Olympics fans stunned by Femke Bol's voice after clip resurfaces of sprinter months before she stole 4x400 gold for the Netherlands

From: Daily Mail

Netherlands sprinter Femke Bol went viral on social media just minutes after incredibly snatching gold from the United States in the 4x400m - due to the sound of her voice.

Bol, whose best race is the 400 hurdles, ran her final lap in an incredible 47.93 seconds in pouring rain and the Netherlands won the race in 3 minutes, 7.43 seconds - .31 clear of the United States. 

It prompted a video from back in March to resurface on X when Bol was talking to the BBC after setting 400m indoor world record.

'I swear if you close your eyes, you could convince yourself Mickey Mouse has just broken the 400m indoor world record for Netherlands,' the post was captioned, and continued underneath: 'I saw this last night and she just seems and incredible, nicest human being and it's an amazing accomplishment. 

'But aye, this is all I could think of. Femke Bol you are fantastic.'

A user replied saying: 'She is the sweetest and love this comment too. If you close your eyes and hear, you can hear Mickey talking.'

Some fans were critical the X user in question for the joke about Bol, to which another follower replied: 'A few comments that seem unable to realize that you can admire somebody and still have a joke at the same time.'

And on Saturday, the sporting world was overflowing with admiration for Bol's stunning triumph.

'I'm sorry Femke Bol is a ridiculous absolutely ridiculous athlete,' said one fan on X, while another wrote: 'Femke Bol is probably my favourite athlete the last 2 years! She is just from another world!'

A different fan posted on X: 'Femke Bol on a final 200m charge is one of the most amazing things in sport. Outrageously good.'

And fortunately for the millions of Bol admirers tuning in on television, Saturday is not the only chance to see her compete in France.

Bol will be back on the track Sunday for the opening round of the women's 400 hurdles, which is widely considered to be her strongest event.

Olympic fans stunned by track star's 'Mickey Mouse' voice after crushing USA's hopes

From: New York Post

Dutch sprinter Femke Bol dragged the Netherlands to gold with an astonishing anchor leg in the 4x400-meter Olympic race on Saturday, then went viral on social media due to her high-pitched voice in a resurfaced interview.

When Bol spoke to the BBC in March after setting the 400-meter indoor world record, she did so with a particularly high-pitched voice that some X users compared to Mickey Mouse.

It is worth noting, however, that is not how Bol usually sounds — and was likely a product of adrenaline immediately after a race.

In any case, Bol's astonishing anchor leg in the rain at Stade de France on Saturday to beat the United States by .31 seconds stands as one of the best athletic feats of the Olympics so far.

Olympic fans stunned by track star's 'Mickey Mouse' voice after crushing USA's hopes

From: New York Post

Dutch sprinter Femke Bol dragged the Netherlands to gold with an astonishing anchor leg in the 4x400-meter Olympic race on Saturday, then went viral on social media due to her high-pitched voice in a resurfaced interview.

周六，荷兰短跑运动员芬克·波尔（Femke Bol）在巴黎奥运会4×400米接力赛中以惊人的最后一棒带领荷兰队夺得金牌，随后她因一段旧采访中的高音调声音在社交媒体上走红。

今年3月，波尔在创下400米室内世界纪录后接受BBC采访时，音调特别高，一些X平台用户将其比作米老鼠。

It is worth noting, however, that is not how Bol usually sounds — and was likely a product of adrenaline immediately after a race.

不过值得注意的是，这并不是波尔平时的声音，很可能是赛后肾上腺素分泌过多导致。

adrenaline = adrenalin /əˈdren.əl.ɪn/ 表示“肾上腺素”，英文解释为“a hormone produced by the body, for example when you are frightened, angry, or excited, that makes the heart beat faster and prepares the body to react to danger”举个🌰：These arguments always get my adrenalin going (= make me excited or angry). 这些争论总是让我肾上腺素上升（让我激动或恼怒）。

In any case, Bol's astonishing anchor leg in the rain at Stade de France on Saturday to beat the United States by .31 seconds stands as one of the best athletic feats of the Olympics so far.

无论如何，波尔周六在法兰西体育场雨中最后一棒跑出惊人的成绩，以0.31秒的优势击败美国队，成为本届奥运会迄今为止最突出的成就之一。

feat /fiːt/ 表示“功绩；技艺；武艺；功绩；英勇事迹”，英文解释为“If you refer to an action, or the result of an action, as a feat, you admire it because it is an impressive and difficult achievement.”如：to perform / attempt / achieve astonishing feats 表演惊人的技艺；争取/取得惊人的功绩，举个🌰：The tunnel is a brilliant feat of engineering. 这条隧道是工程方面的光辉业绩。

📍be no easy feat 不容易，非易事。类似的还有be no small feat/ be no mean feat可以理解为“是了不起的成就，绝非易事”，英文解释为：to be a great achievement，举个🌰：Getting the job finished in under a week was no mean feat. 一周内就把这项任务完成了，真了不起。

🎬电影《惊天魔盗团2》（Now You See Me 2）中的台词提到：by performing what he calls an impossible feat. 在这里上演他所谓不可能的奇迹。
