2023 Women’s 400 Hurdles World Rankings

Before hurdling to gold in Budapest, Femke Bol, who frequently alternated lead legs in ’23, cut 0.82 from her PR in London. (JEFF COHEN)

LONG-HURDLE FANS were disappointed when there was no Sydney McLaughlin-Levrone vs. Femke Bol matchup. The American WR holder skipped the event altogether, leaving it to the Dutch star to produce one of the event’s finest seasons ever…

THE UNDEFEATED BOL moved to No. 2 on the all-time list with her 51.70, producing the year’s 8 fastest performances and all-time performances 3, 8 & 10…

USATF CHAMP SHAMIER LITTLE was a clear No. 2, capturing the runner-up positions at both the WC and DL Final. Bol beat her convincingly, going 5-0… A powerful Jamaican contingent filled places 3-4-5.
