'Only a few more training sessions'- Femke Bol announces final face of 2024 just weeks after Paris Olympics triumph

World Champion Femke Bol is set to cap off one of the most remarkable seasons in her career with her final race at the Diamond League finals in Brussels on September 14, 2024.

The Dutch hurdler has been in exceptional form throughout the year, setting new benchmarks and collecting medals at major events, including a standout performance at the Paris Olympics.

Femke Bol’s season was a showcase of determination and skill, starting with her breaking the indoor 400m world record twice early in the year.

Femke Bol has skipped the Zurich Diamond League, a decision that has disappointed fans and impacted the event's competitive lineup.

Her prowess on the track continued as she clinched the gold medal at the World Athletics Indoor Championships.

The momentum carried her through to the Paris Olympics, where she added three medals to her growing collection, underlining her status as one of the elite athletes in the world.

«After the Olympics, where I gave it my all and left my heart on the track, it’s bittersweet to think that there are only a few more training sessions of this amazing season left,» Bol shared on her stories.

Her emotional connection to the season was palpable as she expressed both pride and disappointment in her performance at the Olympics, where she won bronze in the women’s 400m hurdles.

Noah Lyles and Junelle Bromfield enjoyed a dinner with Gabby Thomas after attending the US Open finals in New York.

Despite her dominance in earlier races, Bol was candid about the challenges she faced during the Olympic finals.

«It’s not the race and result I came for and that hurts. However, I’m proud of myself and my team for winning the second individual Olympic medal and for putting it all on the line to not have any regrets,» she noted.

The scene at the Paris Olympics was unforgettable for Bol, especially with the overwhelming support she received.

«The stadium that turned orange during the final night was truly magical. Thank you to everyone who was there that night; I felt so supported: before, during, and after the race,» she added.

Three years ago Usain Bolt advised Sha'Carri Richardson to focus and train hard a prophecy validated by her mixed results at the Paris Olympics.

Post-Olympics, Bol did notslow down, continuing her winning streak by clinching gold medals at the Lausanne and Silesia Diamond League meetings.

These victories not only added to her season’s laurels but also secured her spot in the highly anticipated finals in Brussels.

Anticipation builds among athletics enthusiasts eager to see her perform one last time this year, with the clock ticking down to Saturday at 21:52 local time when she will compete in the women’s 400m hurdles.
