What a comeback!

An assured gold medal for the United States track and field 4x400 meter World Record holding mixed-relay team (which they had just posted yesterday at the Olympic Games Paris 2024) was stolen right from under them with an amazing final leg from the Netherland’s Femke Bol.

Stop what you’re doing and watch this stunning finish.

Social media was sent into a frenzy, and then as is usually the case with any viral story, other clips started to resurface, with Bol’s high-pitched voice compared to Mickey Mouse.

It’s all in good fun and takes nothing away from her amazing comeback final lap.

An instant icon indeed!
