Sadly our women's relay has no real depth anymore behind Kaczmarek. Bumgart-Witan is a shell of herself. Święty doesn't have stamina to do individual & relays anymore and Hołub is injured. The last two will be gone after 2024 anyway.

Strange that De Witte, on paper our slowest runner, ran the fastest of the 4. Both Peeters and De Witte (in the heats) faster than in Budapest, Bol and Klaver (who ran in 2nd ) slower.

Meanwhile Dutch TV is ignoring all the non-running action to talk endlessly about......giving the sticks to the other person in a relay.

 

Luckily there's Belgian TV, but too bad it's relay day and they don't talk about their relay teams in terms of normal words, but just by their nicknames (like every single Belgian sports team has a nickname)  

 

We've just seen the Cheetahs get bronze, now the Tornados should no doubt get gold. Afterwards we'll get the Rockets and the Falcons, respectively.

Yeah for Klaver that's somewhat worrying, for Bol not so much, she really didn't need to push at all except for a little bit in the last 20 meters to make sure the gold would be theirs
