Obviously :POL performed below expectations, 5 golds from 2019 and whooping 7 from 2017 were never the on the cards due to emergence of Bol, Ingebrigtsen and Duplantis. Ewa Swoboda wouldn't have won 60m either. So the only real gold we "lost" was the men's shot put.

It gives a distorted picture, because only the 400, relays and 60m hurdles went well. We had a lot of disappointments on Thursday and Friday.

 

But however, an unbelievable result for Dutch athletics, eh ... Dutch 400 meter project!

 

And Bol the new Schippers? No way, it will be very hard to achieve what Dafne achieved in her career.

But Bol is only 21yo and has a much earlier start into stardom than Schippers. She can definitely dominate the European 400m scene during the next decade and who knows what she does in Tokyo? Will she enter both 400m hurdles and 400m flat?

 

I have to say I can't tell a difference between the Dutch women's relay other than Bol being the tallest. They all kinda look the same ;)

Bol only competes in the 400 hurdles. And the 4x400 women's relay. Maybe as well in the 4x400 mixed relay, but at this point Netherlands is not allowed to start in that event.

Given her obvious talent I believe she's gonna be running 400m flat outdoors too if only in European events. Obviously 400m hurdles is less stacked globally so she might cause some surprise in Tokyo for sure.

We will see. The 400m hurdles is less stacked for sure, but she will have to battle with very strong Americans and Jamaicans. She said a few days ago she will run the 400m by now and then, but will have full focus on the 400m hurdles the coming years.

Yes, women's 400m hurdles has seen a rise in performance overall in the last few years after some lean spell in late 00s/early 10s. But I think Bol is one athlete that will definitely profit from OG being delayed to 2021 ;)

Just caught up on the replays of the Dutch medals and interviews. Great final day!

Femke Bol is definitely the big thing in Dutch athletics right now. Though when it comes to the Dafne Schippers comparison, I think the 100m/200m definitely has more status globally than the 400m hurdles.

 

CCB rightly said that there was also a couple disappointments for the Dutch athletes, but all in all it feels like a succesful weekend. In addition to the medals I was happy to see 19 yo Zoë Sedney reaching the 60m hurdles final and to see Rik Taam close to the medals and scoring multiple PB's in the heptathlon. I've said it before, but I'm really enjoying the current crop of Dutch athletics talent, even if it is mostly a 400m project I guess:p.

 

And it's always such a joy following these athletics tournaments! Following all of you here in the thread also puts various results by other nations into perspective. Thanks guys!

      Half of those things, if not more, are simply stories though. One may believe them or not, fine, but those aren't really reasons to claim a land. That way anyone can claim it if they have some old story that says so, and we end up in exactly the same situation.

      But actually we can, going back to the crusades, to the Jewish exile from the land of Israel.    To Moses who walked the sinai desert for 40 years to get into israel.   To all the stories in the Bible about israel.  And even Jesus who was born a jew in Bethlehem and lived in Nazareth.  All places you can see to date.   The only way you would argue that there is no historic proof that israel is out land is if you are simply and atheist and dont believe anything in the Bible.

      And before the Turkish empire it was another. And before that yet another. And yet another. And yet another. Always a good illustration of the never-ending killing of each other in especially that region. "The god in my stories is better, so we need to kill you and everyone around you" often being a central theme.     In short, nobody 'deserves' to be there (or anywhere in the world, for that matter) and definitely nobody right now can genuinely claim the land on historical grounds or anything (which apparently people often do), unless they're a proven descendant of the first cavemen and hunter-gatherers and such coming from Africa tens of thousands of years ago.

      Btw.  You should know that palestine is a made up country.   It never existed in history.  Before israel was awarded the land it was the British empire.  And before that the Turkish empire.    And you can google to see who was there before the turks.  But it was never palestine.   The people are Jordanian that Yasser Arafat took from Jordan because the king was killing them.   So if you're looking for a home, I would go to Jordan.   And Gaza was taken from Egypt in 1967.   Yet when sinai was given back, they never wanted Gaza.  I WONDER WHY!   so keep talking about a made up country that doesn't actually exist   Can wait to see your well thought and coherent response

      It was.  Lately is just tears of people who hate that we kill all their idols like Sinwar and Nasrallah.    It's surprisingly nutritious

      Algeria is third world.  Unless you lied about that as well and you don't actually live there.  Though I dont know why would someone pretend they live in that forgotten hell hole

      You are speaking like an imbecile in a forum in online, its not your grocery store or mosque in your third world village.   We have an identity.   I wouldn't expect you to know it.  But I'm happy to see you be miserable since we are killing each terrorist one by one. Just big red marks on the year book.    Keep going.  It's a boring time on an olympic games forum.   It's very amusing.

      I don't think dropping a bomb in the center of London would be beneficial to their position on the stage of global sports, but hey, who knows
