Bol, who won bronze in the 400m hurdles at the Tokyo Games, crossed the line in a championship record 52.49 seconds in Rome to win her second European gold in the event and fourth overall. The 24-year-old’s effort saw her better American rival Sydney McLaughlin-Levrone’s season-leading mark of 52.70 set last month.
“It’s never easy, you can never take anything for granted, which is why it’s important to stay focused on myself and not think about what’s happening around me,” Bol said.
“Even though on a night like this it becomes much harder. This atmosphere is amazing, it gives me chills. “And Rome always has a special meaning for me: I love this track and this stadium. I worked hard for these championships and I arrived here in good shape, I believe I can be even better at the Olympics.” Norway’s Olympic champion Karsten Warholm also set a championship record and world leading time of 46.98 in the men’s race to win his third European gold.
