WATCH: Femke Bol's makes stunning last lap run to help Netherlands win 4x400m mixed relay, beat USA
India TV News24-year-old Femke Bol ran a stunning last lap for a lifetime as the Netherlands mixed team won the 4x400m relay at the Paris Olympics beating the USA in a superb show of tenacity and ability to accelerate while keeping momentum and stamina for the final 100-150 metres. Bol ran the final lap in just 47.93 seconds to leave USA's Kaylyn Brown behind just before the finishing line. The Dutch team of Eugene Omalla, Lieke Klaver, Isaya Klein Ikkink and Bol clocked three minutes 3.07.43 minutes, missing the world record time set by the Americans by just 5ms. "I hoped to run that fast some time but in the relay you never look too much at split times, it's more about putting it together as a team and technically you have to race it well," Bol added as she completed a magnificent redemption arc.
