Bol was able to keep up with McLaughlin-Levrone until halfway through the race, but especially in the last 150 meters the American was much too strong for the rest of the field. Bol then also saw the American Anna Cockrell pass her, with 51.87 Bol eventually had to give up exactly one and a half seconds on the gold. Her time was also more than a second above her personal best time.
Ball no match for big rival: Olympic bronze for Amersfoort
