Femke Bol Improves Her 400-meter Indoor World Record At Netherlands Championships – News18

APELDOORN, Netherlands: Femke Bol broke her 400-meter indoor world report on Sunday on the Netherlands’ nationwide championships, ending in 49.24 seconds to shave two-hundredths of a second off the report she set a 12 months in the past.

Bol, the 400-meter hurdles world champion, set the brand new report lower than two weeks earlier than the World Indoor Athletic Championships open within the Scottish metropolis of Glasgow.

“It’s a dream come true to run another world record and it’s wonderful to have all these Dutch fans enjoying the most beautiful sport in the world,” Bol stated in her trackside interview.

She bettered her personal report from a 12 months in the past that itself broke a 40-12 months-previous report of 49.59 set by Jarmila Kratochvilova on March 7, 1982.

Lieke Klaver completed second Sunday behind Bol in 50.10 on the Omnisport stadium in Apeldoorn and Cathelijn Peeters was third in 52.08.
