[phelps 7,862]

Bol just too strong...

 

but amazing relay...I didn't expect it to be so close...

 

and Belgium...   

[OlympicIRL 5,543]

Just outside the NR but a 6th place, not bad at all

Triple gold for Bol and a gold medal for Lieke Klaver on her birthday 

[Monzanator 4,611]

So, is Bol more popular in Holland than Jutta Leerdam?

[Vektor 3,326]

Damn, so close to a surprise medal in javelin... The 4th place is great as well, but not like this. 

 

Four Hungarian 4th places today in Munich and no bronze medals...

Norway is now winning medals also in Pole Vault... Go and figure

She doesn’t have a cheese named after her.

Bol is a national treasure

 

So happy for the other runners as well, they did really well delivering the baton in 3rd position. Finally a medal for Klaver as well, so well deserved!

Jutta is relevant during the winter, not really relevant in the summer. 
 

And I think Bol has a more positive and kind image based on how she comes across in interviews. I don’t know anyone who doesn’t like Bol, whereas Jutta has some haters as she was in a relationship with Koen Verweij who was way older and her popularity is also partially based on her looks.
