she will still do well in the future.
Feel so bad for Bol - all that pressure got to her I think - she looks clearly flustered on the start line.

Too bad for Bol, but the Dutch are good in braging big talk before the race instead of after the race……besides that the winner in this race is untouchable…..
bol shouldve ran her normal race (would still not be gold but okay) with the comeback at the end to get the silver
Brilliant
From another planet 😅
McLaughlin the golden medal, Femke Bol the golden personality. 🧡
Sudney is shining! She is a Jesus follower and God’s grace is upon her.
Honestly they both have golden personalities in my opinion, although of course I wish Bol didn't underperform to that degree
@@woodpeckerer if Femke Bol would have performed as she can McLaughlin still is the superior runner. There is no doubt she is something special in a historical perspective.
There is absolutely no pain in her winning. The greatest are there to be admired not to be hated. I just despise that exaggerated outgoing behavior with a crown.
Last EURO’S, Memphis Depay our main striker started to wear a sweatband urban style like a basketballer. The whole nation wanted Koeman to bench him.
We are just not the people who appreciate bragging or showing off. It could be cultural because I see a lot of Americans appreciating this.
Femke the gallant loser Hahaha. Mclaughlin the GOAT pal.
@@user-wf5lh8ug9d thats makes her worse tbh... religion is for the nutjobs
God bless you.
Several of these women can go a lot faster if they would pay notice to airodynamics
Dude I was thinking the same when I saw hair flyeing!
Many are happy that Sydney won and many are happy that Noah lost. It’s not USA that people like or dislike. Think about it. We all love Bol too. ❤❤❤
We all have our favorites, but at the end they are all great athletes and it is a privilege to watch them compete! Ssme goes for all greats in history of sports.
@@sasavincetic4249 I don’t disagree with you ❤️
I personally have nothing against Bol, but the Orange Turds...they are the problem.
I don’t like Bol; she’s a sore loser and a crybaby.
That record got smashed beyond any reason...
Perfect. Amazing. Prouding. But i'm sad Femke wasn't looking well before the race. She could've been the second although the other American had a superior physique
