Olympics women’s 4 × 400 metres relay gold medalist Femke Bol has shared heartwarming glimpses of her Christmas celebrations, giving fans a peek into her life off the track.

The 24-year-old Dutch hurdler, known for her electrifying performances and cheerful personality, took to Instagram to showcase her preparations for the festive season, creating a delightful buzz among her followers.

In a short yet endearing Instagram reel, Bol was seen decorating a Christmas tree alongside her mother.

This glimpse into Bol’s personal life follows an eventful year filled with highs and challenges, both on and off the track.

Reflecting on her 2024 journey, Bol had previously said, “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. The road to all of this has been just as beautiful as the achievements, thanks to my amazing team.”

Another recent Instagram post featured her running, hurdling, and smiling through what she described as “sore muscles.”

Bol captioned the images, "Running, hurdles, smiles, sore muscles, all is good 🥰," displaying her signature positivity as she prepares to conquer new challenges.

Bol’s dedication to her craft comes as no surprise given her remarkable performances at the 2024 Paris Olympics.

She became a global sensation by leading the Dutch team to historic gold in the mixed 4 × 400 metres relay, outpacing formidable competitors from the United States.

However, the road was not without its hurdles—literally.

Bol had to settle for a bronze medal in the individual 400m hurdles, a race in which she had high hopes for gold.
