Bol was supreme in the final. She took the lead after the first lap and held it until the finish. Lieke Klaver ran in Bol’s slipstream to silver in 50.16. She provided a unique 1-2 for the Netherlands. “That made it completely special,” responded a beaming Bol in front of the NOS camera. “She said, you also have a world record. I wasn’t thinking about that at all. I just wanted to become world champion.”
