Former athlete Esajas is impressed by Bol. “It’s like you’re in a trance when you see how she walks. It seems so easy and relaxed. You see that with the greatest: as if she doesn’t have to make any effort. I see that with her too. I think her technique is world-class,” says Esajas. “When she walks, she has a 90-degree angle with her arms, her upper body remains perfectly straight. When she touches the ground, you see that she hardly does anything, as if she is caressing the ground.”
