Femke Bol recently reflected on her 2024 track and field season as she looks to wind down after a hectic Olympic year. This comes just a few days after she concluded her season at the 2024 Diamond League finals in Brussels.

The Dutch athlete's 2024 season comprised numerous laurels, including the 400m World Indoor title. Participating in her second Olympic games, Bol clinched a bronze medal in the 400m hurdles at the Paris Olympics before adding two more Olympic medals in the relay events (gold in 4x400m mixed and silver in 4x400m women's).

Following her Olympics campaign, Bol enjoyed successful campaigns at the Diamond League and the European Athletics Championships. A week after her last track event of the season in Brussels, the 24-year-old took to her official Instagram handle to share a flurry of pictures from her 2024 track campaign.

In her caption, Femke Bol thanked her support staff and other team members while reflecting on all of her achievements across the season. She wrote:

"It’s been an absolutely crazy year full of moments I’ll cherish forever 🤩. From world indoor champion in a world record to defending our European titles, going sub51 on the 400 hurdles, to winning 🥇🥈🥉 at the Olympics and finishing it off as Diamond League Trophy winner in Brussels," she wrote.

She further added:

"The road to all of this has been just as beautiful as the achievements, thanks to my amazing team 🫶🏼Now it’s time for some rest, thank you for all the support, see you after holiday," Bol added.
