Femke Bol is Better than Sydney McLaughlin | The Olympics 2024 Prediction

With the 2024 Olympic Games in Paris just a few months away, the anticipation for an epic showdown over the women’s 400-meter and 400-meter hurdles is at the top of the roof. The track community is already prepared to watch what appears to be the biggest clash in the world of track field. And that clash guys is between the Dutch sensation, Femke Bol and America’s renowned queen of hurdles Sydney McLaughlin-Levrone. Of course, if you’ve been following track and field events lately, you already know these two seem to be equal contenders over the 400-meter and 400-meter hurdles. They’ve both been dropping down impressive performance, and it’s almost impossible to tell who among them stands strong. But guys, Femke Bol has just sent a strong message to McLaughlin-Levrone, proving that she is not the kind to be taken for granted.

As a Dutchman and as a supporter of Femke Bol I really don't like this kind of video. Femke Bol had a great season in 2023, and also the first months of 2024 and it is clearly Bol who has the momentum right now, and it is up to McLaughlin to show where she stands after 1.5 year of absence. But ms Bol is also a very humble and down to earth person, and she has great respect (!) for Sydney McLaughlin, as she has said several times. This kind of pumped up video with Swolen AI voice is completely NOT her style.

Either you are click baiting or have no perspective on athletics, while femke has had a wonderful year so far and ran some fantastic times and without doubt the best active runner in the world 400 hurdles/ flat, Sydney has all the achievements that defines a generational icon: Olympic champion, world champion and multiple times world record holder by a long way from the previous mark. Even femke would be mindful not to be as bold as your headlines because she is also respectful and classy

[Dgram]

Break Sydney’s record then you will be the best

[lasvegas]

I keep hoping someone can put together a fact based video that is based In reality and I keep getting disappointed. The reference to Femke destroying Sydney's ego had me laughing.

[U.R.NeelyIII-xorx]

This is a terrible Head Line. Stop this stupid stuff!! They are both supreme athletes give them the respect they have both earned!!

[redrust]

Sydney is only seven MONTHS older than Femke. About the same age. They have at LEAST TWO MORE OLYMPICS before they succumb to age. Looking ahead to 2028 AND 2032

I think that Dexter Gordon-dr8qd is saying that Femke, Sydney and Abbey are all great athletes and there is no place for lowly spectators including both armchair and professional runners to give nationalistic or personal preferences. They’re all great to watch in races. I am grateful to see them run. The race decides who is better not commentators of for that matter the 3 women themselves. The race measured in split seconds decides the winner. Many people have opinions to say the obvious in a polite way.

Je crois que Femke et Lieke vont faire du ménage aux JO de Paris, en athlétisme.

[liberty]

They're both great athletes and the only way to determine who is better is in a head-to-head duel. The interest is high, of course, since Femke has been improving while Sydney has been out with injury. But Sydney and her team are very calculating and I'm quite sure she will be at her best when the Olympics rolls around.

[keithakui]

The top race of the upcoming Olympics in Paris, hands down! No other race in any Olympic sport will match this race!

[warrenmoseley-holmes]

You can take this video down now. There is no competition. Don’t question Sydney again!!!

[robertbailey]

Well you was not only wrong, but was dead WRONG!!! SML Broke her world record for six time and poor Bol finished third while Anna Cocktell took the silver!!! TEAM USA just blowed out the entire field with a SML ran a blistering second leg with a time of 47.17 split

[KHallesy]

Sydney is my favorite runner. Bol is amazing. I am rooting for Sydney but will not be disappointed if Bol wins. I would really like to see them go 1 2 at the Olympics but we do not know what other countries will have!

[scottellis]

It's simple arithmetic, you are better when you run faster. Thank you Track and Field for making it so easy.

[markuse]

Don't get too far ahead of yourself there. YOU simply don't know, NO ONE knows who will win which ever race.
Men or women's, no matter the event.

[Visionary]

Femke Bol is better at exactly WHAT, than Sydney McLaughlin? Being tall? Who has the better PR at the 400 meter hurdles, at the outdoor 400 meters, and even at the outdoor 200 meters. There is only ONE outdoor hurdle World Record holder and Olympic champion in this conversation.

[rientsdijkstra]

For those who go on about their ages. Much more relevant is their years of experience. Bol started only in 2019 on the hurdles. So in at the Olympic Games in 2021 Bol had only 2 (!) years of experience, versus McLaughlin who went already went to the OG in Rio in 2016, so she had at least 6 or 7 years of experience (because that means that she must have started at least in 2014 or 2015). Still, with her 2 years of experience Bol got Bronze in Tokio. That is WILD.. And in 2023, only 4 years after having started on the hurdles, and a few months after making the switch to a 14 step stride, Bol already ran a 51.45 in London, the 3d fastest time ever, which would have given her Gold at the OG in Tokio.

[ycqrwwr]

Bol has a much larger body of work, however; I don't think she will ever go around Sydney in the final 100m. She will need to be ahead and hold on to the lead.

[wazaryan]

Hi warren from Australia I can't wait for this clash. I'm hoping they both do the double that would be something else.

[michaellayman]

I just don’t see McLaughlin getting beat at the Olympics. I would like to see Bol give her a scare.
