First come the European indoor championships in Istanbul in less than two weeks. The head coach of hurdles and sprints at the Athletics Union understands that Bol wants to go for gold there. And maybe there is also an improvement in her world record. “That 49.26 is incredibly fast, but I saw in her first game of the season in Boston that she had a record. When you run a 500 meters for the first time and immediately set the best time ever, you are in shape. And when she ran 49.96 in Metz shortly afterwards with a jet lag in her legs, I knew enough. That world record would go.”
