Dutch hurdler and Olympic champion Femke Bol recently shared her thoughts after receiving a unique gift. The 25-year-old hurdler inched closer to her arch rival Sydney McLaughlin-Levrone's world lead performance with her recent performance at the Stockholm leg of the Wanda Diamond League 2025.
Bol subsequently shared a photo of a wristband, which had 'Boldozer' carved on it. This was a tribute to Bol's achievements as an athlete. Later, the Dutch hurdler expressed her thoughts through her latest Instagram story.
Bol wrote in the caption of her Instagram story,
"Thanks for the gift. Didn't hear one before this lol"

Bol clocked 52.11 at the Stockholm leg of the Diamond League, creating a new meet record. The Dutch hurdler fell 0.04 seconds short of eclipsing McLaughlin-Levrone's world lead timing of 52.07 seconds.

Femke Bol also extended her support to boyfriend and pole vault athlete Ben Broeders, who had a disappointing outing at the Oslo Diamond League. Broeders ended up with a no mark in all his attempts, having been unable to achieve the initial height of 5.62m.
The Belgian athlete opened up about his performance through an Instagram post, and added that he needs to take a break to gain strength for the rest of the reason. Bol supported his stance by sending a heart emoji in the comments section.

Femke Bol also shared her thoughts about her performances after her current outing at the Stockholme leg of the Diamond League. Despite back to back victories, the 25-year-old Dutch hurdler is far from impressed.
In an interview after the race, Bol talked about the race, as well as her own analysis about her performance, as she mentioned,
"This is one of my favorite stadiums so to take the stadium record makes me very happy. I am not in my best shape yet so to take the victory is especially good. I was very focused on the middle section of the race today, and that went well as I pushed ahead at the stage. I am still feeling some lactic but I am starting to feel the hurdles better every race."
Bol had overcome former world record holder in women's 400m hurdles Dalilah Muhammad, who clocked 52.91 seconds to finish second overall. Meanwhile, Gianna Woodruff of Panama clocked 53.99 to finish third in the race.
Femke Bol is aiming to add a fifth consecutive Diamond League title to her collection. She will also aim for a strong performance at the much awaited Tokyo World Championships, which will be held in September 2025.
