Femke Bol and Sydney McLaughlin-Levrone are one of the top competitors for the Olympic title. After Bol's world record performance at the World Indoor Championships in Glasgow, there have been many discussions among fans about the upcoming 400m hurdles champion at the highly anticipated Paris Olympic games.

The two athletes went head to head at the Tokyo Olympics where Sydney McLaughlin-Levrone won the title and Bol took home the bronze medal. Over the years Bol has improved her performance tremendously, chasing the world record multiple times over the last two years.

This brings great excitement among fans who are eager to witness a staunch rivalry once again in the highly competitive 400m hurdles. After the World Indoors, when asked about the American, Bol had a very optimistic response.

"It's always amazing to race with Sydney McLaughlin-Levrone because she is the best-ever in hurdles," she said.

Sydney McLaughlin-Levrone has not yet started her 2024 season as she is still recovering from a knee injury which led her to withdraw from the 2023 World Championships in Budapest. However, she is expected to make a comeback later this year to qualify for the Paris Olympics.
