He broke his own record at the World Athletics Championships but went viral for his voice: “He looks like Mickey Mouse”

This weekend the World Indoor Athletics Championships were held in Glasgow and the flashes stayed with Femke Bol, the Dutch athlete, who broke the record in 400 meters with a mark of 49.17. The broken mark was 49”24 and belonged to her too.

The first record had been set on February 18 in Apeldoorn and she surpassed a mark that had been in force since 1983. Only two weeks had to pass before she surpassed herself.

After winning the race, he approached the BBC cameras and offered his analysis of how he approached the race and his achievement: “This is great, it was a difficult race, I knew they were all fast, I knew I had to be fast.”

However, what went viral was not the record, nor what she said in the interview, but her tone of voice since the users of X (formerly Twitter) said that if they listened to her with their eyes closed it was Mickey Mouse.

Since the publication of the tweet, Internet users began to argue among themselves. Some laughed at the athlete’s tone and others affirmed that what she achieved in sports was more important than the Dutch woman’s voice.

The incredible thing is that, after breaking her own record in an athletics world championship, Femke Bol went viral for the wrong reasons. The thing is, the young woman from the Netherlands has an admirable career. In Glasgow she also won gold in the 4×400 relay and the 400 meters hurdles at the World Outdoor Championships in Budapest the previous year.

Experts say that he handles circular running very well, thanks to his hip movements and foot support, and he has a great stride width. This combo makes her an athlete with an elegant style.

In the last Olympic Games, Tokyo 2020, he won the silver medal in the 400 meter hurdles. At 24 years old, she has 12 gold medals in different tournaments. She also has four in the European Indoor Athletics Championships, three in the European Athletics Championships and one in the European Games.

At the world level he has two obtained yesterday and two in the World Athletics Championships. With the Paris games just around the corner, Femke Bol will be at the center of the scene and probably because of her sporting exploits and not because of her voice.
