I think they have a huge influence of course. I grew up with darkness rippers being on the spring side one of the best at least There is and it was really inspiring for me winning a race is every athlete's goal after all That's the entire essence of the sport isn't it? No one absolutely no one would like to be crossing the finish line last In fact even podium winners bronze and silver medalist that is are sometimes disappointed for not getting gold Because of this they all train very hard and fem keboul is no exception While a medal preferably gold is enough for them to rejoice and for the exhaustion brought about by months of hard training to Seep off their tensed bodies Monetary prizes are very much welcomed as well as you all know the Dutch sprinter recently concluded her indoor season with an absolute bang Well, we really shouldn't expect any less from someone who was awarded as the female athlete of the year last season That too is no surprise since bold displayed exceptional athletic prowess in the past season by securing two gold medals at the 2023 World Athletics Championships held in Budapest Hungary as well as the top position in the women's 400 meter hurdles event after registering a spectacular time of 51.70 seconds She also contributed to the Dutch team's victory in the 4 by 400 meter relay event along with Lega Claver, Evelyn Salberg and Patel and Peters the team said a new world lead after clocking a time of three minutes 20.72 seconds Speaking of setting a world record she did this several times last year In fact, she started her 2023 by breaking a world indoor record at the new balance indoor Grand Prix in Boston There she set a women's 500 meter world best of one minute 5.63 seconds It was then that she broke the 17 year old mark of one minute 6.31 seconds to finish almost three seconds clear of Jamaica's Lega Anderson who recorded a national record of one minute 8.34 seconds Then she once again made history when she broke the longest standing track record in the world The nearly 41 year old mark in the women's indoor 400 meters when she ran 49.26 seconds at the Dutch indoor championships in Appledorn Breaking the previous record set by checkrunner Jermila Crutch-Telova with a time of 49.59 seconds in March 1982 Just so you know the record was the oldest on record in any track event including the Olympics or World Outdoor or indoor championships And then onto the worlds where she as earlier mentioned showed the world her exceptional athletic prowess But that's not all most remarkably she finished the year unbeaten in 20 flat 400 meter races Can you believe that well? It's Femkeable we're talking about so you can probably believe that completely But that does not discount the fact that it was a very remarkable feat Although she broke and set new world records countless times throughout her career She's still there out for blood kidding of course But she's really and truly back on track as she continues to chase greatness and forge a path others would dream of following So far this season she's been owning the track She opened the season by showcasing her prowess at the meeting Metz Mosel Ethelor meeting of the 2024 World Athletics indoor tour in early February Delivering a stellar performance with a time of 49.69 in the 400 meters Of course it wouldn't be bowl if she hadn't achieved more than a win for the event Her run marks the sixth fastest time indoors and the swiftest season opener in history The previous fastest time was registered by Jermila Crutch-Telova in 1981 when she clocked 50.07 seconds Bowl left behind Andrea Miquelos and Julia Niederberger who recorded 51.41 seconds and 52.96 seconds to secure the top position In her second race for the season the 23 year old Dutch sprinter topped the women's 200 meter event after registering a time of 22.64 seconds The time sets a new personal best for her in the 200 meters showcasing a remarkable improvement A few days later the two-time European athlete of the year recorded the fourth fastest time in history indoors in the 400 meters At the meeting Haudé France Paddacalille and Levin There she lowered her world lead to 49.63 The following weekend she sprinted to 50.55 in the heats just before her fourth race in February At the National Indoor Championships in Appledorn she improved her own record of 49.26 when she cruised through 200 meters in the lead and then powered over the finish line in 49.24 seconds to dip under 50 seconds indoors for the sixth time in her career so far And so one year after breaking Jermila Crutch-Telova's longstanding world indoor 400 meter record of 49.59 with 49.26 held at the same venue no less Bowl improved her mark which meant that she now holds six of the 12 fastest indoor 400 meter times in history Then at the 2024 World Athletics Indoor Championships in Glasgow, Scotland Bowl enhanced her status as one of the stars of track and field with a stunning triumph as she broke her own world record to take the 400 meter title After leading the pack for the majority of the race the 24 year old streaked away on the finishing straight to record a time of 49.17 seconds That's not all. With this win, Bowl just became the fifth Dutch athlete to win a World Indoor title After Elivon Hust, Nelly Kumin, Nadine Brorsen and Siffon Hassan It's her 15th medal at a major international championship In addition to the honor she brought to her countryland with the record breaking win along with the World Indoor title Bowl went home with additional prizes some described it as Dutch woman Femke Bowl will head to the bank smiling Thanks to her dominant exploits at the World Indoor Championships The reigning World 400 meter hurdles champion extended her winning streak to the 4 by 400 meter relay team propelling the team to victory but that's not the additional prize I was telling you about Thanks to her efforts on the global stage Bowl will walk away with $40,000 more than 5 million KSH For breaking the new world record the Dutch woman will walk away with $50,000 which is equal to more than 7 million KSH Overall she is expected to receive $100,000 not including any potential bonuses from her new balance contract For the 4 by 400 meter relay team the whole team will receive $40,000 However it is not certain on the amount of money each athlete will receive since six women participated in the discipline However, Bowl and LaSonde Wit are the only two who ran both rounds For those who are not aware, Bowl's financial assets encompass her earnings from prize money, endorsements, sponsorships and investments Obviously her net worth is significant due to her exceptional athletic achievements and popularity She has won multiple medals at the Olympic Games, World Championships and European Championships Her success on the track has earned her lucrative endorsement deals with major brands contributing to her overall well Her net worth is a testament to her hard work, dedication and athletic prowess She serves as an inspiration to aspiring athletes and demonstrates the financial rewards that can come with success in professional sports But more than the monetary aspect, Bowl like many other athletes is in it for the love of the sport Unsurprisingly, she has set her eyes on the Olympic Games in Paris, France where she intends to stun the world Boeing to the fact that she has had a great build up towards the event But before that, she is set to defend her European Championship title in the 400-meter hurdles in a couple of months Bowl being Bowl, she has expressed her readiness for the 2024 European Championships set for June 7th through 12th in Rome Anyhow, like Bowl, other athletes are gearing up to compete at the upcoming Summer Olympics as well Watch this to see for yourself
