If you see her in her regular clothes, you would never think that Femke Bol is the fastest in the world? So down-to-earth and modest – yes, even almost inconspicuous. If we were to encounter her in the supermarket, we would just walk past her. But once on the athletics track, no one can ignore her. Or better: not run past her. Still that friendly, innocent face, but then razor-sharp and mega focused. And above all: lightning fast!

Femke Bol is one of the most successful athletes at the moment. Her nickname? Not ‘rocket’ or ‘fighter jet’. No: ‘Bambi’! She got this nickname in her teenage years because of her gangly movements during hurdles, where her arms and legs flailed in all directions. And she still does hurdles, although her running is now perfect. Femke Bol has recently achieved multiple Diamond League victories and is one of the most important athletes in the athletics world in recent years. But we want to know more about this special, sweet girl. We saw on her Instagram that she was recently (July 2, 2025) proposed to by her love Ben Broeders, also a top athlete in athletics, but in pole vaulting.

Femke Bol: the fastest athlete in the Netherlands and the world

Femke Bol broke multiple world records and won various international medals, such as her world championship in the 400 meters hurdles in 2023. Her peak form and strategic approach to the sport make her one of the greatest athletes of her generation.

World champion 400 meters hurdles 2023: Femke Bol won gold at the world championship 400 meters hurdles in Budapest, with a time of 51.70 seconds, confirming her as the best in the world. How she flies over the hurdles, in that nice asymmetrical off-shoulder outfit from New Balance; it is almost touching to watch, so beautiful, so smooth, and so focused. And then that striking high voice when she is interviewed after her victory. She didn't really like going viral with it. ‘I understand that it's funny for some people, but for me, it's not a compliment,’ she candidly said about it. Fortunately, her fiancé Ben can support her.

Calm and focus in competition

Femke Bol is often praised for her calmness during competition. She always remains concentrated and confident, even in the most challenging circumstances. Her coach, Laurent Meuwly, calls her a mental rock: “Femke doesn't get easily thrown off. She stays calm and rational, even in the most stressful situations.”

Femke regularly emphasizes in interviews that enjoyment is the key to her success. She says: “As long as I keep enjoying it, I will keep pushing through and improving.” This mindset has not only helped her perform at a top level but also to deliver consistently high performances throughout her career.

Femke has been engaged to Ben Broeders since July 2, 2025 , the Belgian pole vaulter. Ben Broeders is one of the best pole vaulters in Belgium and literally holds the Belgian record (5.85 meters)., Femke wrote on Instagram:.

My person for life . They will fit together so well, both top athletes. They will understand better than anyone why you often choose training and competitions first and then find time for each other. A world that only they will understand.. How Femke Bol's performances are changing the athletics landscape.

Femke Bol is a pioneer in the 400 meters hurdles and her performances have changed the standards for this discipline. In addition to her impressive performances in the 400 meters hurdles, she has proven herself in the 400 meters and 200 meters, making her an all-round athlete who excels in various disciplines.

Femke Bol, what a super fun top athlete (with the best mindset).

Femke is undoubtedly one of the greatest athletes of her generation. In the interview with Robbert Rodenburg in his

program Open Kaart you see his lovely young woman who knows exactly how she wants it on the track. And notably; her voice is very normal, and very different from that striking high voice when she is interviewed after her victory. But she also talks very honestly about her insecurities. Top sports also mean that you are daily busy with the right nutrition, the perfect muscles, and balance in what to eat and what not to eat. A very good and fun interview, about acceptance and her self-image. Watch the video here. Femke: we will keep following you here, at the editorial office of Amayzine, with a lot of love.
