At the World Athletics Indoor Championships held in Glasgow on a Saturday evening, Netherlands' Femke Bol delivered a breathtaking performance in the 400m, setting a new world record with a time of 49.17 seconds to clinch the gold medal.
Earlier in the year, Bol had already improved her own world record, and during this race, she demonstrated her exceptional speed by reaching the halfway mark at 200m in an astonishing 23.5 seconds. Hot on her heels was her compatriot, Lieve Klaver. However, Bol showcased her dominance by accelerating in the last 100m, securing her victory with the new world record time.
