In a pre-race interview, Femke Bol shared her mindset and how she manages pressure:"I don't think that's necessarily a bad thing if you can handle it and put it in the right place in my mind. It also helps me to be sharp and be ready."Bol won her fourth consecutive Diamond League trophy last year in Brussels, clocking 52.45s ahead of Anna Cockrell and Shiann Salmon, who finished 53.71s and 53.99s, respectively.She first clinched the Diamond League title in 2021 at Weltklasse Zurich with 52.80s, defended it in 2022 with 53.03s and continued her streak in 2023, setting a meet record of 51.98s.This season, she has won every 400m hurdles race she entered, from Rabat to Stockholm, Monaco, London and Silesia.

After winning the Silesia Diamond League in a world-leading time of 51.91s, Femke Bol said:"The atmosphere in the stadium is crazy and I love it! I have been in good shape and really consistent this year. In Budapest I was perhaps a bit rusty, but today felt really good. When you are consistent at a certain level, that is when you can expect to improve."Sydney McLaughlin not running the hurdles at the World Championships both does and does not change things. You always run to be the best. But I know I am the favorite now, so that is different."Sydney McLaughlin-Levrone and Femke Bol last competed against each other at the 2024 Paris Games, where McLaughlin-Levrone won gold in a world-record time, Bol claimed bronze, and Anna Cockrell took silver.
