Femke Bol
It is an amazing feeling to win a World Championship gold and the feeling is un-describable. I am really delighted especially because of the way I ran. I had a title to defend and I needed to come in with confidence and I felt strong. I am really proud of what I put out there and proud of my team as well. This is a result of the hard work we put in training in a whole year and when I do this I approach the race with confidence and I am always feeling relaxed. That’s why it looks easy.
Bol added her World Title number two to an already storied medal rack. Her next ambition is to go for the Olympic title.
