Femke Bol is on a real roll this season, isn’t she? She has been emphatically asserting her dominance in the women’s 400 m hurdles, and it all feels like a prequel to the looming Tokyo Worlds showdown. After clocking a scintillating 51.95 seconds in Monaco on July 11th — the fastest time of the year — Bol has already left her rivals in the dust. And now, just before the World Championship, Femke has dropped another massive performance at the Gyulai István Memorial on August 12th.

This run isn’t just about times, it’s momentum, confidence, and a statement: Bol is the one to beat. And yet, just beyond the end line lies the bigger battle, Tokyo and a clash with Olympic and world medallist Dalilah Muhammad, among others. So, before she even steps onto the track, could this Budapest performance reshape the dynamics in Tokyo?
