re: victor van der wel

Here's a different version that includes footage all the way around, instead of the idiotic feed that twice cut to fans clapping in the stands. This guy films all the significant Dutch meets indoors and outdoors, posting the clips quickly to YouTube. It's the primary reason I began following that country's track and field many years ago. Very easy to get an idea who the next generation will be. This guy had clips of Bol when she was a lumbering 16 and 17 year old wearing long black socks every race:

To all the Sydney McLaughlin fans dissing Bol on a thread dedicated to discussing Bol breaking a world record:
SML's coach is Bob Kersee
His athletes have been linked to doping since the 1980s
Florence Griffit Joiner doped so hard, she likely dropped down dead from it
SML willingly and knowingly signed him up as coach in 2020 - since then she obliterated world record
That's all I need to know.

Syd may be clean, but I stopped rooting for her when I learned that Kersee was her coach.

I'm sure both of you have stopped rooting for all athletes that are coached or have been coached by Salazar and Schumaker for the same reasons.

T&F needs more athletes with Bol's mind set. She runs full seasons with many races and seems to face anyone they put against her. And at the end of the outdoor season she is still running her best times and winning medals, I am an American and I am more of a fan or her than I am of SML

Same, I like people that actually race. Maybe I’d be more of a fan of Sydney’s if I could see her more than about four times per year.

re: BOPA

Syd has her one year wedding anniversary to celebrate. She will not have time to focus on anything besides the 400h and will have to limit her races.

Prediction - Abbey Steiner ran more races last year than Sydney will run the rest of her career combined.

re: Doopitydoo

I don't think Kratochvílová received too much of an advantage there since she started in Lane 2 on the track. She had other advantages. Think with all the advances in tracks, track surfaces, and shoes it took 40+ years for this record. I do think we will see a big decrease in 400 times (other times also) due to the new shoe tech. Bols coach indicated a 7 cm increase in stride length over 80 meters.

re: Just a Point

Sorry, but the Dutch were recently caught out!

Charles Van Commonee who recently retired as the head coach of the dutch and overseer of that "great" training venue and programme was accused of bullying from an athlete who left the group as was being forced to use Thyroxine and didn't want to! and accused CVC of bullying, you can find the article in dutch and translate

What's clear is that CVC states all professional athlete should be using it and disadvantaged if not.

Look up the benefits and why its called "the light" and ..... then what do you see

Jesus takes sides in running races? You would think he would have more important things to think about. Like a war in Ukraine. Or maybe he just exists in your imagination.
The Lord is not playing favorites, but he has laid out a path for each of us to follow, and those who do will be rewarded.

Here I was thinking your Jesus comment was sarcasm. Hilarious stuff.

Coming for Bol, who's coach isn't CVC, and never has been CVC (and he has had nothing to do with her training) yet staying silent on McLaughlin being coached by Kersee, is laughable

I did an analysis last week that concluded that the open 400 is her best chance of gold in the next two years. Now that should be clear to her and her coaches too.

You were also in another thread saying she’d run 1:54 in the 800m and bear athing Mu and Laura Muir, so you’re basically out here just saying anything

And people wonder why Syd doesn't get more love and respect. Bol races all the time. Can't love what you never see.

Femke Bol Runs WR 400m indoor! 49,26. She ran the time to become Dutch national champ. Also Lieke Klaver ran 50.34 for second and shared 14th all time
Full results:

The fact that Klaver was still with Bol at the end is also incredible. I get Bol getting the attention but Klaver does deserve a little respect too.

re: victor van der wel

There is no rail on that track, specifically on the curves so that will not be ratified.

Here come the downvotes, but it's a fact!

That was a bonus at lunchtime.

She is extraordinary in herself.

The four hundred metres and eight hundred metre women. Wow

Dude!

CVC was the Athletics head coach and ran the papandal centre!!!!! oversaw the whole thing you idiot!!! No not her direct coach as thats another fraud/puppet in the making! Remember rocky 4. Its just another version of NOP

Go find the article! and actually read what I even said!

As for Syd and Kersey, heck that entire programme can go suck it! Absolute drugs history and the guy shouldn't be coaching ever again! the fact that these ladies are willing to still go there says a lot about them, absolutely agree!

Why didnt Mu run the 600 as planned! maybe was too "close"

Who are you to determine how often an athlete races. They will race absolutely when they want and it will have absolutely nothing to do with you. Who are you ? Are you going to tell them how many times a day they should brush their teeth.
