sport">,,I was very surprised with the time because the weather was not so good and it faltered on the last hurdle”, said Bol afterwards. And looking ahead to the rest of the season. ,,After this I will participate in the Dutch championships in preparation for the World Athletics Championships. After that I hope to do well in the European Championships, so it will be a very busy summer, but I am ready to chase fast times and medals.”
sport">Bol’s coach Laurent Meuwly looked back on the race with satisfaction. ,,This was a very good race from Femke. She started quickly and had some trouble switching to her other leg in the final hurdles. With that she could have won three tenths. The weather in Oslo was not ideal and the opposition was also light. We keep trying different tactics and we learn from that.”
Koster sharpens time, Samuel to European Athletics Championships

Jamile Samuel qualified with 23.05 (+1.1 wind) in the 200 meters for the European Athletics Championships in Munich, which will be held a month after the World Cup in Munich. Olympic finalist in the 400 meters Liemarvin Bonevacia had sensitive hamstrings after an excellent 200 meters last week in Geneva, which left him with some uncertainty in the double distance in Oslo.

sport">,,Liemarvin still lacks absolute speed in the first two hundred metres,’ explains Meuwly. That’s because he hasn’t been able to do enough top speed training after his injury in March. Still, I see progress and on Saturday he has a new chance in very warm conditions in Paris.” Ramsey Angela and Nick Smidt played no significant role in the 400 meters. Angela ran a messy race and finished last in 50.21, Smidt came from lane 1 to 49.77.
