Bol was timed at a stunning 47.93sec for her final lap, which made up for last year’s world championships in Budapest when she fell with the line begging to hand the gold to the US team.

Bol, whose main goal in Paris is winning the women’s 400m hurdles, admitted to being spurred on by her dramatic fall in the Hungarian capital.“And my general anger from Budapest! That and my teammates cheering me. And the atmosphere in this stadium is absolutely incredible. It’s crazy. So everything together.”
