  + stars: | 2024-03-03 | by ( Issy Ronald | ) edition.cnn.com   time to read: +2 min
CNN —Dutch track star Femke Bol continued her golden year on Saturday, smashing her own indoor 400-meter world record at the World Athletics Indoor Championships in Glasgow, Scotland. “It’s amazing to also run a world record again. Equally adept over the hurdles and on the flat, she is the current world champion in both the 400m hurdles and 4x400m relay. Last year, she broke the 41-year-old world record in the indoor 400m and currently owns four of the six fastest times in the event’s history. At the 2022 European Championships, Bol became the first ever woman to win both the 400m and 400m hurdles at a major championships.

BUDAPEST, Aug 27 (Reuters) - Femke Bol produced an astonishing final leg to snatch gold for the Netherlands in a thrilling women’s 4x400 metres relay on Sunday, the final event of the World Championships. Anchor Bol took the baton in third place, almost 20 metres adrift of leaders Jamaica and behind Britain and was still well adrift of both going into the final straight. Bol, who fell just short of the finishing line in the 4x400m mixed relay on opening night then won individual gold in the 400m hurdles, overhauled Britain's Nicole Yeargin and then edged Jamaica's Stacey Ann Williams on the line. The Dutch clocked 3:20.72, Jamaica’s second successive silver came in 3:20.88, with Britain taking bronze in 3.21.04The United States women, who had won seven of the last eight World Championships and the last seven Olympic golds, were absent after being disqualified after a botched baton changeover in the semi-finals.
