Femke Bol’s blazing burst down stretch leads Netherlands to gold in 4×400 relay to close out worlds

In a come-from-behind victory for the ages, Femke Bol of the Netherlands closed track's world championships Sunday by overcoming a 20-meter deficit down the stretch to finish first in the women's 4×400 meter relay. In that one, she was cruising for what looked like a sure medal when she fell at the finish line in the mixed 4×400 relay. There was no medal that night, and all signs pointed toward a third-place finish when Bol received the baton to run the last lap Sunday.
