Another fall in the peloton! A few minutes following the fall of her compatriot Sifan Hassan in the final stretch of the 10,000 meters, Femke Bol also fell, in similar circumstances, during the final of the 4×400 m mixed relay at the Worlds, this Saturday evening.

While she was in the lead but was starting to run out of legs as she approached the last few meters, closely followed by American Alexis Holmes, the Dutchwoman suffered from cramps at the worst moment, falling head first on the track, dropping also the witness, which caused the elimination of the Dutch relay.

“It had already happened to me once, during the Indoor European Championships, testified Bol in the mixed zone. I do not know what happened. Maybe I was a little lactic and maybe I was also surprised to see the American next to me, even though I’ve been in this type of situation before and I’ve been away from it. then well out. I had seen Sifan fall, but I never thought I would do the same! »
