Global track star Femke Bol to open her season in Rabat

Femke Bol, who specializes in the 400 m and 400 m hurdles, has established herself as one of the brightest stars in contemporary athletics. In these disciplines, she has quickly risen to the world elite.
Her most memorable performance to date is her world indoor record over 400 metres, set in March 2024 in Glasgow with an incredible time of 49.17 seconds. This victory cemented her reputation as a female sprinting sensation.

Bol claimed gold in the 400 m hurdles at the 2023 World Athletics Championships in Budapest, clocking 51.70 seconds. She is also the reigning double European champion (Munich 2022) in both the 400 m hurdles and the 400 m flat, and has won multiple European relay championships. She gave her country a historic moment by securing its dominance with four consecutive Diamond League Final triumphs between 2021 and 2024.

Versatile, swift, and mentally strong, Femke Bol embodies a new generation of athletes who combine power and grace. The Rabat Diamond League meeting will mark her season debut as the world number one.
